25 Of The Best One Liners You Have Ever Heard

Posted by , Updated on February 13, 2024

One liners are great. You can use them everywhere. Parties, school, work…they’re guaranteed to make you the coolest cat in town. Okay, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but there is something about a well placed one liner that can completely change the mood of a conversation. Often they can be a great way to diffuse awkwardness, reduce tension, or just elicit some laughs. If you’re really good, it will probably take people a few minutes to get it and some might not get the joke at all. The difference between one liners and typical jokes is that one liners are just that – one line. Usually a statement or an observation, the joke often involves some sort of word play or irony. The key to making a good one liner work is to fit it into the conversation seamlessly. This means that you always have to be on the lookout for opportunities to drop your joke, at least in the beginning. As time goes on you’ll get more natural and even start surprising yourself at how good you’ve become. At any rate, even if you never use them one liners make for good fun. These are 25 of the best one liners you have ever heard!
