no sorry pal I don't but if you made them laugh I think it was a good thing , If you don't like someone you coudn't laugh at their joke , think about it ,, could you , So well done pal , you must have made them relaxed xx

I think it's good to make the interviewers laugh .. just imagine how bored they must get having to answer all the same questions over and over .. To be able to instantly think of something like that shows you are quick witted and not just sitting there like a frightened bunny .. so you will be able to act responsible and quickly to 'out of the box' incidents ... Also the example you chose showed you know when to move outside of the rules .. why you did it .. and that you care for the folks who ring up .. Well done to your wolfie .. now please, puhlease get the job ! .. XX Fingers firmly crossed XX

Its always good to make the interviewers laugh, that way they will remember you! By asking funny interview questions the interviewer is trying to test the nerve of the candidate. So its best to Just relax and show a bit of enthusiasm and just answer these funny questions the same as the other interview questions.

I haven't interviewed anyone or been interviewed myself in a very long time but i did find this link to... Strange But True (And Really Funny) Job Interview Behaviour http://www.work911.com/articles/humorinterviews.htm and Eighteen "Do Nots" For Your Next Job Interview http://www.allfunnypictures.com/pages2/18donots.html Hope you get the job!

it is always good to lighten up the mood in an interview.if it is too tense then there are chances that we might get nervous and screw up the interview.when you are at ease you tend to do better in interviews.well one of the incidents which took place in college was the HR's name was Joy.so when my friend went in he introduced himself and the HR introduced himself as Joy .my friend didnt get that it was his name and said ya i am happy.this went on for sometime when finally the HR said he was Joy.we had a hearty laugh.and you know what my friend did get the job.:-)

i think that it solely depends on the person and the pannel who is interviewing u and it further depends on the designation too! i dun fel any thing bad with it if the situation demands wish u best of luck!

obviously it is really a good idea to make ur interviewer to make laugh as it makes interviewer comfortable in interview process

The first time I met my ex boss was during the interview itself. He had to do it himself cause the person from HR that was supposed to interview had an emergency to attend to. It was a pretty boring interview and just before we were about to wrap it up, he asked "Do you have any felony record?" and I looked at him without thinking I said "No, I have very good lawyers". He was quiet for maybe a sec or two and then burst out laughing. I seriously think that's how I got my job.

Congrats on your first (?) interview. Hope things go well with you regarding this. Don't worry too much if don't get this one, it's not your loss, it's their loss.;) Always think positive. I think it's good to make your interviewers laugh, just to break the formality or to ease a bit. There is this question of an interviewer that never happened to me before. He asked,"What makes you happy." So I guess, when an interviewer could come up with such a 'strange question' for me; I guess laugh or happy is a very good thing.

Yes, it's good to make your interviewers laugh because it tells them that you are just being yourself and that you have the confidence. It will also tell them that what they see in you is the real thing not just a show.

I am not in any interview , The only interview i have given is for a scholership in my university and they did not make me laugh.

hey it is really funny well upto some extent it is good to make your interviewer laugh but if you exceed your limit may be it may give a bad experince, but if we take in another way by laughing some of your nervesnous is removed during interview

if you ave experience this so you must know but if you are first time then you should go and be confident wit pleasant smile not laugh because it look occuwards

I think it's good to make the interviewers laugh at things you say, but not for them to laugh at YOU!

I expect so. I had an interview yesterday myself! I think it's always best if you at least raise a few smiles and make them chuckle a bit. As long they're not rolling around crying with laughter. Mind if they are, they like you - the jobs yours!!

Good for you. I experienced being interviewed for several times but I haven't encountered questions with a story to tell yet. I have read in some of the tips about interview that we should be equiped with truck-load of stories before going into an interview and that's what I've been preparing for.

In order to make a healthy and soothing interview environment it is good to make the interviewer laugh in between. It will also show that you ahve a good sense of humor. But you should be extremely careful doing this as little diversion may take the interview out of trasck which in turn will create problem in interview.

I think they must have liked you and first impressions are important1 You came across as caring with a good sense of humour! When i used to interview people being able to the job was important but equally it was fitting in with the team of peple already employed! The fact you were told you had done well is a good sign GOOD LUCK!

nice to hear that you might have a job soon :d i've been an interview for a couple of times but usually the flow of the discussion went too serious.. i guess i might try your strategy =)lol let's see if making the interviewers laugh would gets an extra point :p
