How to translate "That's a good one!"

How to translate "That's a good one!"

I suppose this is kind of a slang phrase in English.. I'm not sure though.
What would the translation be, if I am trying to tell some one that I think their answer was especially smart, or they told a funny joke? In English, I would say: "That's a good one!"..
One of the translator choices is "¡Es una buena!" But that didn't seem appropriate to me. Thanks, in advance!

Hmm....hard to translate that expression.

.... think their answer was especially smart

¡Eres tan listo/a!

.. or they told a funny joke

¡Bien hecho!

¡Muy chistoso / gracioso!

oh.. ok, thanks Mariana! "Muy chistoso" would work in a lot of situations for me. That's the first I've seen "chistoso". - Gillygaloo, Sep 18, 2011
¡Bien hecho! is what I would say. - jeezzle, Sep 18, 2011

Esto me mola but that's pretty slangy...

Have a look at this thread to get a sense of how it works:

molar

Esa esta buena, meaning in slang that's a good one pertaining to a phrase or a saying
