Once there was a job interview. The interviewer asked the candidate, 'If you could be any superhero, who would you be?' The candidate replied, 'Iron Man.' The interviewer then asked, 'And why is that?' The candidate said, 'Because I can show up late to meetings and still be the coolest person there, just like Tony Stark!'
Well, I know a story. There was a new employee at an office. On his first day, he went to the break room and saw the coffee machine. He said, 'I'm not sure if I'm supposed to talk to this thing or just worship it.' Everyone in the room started chatting with him after that. His self - deprecating humor really worked as an icebreaker.
A group of friends were at a coffee shop. A new guy joined them. To break the ice, he said, 'I was at the airport the other day and I saw a man trying to fit his huge suitcase into the overhead bin. He pushed and shoved and finally, the bin door opened and all his clothes came tumbling out on top of him. He was buried under a pile of underwear and socks. It was like a laundry avalanche.' The friends couldn't stop laughing and started sharing their own travel mishaps.
Well, there's a story about a parrot. A family bought a parrot that knew only bad words. Every time someone passed by, it would swear. They tried everything to make it stop. Finally, they put it in the freezer for a few minutes. When they took it out, the parrot was shivering and said, 'I'm sorry for my bad words. I'll be good now.' And it never swore again.
There's this story. A group of students were on a field trip. One student accidentally got his backpack stuck in the bus door. He said, 'Well, I guess I'm not going anywhere now!' Everyone had a good laugh and it loosened up the group. They then shared other embarrassing moments they had on trips. It's a great icebreaker because it's relatable and funny.
Once upon a time, there was a guy at a party. He wanted to break the ice and started talking to a girl. He said, 'You know, I have a superpower. I can tell what people had for breakfast just by looking at them.' The girl was skeptical. So he pointed at a man and said, 'That guy had cereal.' And he was right! Everyone was amazed, but then he whispered to the girl, 'I saw the milk mustache on his face when he walked in.'
Sure. Once there was a cat that tried to catch its own tail. It spun around in circles, looking so confused. It was hilarious.
There are quite a few great icebreaker novels. 'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green is a wonderful option. It's a contemporary young adult novel that tells a moving love story. The writing is engaging, and it's not overly complex. 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell is also a good pick. It's a short and powerful allegory that can be easily understood and can start some interesting discussions about society and power.
Sure. Here is one. A magician was walking down the street and turned into a grocery store. Another one is that a snail got mugged by two turtles. When the police asked what happened, the snail said, 'I don't know. It all happened so fast.'
There was a cat that always followed its owner everywhere. One day, the owner decided to take a bath. The cat was very curious and sat outside the bathroom door meowing. When the owner opened the door after the bath, the cat looked at the owner in a very strange way as if it didn't recognize the clean and wet human in front of it. It was really a funny moment.
Sure. Here's a funny joke. A magician was walking down the street and turned into a grocery store. As for a funny story, once a guy thought his cat could talk.

He said, 'I knew you could understand!'. But the cat just blinked and went back to sleep.
