wouldn't be a dream to make someone
laugh instantly do you believe that some
people are funny and some people are not
and you're one of those that are just
not funny you're too uptight you're too
serious people tell you all the time you
have no sense of humor
my friend a sense of humor is a skill
and like any skill it can be developed
if you're willing to put in the work you
want to put in the work because humor
has been shown to reduce social anxiety
it eases stress and ladies love a sense
of humor in this video we'll discuss 10
tips and techniques how to make someone
laugh instantly and we are jumping in
right now
number one be funny for the right
reasons I believe you should be funny to
make people feel good to make them smile
to connect with them not to win their
approval and I believe that people can
sense when you're trying to win their
approval make that shift to making them
feel good making them smile and I
believe that they will see it and the
humor will start coming to you
number two use self-deprecating jokes
when you're able to poke fun at yourself
you become more likeable I use this all
the time I haven't done so well with the
ladies throughout the years I have a
baby face and I'm not the greatest
athlete let me show you an example of
how it worked for me on stage here's my
mr. B the basketball coach took notice
this guy really liked chewing his spearmint gum. hey
Michael you're pretty tall she's drawing
the king laughter nothing basketball
free cool what does that tribe you
should have been folks I'll put on a
show a comedy show go for air bones
Michael yeah turns out we don't
give this a try when you stop taking
yourself so seriously you'll start
getting some serious laughs number three
use exaggeration this is when you take
something truthful and you blow it way
out of proportion that it becomes
comical here are three examples here's
the first example
you do spend longer in the bathroom when
you have your phone but an hour number
two let's say I'm meeting with a friend
I'm 10 minutes late I call him up and I
apologize you could say I literally grew
this beard waiting for you here's a
third example recently I asked a
respected friend to give me feedback on
my YouTube videos to make them better
he's such a great friend here's a list
of improvements he gave me number 3 use
the rule of three it takes three parts
to establish a pattern and what you're
doing here is the first two parts are
going to not be funny and then third one
is going to be absurd and ridiculous and
that's where you get the laugh here are
two examples here's the first example
motivational speaker Tony Robbins has
stated that we have one primary question
that dominates our thoughts what the
Theresa probably asks how can I serve
the sick louis c.k probably asks how can
I be funnier I ask how can I be a better
belly answer here's the second example
are you trying too hard to get people to
like you by having a high income an
attractive appearance wearing deodorant
number four use puns puns are defined as
a joke exploiting the different possible
meanings of a word or the fact that
there are words that sound alike but
have different meanings here are some
examples
you're so appealing babe I'm going
bananas over you don't you care at all
for me and my personal favorite and I've
literally have told this to a hundred
people who is the smartest Pig in the
world
Albert Einstein I do want to caution you
with using puns because most people find
them annoying but according to my
calculations 27 percent of people find
puns exceptional number five use double
entendres very similar to the pun but
the double entendre is the play on the
phrase the first is the literal meaning
and the second is the figurative meaning
often ironic or risque here are two
examples I can't imagine any middle
school-aged boy walking past this thing
without saying that's what she said if
you don't know what that's what she said
means it's probably best that you just
keep it that way moving on to the next
example
here's the next example watch how I'm
able to use the connection between being
good at math and getting a girl's phone
number I got it no the first time I've
ever got cash I got enough
remember you will not meet your good
number six know your audience your
material is not going to be for everyone
for example what that's what she said
if you go to a middle school you're
going to be a king but if you tell the
joke to your grandma not so much I've
made this mistake for example I am
really into puns and a couple months
back I told this girl I like the Albert
Einstein pun and she didn't seem to be
that into it but I still gave her a wink
gave her my phone number and told her to
call me I'm still waiting for a call
no your audience number seven have a
one-liner for when you're bombing I
remember a couple months back I was in
front of about fifty people I was making
a joke about my dream of being a male
belly dancer to be the next male Shakira
nothing not even a smile from the
audience then I said note to self don't
tell that joke again then I got roaring
laughter from the audience another one
you could try is that was intended for
silent laughter this tip has been
tremendously helpful for me imagine how
much confidence you'll have knowing that
if you were to bomb you have awesome
one-liners to get you back on track
find your one-liners and start using
them if you're bombing number eight
spend time with funny people think about
this quote from motivational speaker Jim
Rome you are the average of the five
people you spend the most time with if
you're wanting to be funny
the question to ask is what type of
clowns are you hanging out with ones
like these or ones like these oh this is
going to haunt my dreams I hope it
doesn't do this for you moving on number
nine capture your content I think of a
quote from Wayne Dyer when you change
the way you look at things the things
you look at change
when you start looking at the world and
asking what's funny about this you will
start seeing funny things the only
issues that we forget stuff that's why
you need to capture your content don't
worry if it's good right now you have
the opportunity to perform and refine it
but you have to capture the content
whether it's through writing using an
app on your phone voice recording
whatever you have to do capture your
content number 10
trust yourself this picture is so true
you are your own worst enemy you are the
only you on this planet you have a
unique perspective and a unique sense of
humor that we all need there are so many
incredible comedians out there they all
have their different styles it's easy to
look at them and think who should I be
like don't do that
trust yourself there's a voice within
you that's hilarious
if you listen to it the only difference
between you and those top-notch
performers is the time they put in your
sense of humor is a skill and if you're
willing to put in the work and use these
10 tips you will get laughs very quickly
and start getting more and more as time
goes on the more you work at it I was so
excited to make this video because I
