50 Funny Persuasive Speech Topics
Persuasive speeches are those that address themselves to the minds and hearts of people who heard them; but funny persuasive speeches give color to the speech and the effect they have is unparalleled. The value of the speaker’s words is doubled with the fun element.
A funny persuasive speech evokes a light-hearted response from the audience from the beginning of the oratory. While every tone and every gesture forecasts the result with the audience, the overall anticipation and pleasure comes from the funny persuasive speech topic you choose.
We have come up with funny persuasive speech topics that are out-of-the-box and not the regular topics you find everywhere. They help differentiate you from others in the same genre.

Hahaha… that’s what makes them funny. Like it or not girls get more offended than guys… so speeches that are ‘anti-female’ are just plain more enjoyable because it’s funny when some one gets all defensive. Sorry but it’s kinda true haha. But in saying that… I am a fellow girl… but if you look at the bigger picture… half of those topics are true… sorry hahah

Thanks for taking the time to put ideas out there.

Rachel Green says:
It’s truw. But there should also be topics making fun of men. We can laugh at each other. If only one gender keeps being picked on, it shows lack of creativity and inability to think out of the box to make fun of the other gender. Let’s mix it up abit and make fun of each other and not just women. -Not offended, just spreading awareness. There’s more we can do.
