95 Funny Hypothetical Questions (The Ultimate List)

A hypothetical question is not based upon reality, but upon opinion, conjecture, supposition, or personal belief. Frequently the answer is unexpected and original. Answering a hypothetical question often takes some creative thinking.

Hypothetical questions can take several different forms. In this article, we begin with one of the most common hypothetical queries – “What would you do?” questions. Next, we have some funny hypothetical questions, followed by some weird ones. The last section presents some Scenario Game Questions, those that are story based and fun to pose in a group at a party or other gathering.

It is fun to speculate what one would do in various situations. We have created a list designed to spark your imagination and provide some fun. Take some time to ponder your response before you answer. Remember that there is no right or wrong answer; you must be purely subjective. These questions are fun to share with friends and work well as ice-breakers at parties and other get-togethers.
