There are 2 kinds of people: the ones that are naturally funny and those who make a fucking science out of it
Solaire of Astora and those who use both to be the funniest people you meet
Solaire of Astora So did you ever get that sun you were searching for?
Solaire of Astora yep
Solaire of Astora Well you have to learn humour aswell. Some do it early and bit by bit so it seems naturally.
Others need to catch up and need an explanation.
You can learn anything.
The ones you would call naturally funny, have been making people laugh for so long, that it seems though humor is natural to them. If you notice, babies start to learn things that make people around them laugh. You can even see them realizing this from the happy expressions they make.
Successful comedians have said time and again in interviews at how they had performed really bad sets in comedy clubs during the start of their career. So it's fair to say that humor is learned and perfected by comedians who understand what will make people laugh by really paying great attention to their reactions towards jokes.
See, my problem is that I laugh before I even get the joke out of my mouth!
aha its ok, old Norm Macdonald does that almost every time and I think he's my favourite comedian
Practice telling the joke why you are alone
Use 321 trick
hahaha thats a good one! LMAO
I KNOW RIGHT!?!??!
Im going to be honest, the best way to be funny is to become more intelligent.
Darin P
People who try to be funny usually fail, it's better if you're just born funny. Then you don't need videos.
Jean Claude Van Damme There we go, you cant teach funny
Jean Claude Van Damme That definitely has some truth in it, BUT I think that you can _improve_ funny. One small detail could change a lot - like not laughing before you've finished the joke/not being the first to laugh. It might be something you're completely unaware of and once you fix it it makes a big improvement.
Also, delivery _can_ be learnt. It's different with spontanious jokes, but if you happened to be tellong random jokes among your friends then you can definitely learn delivery.
essennagerry I agree with that.
Darin P lol I used to be funny now as I've grown i personly think im boring now
"where are you from"
"Corona"
bro it isn't funny anymore
anirudh malkoti broooo
Yeah, true
"I hate corona".
@@artemissrijan473 But Corona doesn't hate people. In fact Corona likes to stick to people. 😂😂😂
Ming Zheng LOL
I feel that sarcasm is a form of intelligent and witty humor, kind of like teasing
@Scooby Snack same
Mate, 90% of what I say is sarcasm and when I say something serious they laugh
Not a lot of people get that. Amd I'm not really sure why. I literally had to write in my bio(instagram) that if I write a comment it might be sarcasm so chill.
Like lucifer from supernatural
@@sumanmajumdar9922 Riiiight, because sarcasm is just soooo easy to detect via text...
I'm always the first one to laugh my ass off when trying to tell a joke I just recalled
:D Well, you're guaranteed one laugh then, Carlos ;) ;)
That’s honestly one of my friends right there
Honestly, me too, but I just can't contain myself.
I mostly laugh at my own jokes more than anyone else, sometimes combined.
I'm always the first one to notice the guy laughing first.
"people who like sarcasm looove sarcasm" uhuh... uhuh.. seems legit
People who likes pun LOVEE PUNS
Wrong
Pingu lmao
Yeah you need to be a genius to figure that out
I see what u did there lol
I seen that Corona joke and almost forgot this was made 5yrs ago.
7 years ago corona happened? I think it was in 2018, fck time passed faster
i love roleplaying! especially with leather.

Thanks. I tried a lot

Thanks. I tried a lot
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.
Tom Rieken ahh 👏 the gacy method
Tom Rieken lmaoo
Ok thanks
Ignore the guy above me it’s hilarious
My kids in the basement don’t laugh no matter how much food I give them. Also they are starting to stink. I’ve hosed them off and even though they hold perfectly still they still smell awful. Whats going on!?
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)
Yuri Alves than*
Yuri Alves Sometimes there is context. You have to notice whether people are laid back or easily triggered
I get what you said, but changing your facial expression spoils a little bit of the irony. I think it was something related with context as Techno -Trish said. People there was talking about politics and stuff, so I should have been more sensitive. It was the kind of dumb stuff I do when trying to blend in! xD
World is not ready for you my friend. May be you should try reincarnation when it's ready.
to me you're funny and i get it, or just didnt, its funny either way

