"Break the Ice!" by DEV

And the nerds with the statistical charts said: "It takes four seconds of silence for a conversation to be awkward." EVERYBODY hates awkward moments. And so, Dev the Awezome shall show you tips on how to liven up awkward scenarios in your life.

Now, now. I know you're not as big of a loser as Ark, but here's MY LIST OF AWEZOME THINGS TO DO DURING AWKWARD SITUATIONS:

1. Place a penguin on your lap. The critter will absorb all the awkwardness.

(I mean LOOK at that awkward neck.)

2. Grab a coconut and two straws. Give one straw to the other person. First one to punch a hole on the coconut using only the straw wins.
3. Ask about his/her family background, emphasizing how important it is to keep Mudbloods away from the family tree.
4. Compliment the weather...literally. Talk to the clouds and tell them how much more interesting they seem to be compared to the person you are having an awkward silence with.



5. Tell them about the last movie you saw...and how you farted so loud inside the cinema.
6. Tell them about yourself. Then say "now I'm gonna have to kill you."
7. Pantomime with passion.


(staring at apples may get rid of the awkward vibe.)


8. Mimic the silence you two are creating. Make an on-the-spot remix of the quiet music and upload it on YouTube.
9. Bring out your phone...and throw it as far as you can. Encourage the other to compete against your distance record.
11. Tell them how you don't know the last number after 9.
12. Talk to the penguin. It knows much more about "breaking the ice." *pun intended*
13. Ask them to give you 9 synonyms of the word "pun" and tell them how funny the word sounds.



14. Prank contest. Whoever cries first loses.
15. Acting contest. Whoever cries first wins.
16. Staring contest. Whoever cries first must do so without blinking.



17. Point at a nearby no-existent shooting star.
18. Pretend to be playing a game show. The winner gets to keep the penguin.
19. Ask them to define "awkward" in a thirty-three paragraph-long speech.
20. Count the rocks on the floor. If none, toss around random stuff from you bag and count them. Emphasize how much you love numbers.
21. Eat non-existent pizza. Share.

(DAT face...is definitely NOT awkward.)


22. Attempt kiss. If denied, proceed kiss with penguin...or with the clouds.
23. Attempt kiss. If allowed, refuse. 'cause you're a BADASS.



24. Sing the alphabet in falsetto. Mash-up with Twinkle Twinkle.
25. You're still reading this? AWKWARD.
26. Have you tried asking their name?
27. You haven't found ANY good advice from this list? Really, how AWKWARD is that situation?
