WOULD YOU? 8

In My Opinion

Would You Rather? is a conversation starter/party game that asks a question posing a dilemma between two possibly good options, two possibly bad options, or a good or bad option. Answering neither or both is not an option.

QUESTION: Would you rather be the funniest person in the room or the smartest?

My answer: Although being the smartest would be cool, and I suppose it would depend on where this particular room might be located, I’d rather be the funniest because as I always say – laughter is the best medicine!!

Now it’s your turn…

My automatic response was ‘smartest’ because I can imagine being able to do so much more in my life if I was brighter, smarter, more intelligent. But then I remember the times when I did know the right answer in school and was too embarrassed to raise my hand. Or the times when I talked down because I didn’t feel comfortable using a better vocabulary. Now days, I wish I could remember some of those better word choices and right answers. Not that I was ever a genius to begin with…ha!

So, all that being said, I choose funniest. Funny people can put others at ease, can bring comfort, can lift spirits.

since both isn’t an option, I choose to be the smartest in the room. What did you choose?

I like smart humor, so the funniest person is usually the smartest! But… overall being smart is double edged. You know enough to be disgusted by ignorance. Still if you’re smart, you’re smart. I really like being funny, as it brings joy and shared laughter. People like funny and I like people to like me.
But I’m also fairly smart… this is a hard one!

  Being funny does take some smarts, LeeAnna.

I have a feeling that if I ever imagined I was either, I would be delusional or, in retrospect, very embarrassed. 😁

I completely agree with you about being the funniest person in the room.
And often, the funniest person is the smartest. Win-win!

Funniest, HANDS DOWN.
Of course, that means I won’t probably be the richest in the room HA. But I am okay with that. 🙂

I have this fear of being stupid. ha. So I guess I’d rather be the smartest person in the room. Maybe then I could come up with funny jokes too! And pass them along to the comedians in the room to make us all laugh. 🙂

It would be great to be smart but sometimes I find smart people boring and not street smart. To have people laugh because your funny would be so good. People need laughter in their lives and if I could be a part of that then thats fine with me.

While being the smartest could be frustrating at times, I think I would choose it and hope that I was smart enough to be funny as well!

I’m going to go with funniest as long as I’m not a clown or something. Can I combine the two and be the most clever?

I would rather be the smartest. If you are the smartest you know how to work the room to get laughs as well as respect!

I would have to say funny – seems easier to get along with people when you are funny. Thanks for sharing with us at The Blogger’s Pit Stop!

Definitely the smartest. Being smart gets you a lot farther in life than being funny.

I love it! What a great ?. I think if I were the smartest I might be able to figure out how to be the funniest! Maybe?

Thanks for sharing at Fiesta Friday this week!

I would absolutely rather be the funniest as well. Being smart has its advantages, but it also can also have disadvantages…depending on who is in the room. Thanks for linking up!
