Food fightsA pizza with every topping or a pizza with no cheese?

Coworkers in a sunny office lounge laugh and raise their hands to vote during a quick game.

Read a pair, everyone picks at once by moving, voting in a poll or typing 1 or 2 in chat, and one person from the smaller side defends it. As a quick vote you get through about 15 pairs in 10 minutes; with a defense each, about 8. Every pair is absurd but clean for work: no drinking, money, dating or looks, and the jokes are about situations, never about a person.

How to play funny this or that at work

Four steps, three ways to vote, and one line for each setting.

  1. Pick a set for the room. Food fights for a new team, office life for people who share the same meetings, rapid fire when you have two minutes.
  2. Read both options, then count to three. Everyone picks at the same moment, so nobody waits to see where the manager lands.
  3. Ask the smaller side to defend it. One person, 20 seconds. The weirdest answer usually wins the room.
  4. Keep it moving. As a quick vote you get through about 15 pairs in 10 minutes; with one defense per side, about 8. Rapid fire runs 25 in five.

Poll, move or chat

  • Poll: paste the pair into a Zoom, Teams or Slack poll and reveal the split before anyone explains.
  • Move: in the office, the left wall is this and the right wall is that. Whoever stands alone gets the floor.
  • Chat: on video, everyone types 1 or 2 at the same moment, then the host reads the count.

In the office, hybrid or on video

  • In the office: move to a side of the room, or hold up one or two fingers if people would rather stay seated.
  • Hybrid: the room votes with hands, the call types in chat, and the host reads both counts at once.
  • On video: share the picker, read the card, and give the chat three seconds before anyone defends a pick.
  • In a team channel: post one pair a day as a poll. Friday is a good day for the strangest one.

Over about 60 people, counting hands stops being fun. A host-run virtual game show splits a big group into teams and keeps everyone playing.

A hybrid team laughs around a conference table while remote coworkers laugh along on the wall screen.

Funny this or that FAQ

What are some funny this or that questions?

Funny ones pair two silly options that are both a little bad or both a little great, like “Spaghetti with chopsticks or soup with a fork?” or “Lose one sock in every load or find a stranger's sock in every load?” This page has 100 in five sets: food fights, office life, tiny dilemmas, superpowers and rapid fire.

What are good funny this or that questions for work?

Pick ones about the work everyone shares, never about a person, like “A meeting that could have been an email or an email that should have been a meeting?” or “A theme song when you join a call or a laugh track when you make a joke?” The office life set has 20 like these.

How do you play this or that in a team meeting?

Read a pair, have everyone pick at once (a side of the room, a hand, or 1 or 2 in chat), then let one person from the smaller side defend it. Plan on about 15 pairs in 10 minutes as a quick vote, or 8 with a defense each.

How do you play this or that on Zoom or Teams?

Share the picker on this page, read the card aloud and have everyone type 1 or 2 in chat at the same moment, or use a meeting poll. Spotlight one person from each side, then press Next pair.

Are these this or that questions safe for work?

Yes. Every pair is absurd but clean: no drinking, money, dating, looks, religion or politics, and nothing that puts one person on the spot. Let anyone pass, and save the superpower set for a team that already knows each other.