I think dark humor takes on the same forms as these except the topic is something morbid
The internet is a sensitive place 🙃
"I used to be a banker but I lost interest" got me laughing hard...
😂
i remember when I was funny, now I am too introverted to say almost anything and get it funny or interesting
The Eyebro I know exacly how it feels. People used to say that I should become a comedian and now I can't even come up with anything.
Im losing myself
@@The_End. same did you ever figure out how to fix it
@@samstout8246 Not trying to hard. I've realized that I can't make everyone laugh everytime and it's more important for you to be comfortable with yourself. That way you'll find people with similar humor as you and you won't be afraid of how others will percieve you. But it's most likely not a one way solution to it. I personally find myself more funny when I'm in tune with myself
Hey eyebro wanna kill some extroverts?
teasing doesnt work anymore everyone is offended in 2016
MMoH X 2017*
ItsFuZe thanks
DID YOU JUST CALL ME OFFENDED? DID YOU JUST GENERALIZE???
MMoH X I'm offended by this comment
what a white male...
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.
Yes and after boiling you serve hot
How did you think a person who wrote a book on this would get that information
Haha! Sarcasm is funny! I learned that today.
How did the banker quit his money addiction?
He went into

Protagnis YT OMG IM DYING HAHA LMAOOOO HELP ME 😂😂💀
Although ironically withdrawing money gets you more cash in your hand xDD
Hahahahahahahahahahaha😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
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.

Video 2016
a) Where are you from?
b) Corona
Anyone thinking about covid-19?
I watched this before and that "Corona" word means different back then. Now COVID-19 changed how I feel about it.
No
I think we should start a new calendar. The years are measured in BC and AC. BC means Before Corona and AC means After Corona xD
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!
"Are you gonna wipe me down before we hold hands" this line made me laugh 😂
My sense of humor is very esoteric. As in nobody ever gets my jokes.
Tell me a joke

waterblonk that probably just means you’re not funny

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

In 2021 also
In the dead people aswell :/
1:40 this dudes words hit 2020
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!
You certainly know how to make your point, and quickly.
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.
You forgot dry humor!! 😕
Eli TheAsian my kind of humor
Eli TheAsian It's not really a type of humor. It just adds to the other types.
I prefer revelations 2
joseph quezada have yet to play it. Already bought it but didn't find the time yet :p
It's different and not as "resident evil" vibe as 1 but it's more fun and memorable with more horror. It's awesome actually if you ask me.
We not gonna talk about how this legend made this whole video? This is killer bro, taught me so much
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
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.
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!!
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.
That was one of the best videos Ive seen all year!
The zoom out summary at the end was amazing
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
"... But people who like puns...? They looove puns" It makes sense.. 😂
Really good explanation man !
I love this video because it gives simple explanation and examples to give you an idea of what it is. Thanks!
legit the best video. It has all the information resumed in a basic and easy to get explanations
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.
Gotta catch em all!
That was extremely helpful thank you
ANOTHA ONE! gj man. Way to keep yourself motivated and keep producing great content. Thanks!

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

1:43 The beer is insignificant now.
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.
Your videos are great, but I'd love to see you upload a lot more frequently. Huge fan
The pill is bringing improvement to my life.
Memes, you forgot memes
Yea he did😂
Vine references are the garnish
Memes suck
Memes encompass all these types. You just display it differently
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 :)
I wanna be funny but this is hard because I literally laugh for no reason. Lol
sarcasm is uncontrollable. you can't stop doing it even if you want to
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.
Whenever I try to be funny I just take a handful of pills and hope that what I'm doing is working
Are they improvement pills? Bro?
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.
This video is so cool,thank you for showing me the funny tips.
I introduced the "no puns policy" in the kitchen to my sister by making a pun out of it.

Frankly I don't understand why and think that everybody should watch this video. It's just disecting the topic so well. I will do everything to share this video and your channel.
