Basically, being funny is about being likeable. Being likeable is about being honest, humble (but not scraping), generous, curious and fun. It's about seeing the absurdity of life in new and surprising ways but still having a fundamental hope underneath it all.

This was a "Zero phone-checks" video. So good!!

This is really great. Im an introvert and i unconciously doing this tricks just to stay out of trouble. Just laugh whenever someones joking, go with the flow add something witty when u think of something and enjoy the rest of the conversation. When the topic runs out transition to another. If conversations taking too long says youll go to the bathroom and leave. Create excuses for later hahaha

I have one that I've used frequently for at least a decade. Almost always gets a chuckle. This was a recent example: Them: "Who was that actress ... she was an elf in Lord of the Rings?" You: "Cate Blanchett?" Them: "That's the one!" You (deadpan): "Never heard of her."

This actually happened. I just finished completing a job for a body shop and needed a RO number for my invoice. I asked the service writer for it. He went to look it up and said, “I can’t even remember the guys name”. I said jokingly “ Lipshiitz?” And he responded without hesitation “no, but my butt whistles”. I laughed about that for days.

In my opinion forcing techniques is difficult, but there is one that is plain simple and natural which is being able to find humour in yourself. It is S Tier in making people laugh, and it doesn't feel forced!

Although I agree with these pointers for how to joke and how they land, the thing I think I am not hearing is "how do you do this in real time" cause honestly if you think about this too much or try to plan for these situations you will likely fail. The key is what your motivation is. If you go into a conversation with the intent of making people like you it will likely fail. Instead, go into every conversation with the intent on cracking a joke. Don't worry about if people like you just looking to crack a joke. If it doesn't land, then don't worry about it and try again (within reason of course). My 2 bits.

Practice makes perfect too, and you're totally right about making the focus the joke. I used to be a tourguide, and I also worked the ticket booth before the tours. I decided both as an ice breaker, and because I wanted to get better at wordplay, I would make puns of people's names. This might sound annoying, but people absolutely loved it, and i started a lot of conversation this way or got people laughing before we started my tour. It started out pretty difficult to come up with the puns, but after a week or two, someone would hand me their credit card and it would take me 2 seconds to think of something, and it also made other puns easier because suddenly my brain was on the lookout for that kind of wordplay. I feel like these actors get a lot of practice time in interviews, so their real-time whit gets a lot of exercise. Absurd humor like Ryan uses about calling his parents cannibals is the same way, it gets easier to think of jokes that his that right balance of absurdity and good humor when you do it often.

You answered your question on how to do it in real time, with your last sentence. You just gotta practice: the more you put your self out there and practice these techniques, the more effortless it will become until being charismatic is just who you are. Kinda like riding a bike, at first you have to think about every move and you will fail, bit you learn from failure and eventually you won't even have to think about it anymore, it just comes naturally.

Hi. The essence of humour is in taking people's minds in a different direction than they'd expect. Their laughter is like the air escaping from a balloon that has been popped. Cheers, P.R.

It’s funny to recognize how we already do some of these things, without consciously thinking. It occurs to me that I say “what could go wrong?” dismissively like the proposed plan/idea (maybe my own) is just…fine, and NOT filled with obvious risks or blowback

This video is spot on, great tips and observations

I guess my Brother and I "Trained each other" because we both do this constantly, whether it is conversation between us, or Us with others, or when we are 'on our own'... Complete mis-direction, or sometimes 'self-defecating', or twisting something up, or playing on the LITERAL meaning, or alternate meaning, rather than the INTENDED meaning. Even in the driest, most 'business type' situations, I was in "Sales" or Retail management, most of my career... and I did this with Customers to reduce the stress and feelings that I was trying to convince them to do something they were uncomfortable about.

This video is an inspiration to search for 'laughter in movie scenes'. It's cool to see all the laugh in different genre movies.

I use compliments with a very serious tone then turn the situation into a funny one, works every time. The idea is to create tension then relief

When I crack a joke and people start laughing, I usually say, "Oh, you think I'm joking?" And continue a little bit, and it has always got people cracking up even more. Just be sure for the joke to be so absured there's no chance you'd be possibly being serious.

Doubling down on someone else's joke is my forté! I've had more than one person I had just met tell someone I knew well "I'VE never been funnier than when I hang out with him!" Lol

Double down on someone else’s joke can easily go south, unless you’re really funny. Too many times, I say something that gets a laugh, and an unfunny person tries to add to the joke and it bombs, or they wear the joke out really fast. I only have two friends that will crack me up doubling down on my joke, but these guys are the kind that will have you in tears. most people can’t seem to pull it off.

A lot of this looks like it would work as long as you remember the principles. That Craig Ferguson joke though ("Her: That's a chick book!" Craig: "Oh you know, 'Know your enemy'."), just seems like pure on-the-spot wit 😂 That's just born from experience.

I just realized how much I I double down on other people's jokes or what they say, and most of them time it works

Tbh as a person that has developed my own unique sense of humor that has influenced much of the world the thought of this video being found in my internet history im worried the validity of authenticity towards my sense of human being crafted independantly mostly the lack of recognition for my brilliance frightens me if people were to assume watching this was at any means a part of enhancing my abilities rather than sight seeing into how my life and some of what ive done would be like in hearing a scientific+like retort of something gifted to me by god a long time ago before laughter existed. Tbh.

for doubling down on someone else's joke. it's not stealing the spotlight. more like taking your turn to share it.

OH YES I remember i always do the nr. 4 one Its like a thing i just do constantly lol

It said " All openings will be looked into" I took it the wrong way what a bummer..

It is also possible that the key to being witty is to know what the question is ahead of time and have a team of writers on hand to work up a response. This is the talk show formula.

"my fellows Obama's" JAHSHSHAHAHA that's jokes

Intonation, timing, eye expression etc. and to be in the right frame of mind are all fundamental to making others laugh. It's often something that can't be taught - some people just aren't funny. At all. My son as a 9yo used to love this one... "Why can't mum tell jokes timing". (No pause between "jokes" and "timing". Not expected from a 9yo and pretty funny. Good to give being funny a go though - the world needs more laughter!

The first step: Actually be funny.

Yoooo the first one is so simple yet so effective I gotta make that a habbit and part of my personailty

When I say “Hi, how are you doing today?”, they usually respond with “Good, how about you?” Their response is very polite, however; it may or may not be truthful. I have two different replies that always get a smile and sometimes a genuine chuckle or more. I either say “Well, I have to admit there’s always room for improvement” or “Oh, probably about medium”. I like being able to bring a bit of joy to others in the smallest ways.

Not exactly the same but I've got a great way to start a job interview : try to find something interesting on the way to the interview, if you don't see anything, use something from a recent time and pretend you just saw it (you can admit it later if you want). When you come in, especially if you're late (which you shouldn't be) start talking about this interesting thing at the first chance you get. Chances are the interviewer will at least want to hear you out for a few moments and at best let you talk for a couple of minutes. Now, you're much less nervous about talking, you feel some control, you seem a little interesting, you make THEM have to reconfigure and maybe they like you a little.
