Funny Small Talk Lines That Work in Any Situation

In that clip of Catherine the Great, she, she utters one of my favorite lines that works all the time.

I say it all the time. I love saying, "I'll be the judge of that."

It works everything. Uh, you know, you could say it for everything.

Like, when the waiter says, um, you know, "Walk this way."

"I'll be the judge of that." Love it. And there's a l- there are a lot of those.

I s- I think I said it earlier today to someone, but, um, I, I always love to say, um, "Thanks for the warning."

Mm-hmm. You know? It, it works. These are lines that...

And I tell the kids on our show, if you don't know what to say, at least have 10 things you could say.

Like, for small talk, you can have a list of 10 things to say that work in every situation always.

Always. My favorite, my all-time favorite one is, um, uh, is, is, um, uh, uh... Here, it's coming.

It's, it's... I got it. You're gonna love this.

It is, it is, um, uh, uh... Yeah, I lost it.

Sorry. I don't know. You will end up saying it tonight. I will say it. You will say it.

Oh, trust me. Oh, yeah. I'm gonna say it.

I got it. Oh, oh.

I don't see how that... That... I... A- a- ask me a question.

Ask me any question. Uh, okay. So, you grew up in Louisiana?

I don't see how that's any of your business.

It works every time. Every single time. And it's funny, a lot of the times, though, I have to say to the person, "I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding."

Because they nev- no one ever expects it.

So, you... Yeah, so the takeaway here, "I don't see how that's any of your business."

"I'll be the judge of that." Judge of that.

And what was my other one? I said it. I have a short memory.

I'll be the judge of that. Oh, "Thanks for the warning."

Oh, yeah, "Thanks for the warning." Thanks for the warning.

Apparently, Lucille Ball used to have one, that if she was having a dinner party or something and someone went to the loo- Uh-huh ... when they came back in, she'd go, "Tell her to her face."

Oh, God. You got to tell her.

Well, you can use that when your next guest- Oh, yeah. ... comes in.

Yeah. Now, we... No, tell him. Tell him. Tell him.

Oh, yeah. It's good pedigree as well. It's good pedigree. I love it. Yeah.

It's good pedigree.
