There are 2 kinds of people: the ones that are naturally funny and those who make a fucking science out of it

See, my problem is that I laugh before I even get the joke out of my mouth!

Im going to be honest, the best way to be funny is to become more intelligent.

I feel that sarcasm is a form of intelligent and witty humor, kind of like teasing

I'm always the first one to laugh my ass off when trying to tell a joke I just recalled

"where are you from" "Corona" bro it isn't funny anymore

"people who like sarcasm looove sarcasm" uhuh... uhuh.. seems legit

So... There are some dangerous combinations of humors. One time I was in a very fancy party, than i mixed sarcasm and roleplay, pretending to hit on a girl with a very cheesy opener, i thought she would get that i was kidding, but she take it seriously! For the rest of the night i was treated as a douchebag! I guess my delivery was bad. (Or the world isn't ready for the awesomeness of my jokes)

I seen that Corona joke and almost forgot this was made 5yrs ago.

i love roleplaying! especially with leather.

As usual...outstanding content . What I've personally experienced is that when I TRY to be funny I fail miserably. But when I don't try and just act like myself I am genuinely funny. Even though it's not all the time, the laughs that I get are genuine! I used to feel so obligated to make jokes around people and be funny but now i have that "idgaf" attitude and it feels much better lol.

How to be funny: Tell the kids in your basement to laugh.

I TOOK A PILL IN IMPROVEMENT

"I used to be a banker but I lost interest" got me laughing hard...

*The biggest rule:* Comedy is borne from misery.

i remember when I was funny, now I am too introverted to say almost anything and get it funny or interesting

1:40 aged like milk

How did you make this? This is brilliant. This in a book somewhere? No way you just sat down and analyzed comedy, boiling it down this succinctly and articulately. Solid, solid video.

You forgot all about dark humor

Some guy I found on the street gave me an "improvement pill" ...I'm in the hospital now

If you want to take the teasing humour a bit further, you can break it into two basic categories, 1. Teasing that's funny because it's true 2. Teasing that's funny because it's not true The first category is the one where you do have to be very careful, and usually it's only going to work when your making fun of something really innocuous, that doesn't have any self-image invested in it for a given individual. The second one would usually be combined with exaggeration, for example, like calling someone retarded when they do something embarrassing, but very common, like stumbling, or spilling a glass of drink.

teasing doesnt work anymore everyone is offended in 2016

1:45 now corona talk of the year. Cannot skip days without reading or seeing this word

Ever had that somebody was trying to tell a story but cant hold it and starts to laugh uncontrollably in the middle and it just catches on and you laugh even though he didnt even get to the funny part yet?

How did the banker quit his money addiction? He went into *Withdrawl*

WTF is this channel?! It's like connecting and collecting all the psychological and mental thoughts that's been going on in my mind individually into a freaking well presented video. Fuckin Chapeau Man... Subscribed with an honour.

I love how you include details to everything. It keeps me on track throughout and it's just so much easier than videos that "assume" I know exactly what they're talking about. Loved it, cheers!

Sarcasm, dark humor, puns. Most hate this combination or even condemn it, but some really love it - including me.

"Are you gonna wipe me down before we hold hands" this line made me laugh 😂

Awesome breakdown, i'm surprised it takes this long for someone to tackle this subject in a coherent way

I've watched like four of your videos so far and I have to say I've learnt so much in such little time. Your approach and content is put in a very easy to understand way ! Thanks a lot man! Keep Going!

I usually like to combine certain types of humour that fit together well. For example, I love mixing exaggerations and misdirections into the stories I tell. It catches people off guard and is usually really absurd, so they start laughing. Even if it's just the "I'm laughing because I'm surprised and not because it was the best joke ever", usually when more than one person laughs, that surprised laughter turns into genuine one...since the others are laughing too and laughing is contagious (or so they say). I also like mixing teasing and sarcasm (or better, teasing someone sarcastically)...though from my experience, that is a really risky thing to do...especially if people don't get sarcasm and/or get easily offended. You REALLY have to know the target before making jokes like that. And what I have found to be very effective, is when you say absurd and riddiculous things with a completely straight face, as if you're dead serious about it. Not even a smile or anything. Those usually go well with roleplaying or misdirections. However, it is important to show that you're not actually serious, which can be difficult and depends on your body language. You don't want to come off as a creep, after all. Another thing that works quite well is if someone else says something and you just stare at them with a blank expression for a few moments, before countering with a joke on your own (be it a pun, a sarcastic remark etc.). That kind of pause is unusual for conversations, so people will be surprised and oftentimes, you will get their attention due to your lack of reaction. Again, this is kinda hard to pull off without looking like a socially awkward weirdo...but if you can pull it off effectively, you'll get a lot of laughs from people. And lastly...self-referential humour, jokes you make about yourself. Here, the important thing is to not actually mean what you say or else you sound depressed. It also shouldn't be anything too harsh, maybe joke about your weight or (lack of) skills. That's one thing I love doing and people usually react positively to it (For example, when people want to take a picture of me, I'll be like "I wouldn't, if I were you! I'm so fat, your camera lens will break if you do that!" while STILL getting ready to be photographed) To be fair, I'm no professional comedian, these are just things that I've noticed in people around me. If you want to try those out, do so with caution xDDD

1:22 Video 2016 a) Where are you from? b) Corona Anyone thinking about covid-19?

