Pickup lines can be hilarious icebreakers when they are clever and unexpected but they can also fall flat if they are overused or awkward. In this video we break down 10 funny pickup lines that actually work and 10 pickup lines that are so typical they should probably be retired. The best pickup lines use humor confidence and a little creativity to start a conversation. A clever line can earn a laugh or at least spark a smile which makes it easier to break the ice with someone new. On the other hand many classic pickup lines have been repeated so many times that they no longer feel original or interesting. We compare funny clever one liners that people still enjoy hearing with the most predictable lines that usually lead to eye rolls instead of laughs. Pickup lines work best when they surprise someone with wit and personality rather than sounding rehearsed or cliché. Comment below with the funniest pickup line you have ever heard.
