How to use funny quotes.
Funny quotes carry a lot more weight than it appears. The perfect funny quote can lighten the mood in the workplace, get a smile out of someone in a tough place, and make a bigger message much more memorable.
It’s important to use the right funny quotes, though. The first rule is to know your audience and how the funny quote will be delivered. Are you putting up a poster that to ring in laughs at the next family function? Are you giving a card to newlyweds?
The great thing about funny quotes is that they can each be tweaked. Change a word and make one your own. If it’s a famous quote, this twist makes for an even bigger impact when people think they know what’s coming... but something else sparks their laughter instead.
Here are some best practices when working with funny quotes:
- Consider the source of a quote.
- Learn about the context of certain quotes, too. This is especially true of funny movie quotes. Read the synopsis of a film to see who the character was who delivered the punchy line and why it was funny in the moment. For fans of those movies, the right funny movie quote will add a whole new layer of laughs.
- When you do use any quote, it’s a good idea to double check who said it. Like an endless game of telephone across the internet, some quotes have become attributed to the wrong people.
Exercise: dial in delivery.
If you have a target audience who will see your funny quotes, picking the right quote is essential.
It’s also important to think about how the quote will be seen. Will it be broken into an intro and a punchline (like on the face and interior of a card)? Will it be blazed across a massive poster?
To dial in on the perfect quote, ask yourself: how do you want the audience to feel? You want them to laugh, but with what message lingering in the afterthought?
Drill down to the kind of humor you want to conjure, then find the best funny quote that fits it. If you’re unsure, run a few picks past an audience. See which one gets the biggest guffaw.
