Besides, others would also willingly join the tete-a-tete to relate funny incidents that they may have experienced.

1# Imagine that you've seen an interesting person at a function or a club party. You obviously want to get introduced without sounding cliched about your approach.

You want an opportunity to know him/her better. Walk up to the person, and say, "Hi! I have noticed you for a while. I do think it's high time we met!" This will ease the situation, and help you score some extra points for a creative factor.

2# If you are looking to create active participation from all the people at an interesting repartee, you can opt for some funny icebreakers by asking humorous questions. "Which animal would best represent your personality?", would help to generate a little bit of interest, and bring forth many interesting incidents.

You can even begin with your own self, and make the situation really funny by comparing your attributes with those of an animal.

3# Striking a rapport with children is a challenge. While some love to chat, few are reticent about it. Share something funny from your childhood. Narrate how you goofed up in an exam. This will bring you to a level they can identify with.

These funny kick-starters should help you add some adroitness to a casual chat. Always ensure that you help people relax and feel comfortable with each other. This would be the most effective way to keep any conversation interesting and alive.
