“Oh no! I think I just got struck by thunder” is one of the funniest things to say when you’re shocked.

Oh no! Who let the bag out of the cat?

“Let the cat out of the bag” is an idiom that means to reveal a secret. So, exclaiming with “Oh no!” and asking who let the cat out of the bag depicts surprise that a supposed secret is no longer one.

However, the humor here is that it’s the bag that is being let out of the cat and not the other way around. I bet they won’t miss it. 

Well, you really caught me off guard. Next time come with a warning label

To be taken off guard means to be taken by surprise. So, this statement is another comical way to express your shock. The humor is in asking the person to come with a warning label. 

For instance, if someone shocks you with an odd dress, asking them to come with a warning label teases them about their appearance.

Here’s another interesting thing to say when you’re shocked.