These are great, but something important I think you’re missing is to stay updated with the culture. You don’t need to go crazy, but see what’s new with popular celebrities or popular trends. This’ll make it easier to come up with funny ideas and a better chance that your audience will catch your humor

My sense of humor is very esoteric. As in nobody ever gets my jokes.

i should have discovered your channel long ago. I love your content and the delivery is a great to listen to while I'm walking to work.

That Corona one hit different in 2020

Brevity is also a powerful component of many jokes. If you can communicate the same thing with less words, it makes it more clear to others and has a better chance of landing. This may be why great writers generally have a knack for humor.

I've never liked teasing or sarcasm. I can catch it more than I used to as a kid, but I can't appreciate it the way I like straightforward telling-it-like-it-is sort of humor. Things are funny to me when there's some truth in it - especially when I've had the same experience.

We not gonna talk about how this legend made this whole video? This is killer bro, taught me so much

Really good explanation man !

Fantastic, I studied multiple comedians last year, but this was more info in 7min and 48 sec than a bunch of other options, I have taken notes and I'm excited to learn more about the chemistry of laughing.

Dear Channel admins, exceptional video again from your team. I've read many books from the Manosphere and not one book told me HOW to be funny with solid advice packed like this. Many thanks!!

The zoom out summary at the end was amazing

That was one of the best videos Ive seen all year!

That was extremely helpful thank you

I was glad to see sarcasm and puns in here because that's most of what I use lmao. Glad I found friends who appreciate it

I love this video because it gives simple explanation and examples to give you an idea of what it is. Thanks!

That was an amazing video

4:04: "People who like puns, love pun" "Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes."

Wow half way through I had to pause it, like it, subscribe, and just comment on how amazing this is haha keep up the work seriously!

A long time ago I read a newspaper article to list what are the engines of humor. I memorized it and after a time internaliset. This is a great visual learing refresher of the principles, even larger then what I already know. And so far I am know by friend for my kind of humor. Great stuff you are doing.

1:43 The beer is insignificant now.

IMPROVEMENT PILLLLLLLLL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) Here's a thought: I usually laugh at my own jokes so that people will get comfortable at laughing at them. The energy I'm producing with my laugh, make the people around me laugh too. I'm not sure Rule number 1 is absolute. Just a thought i want to share.

Can we just get on this dude's perfect penmanship 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I'm jelly lol

ANOTHA ONE! gj man. Way to keep yourself motivated and keep producing great content. Thanks!

Very helpful! I can actually use these techniques. Thank you so much!

I truly believe we need someone to write examples under different categories of conversation in the case of humor like you did with this video. We all get the damn principles and general idea it's the shit people say sometimes that makes us silence or have no idea what they said so we need someone to teach us examples and meanings of that so we know when to apply it. Most of my success with conversation comes in part of learning the principles but it's mainly knowing the details of certain things to say, knowing the meaning of it and when to apply that shit in real time that makes conversation flow like a bitch.

The audio seems perfectly fine. GREAT video on humour, IP.

"... But people who like puns...? They looove puns" It makes sense.. 😂

Man all your videos are awesome, I think you should've told the rules before everything else but I still love it, keep it up :)

Just found out about your channel. Tempted to watch every single video. Great content delivered in a beautiful manner. Respect, Matt

This video paved the way for a evolution in my skill of humor, I am immensely grateful to the author of this video

legit the best video. It has all the information resumed in a basic and easy to get explanations

I look forward to more great content :)

*Sarcasm, and randomness is my shit :P* *For me, the joke itself does not have to be funny, it's the delivery that gets me. If someone knows how to deliver their shit i will laugh hysterically. Also one thing is "relatable" humor, if people can relate to what you are saying, then they are more likely to laugh.*

Your videos are great, but I'd love to see you upload a lot more frequently. Huge fan

sarcasm is uncontrollable. you can't stop doing it even if you want to

your voice is great bro keep it up...

I introduced the "no puns policy" in the kitchen to my sister by making a pun out of it. I combined pun and sarcasm and it was funny.

YASSSS, been waiting for this one!

Finally a new channel that deserves subscribers!

"What's your name?" "Corona" "Woah you are famous!"

First of all THANK YOU for all the things I've learned from this channel. Mate, can you make a video on storytelling ??

Great video. I am writing a script and this really helped me find the direction I need to go. Thanks. Best day & Best wishes to you & yours.

great channel man you're excelling!

Memes, you forgot memes

You forgot dry humor!! 😕

This actually really interesting, great video as always

So anyone thinks this video is useless? Yeah, me neither.

thank u for helping me out you just added another day to my life

Thank you so much! This really helped me!

Good idea to watch stand up comedians

I'm funny but my storytelling is trash

This video is so cool,thank you for showing me the funny tips.

Great stuff dude, just found your channel but I can definitely say I'm gonna be here for a while.

I laugh at literally anything and everything xD even my dad and brother say the same thing. I went to a funeral and started laughing when I saw my friend xD I felt soooo bad but I just love laughing hehe

Whenever I try to be funny I just take a handful of pills and hope that what I'm doing is working

Why does humor just come naturally to me? Everytime someone says something that can induce a joke, one comes to mind. I often just find myself making people laugh without much effort.

You are great improvement pill!!!

Pun = laugh at your joke instantly even if you're the only one

* me it 2020* him: " where are you from?" "Corona" *me confused af* ▪~▪

The pill is bringing improvement to my life.

Oooo I like the one about growing a beard waiting for you. I will use this. I too have facial hair.

i love this channel

i love your videos can you please make a video on developing healthy relationships?

wow.. this video was so eye opening!! thanks a lot :)

I love all forms of humour, and am naturally EXTREMELY sarcastic.
