Good to know

What makes a White Elephant gift funny?

Surprise plus recognition: the room laughs hardest at something absurd they've secretly seen online — a yodelling pickle, a screaming goat — landing in a coworker's hands.

Should a funny gift still be usable?

The best ones are. A karaoke mic or hot-sauce flight gets the laugh and still gets stolen; a purely disposable joke usually goes home with whoever's politest.
