Spontaneous, funny, unforgettable: the best opening sentences for your PowerPoint karaoke presentation!

May 8, 2025

Whether at school, a company party, presentation training, team building or even a private PowerPoint-Karaoke Party with friends – PowerPoint-Karaoke always provides plenty of laughs. Instead of dry presentations, there are spontaneous presentations where you have to speak completely unprepared about a topic that you often only get to know during the presentation. And what would a good PowerPoint-Karaoke session be without a creative introduction? We have collected some funny and original sentences that are guaranteed to make your next presentation unforgettable.

Take a look, get inspired and have a great start!

15 creative and humorous introductory sentences:

  1. “Thank you all for coming to hear my groundbreaking research on this unexpectedly fascinating topic…”

  2. “Today we’re diving into a topic that may not be vital to the world, but it is to me personally!”
