What's up, bro? In this video, I'm

0:01

literally going to show you how you can

0:04

become funny, how you can start becoming

0:06

funny, how to be funny, even if you've

0:09

never been funny your whole life. And

0:11

let me tell you something. I attest to

0:14

this the most because

0:16

I have literally been called a person

0:19

who is not funny, cannot make jokes,

0:23

someone who is not fun to be around,

0:25

especially middle school, high school.

0:26

And this was a problem even within the

0:29

past year and two to three years ago.

0:33

Now, I've always been called a chill

0:36

guy, but one of my biggest problems and

0:39

something that I've always struggled

0:40

with and I've always envied was people

0:44

who could just easily make jokes. Like,

0:46

if there's something that we know that

0:48

is like really good to have and like a

0:51

really good trait to have, it's the

0:53

ability to have humor. And it's the

0:56

ability to make people laugh. I mean,

0:58

we've seen it and we we've really seen

1:00

stereotypes from like movies and high

1:02

schools where it's just like the funny

1:03

guy, the class clown, the jester, right?

1:06

He always gets all the validation. He

1:09

always gets the most people wanting to

1:10

be with him and people want to be like

1:12

him. But my problem was

1:16

I had no idea how to do this. You know,

1:18

I would try to make jokes. I would try

1:20

to watch, you know, YouTube videos. I

1:22

would try to see like tricks and tips

1:24

and tricks on how to become funny. But

1:26

no matter what I did,

1:28

nothing seemed to work. And you know, I

1:31

tried everything. But it wasn't until

1:32

recently until I experienced probably

1:35

one of the best social lives that I've

1:37

had in university

1:39

until I realized that I think I found

1:41

something that no one is really talking

1:44

about. And this is coming from someone

1:45

who's done tons of things, you know,

1:47

tons of research on how to be more

1:49

funny. And I'm going to show you how

1:51

this has changed my life and how I use

1:53

it to literally improve my humor and how

1:55

I got rid of my dry personality and how

1:58

I actually have had an easier time

2:00

making jokes. Not the most funny and

2:02

guy, charismatic guy, but it's getting

2:04

somewhat better. And so here's the

2:07

thing. Here is the main reason on why

2:11

humor is such a problem for you. Humor

2:14

is such a problem for you because you do

2:17

not know what personally makes you

2:20

laugh. You personally do not know what

2:22

makes you laugh, what makes you what

2:24

makes you have a good time, what types

2:26

of jokes, what types of humor. Now, that

2:28

make that might sound a little weird,

2:30

right? You're like, "What what am I

2:31

going with this?" Right? But hear me

2:32

out. This is where I got this idea. So,

2:35

this year, I have probably had one of

2:37

the most social lives I've ever had. So

2:41

in a university with 80,000 people, I

2:45

live in a house with three other guys.

2:47

And then within my university, you know,

2:49

I have classes. I've talked to a bunch

2:51

of people there. I'm also in

2:52

organizations as well. And so something

2:54

that I really struggle with, I noticed

2:57

that I could have conversations. I could

2:59

ask questions. I wasn't an awkward guy

3:02

when it came to like humor, making

3:04

people laugh, service level

3:06

conversation, right? I noticed I would

3:09

completely struggle with that. And so

3:11

one of my roommates that I live with,

3:13

you know, he's like Mr. He's like Mr. or

3:16

he's like super charismatic. He's like

3:18

always telling me to make jokes. And I

3:20

was like, you know what, bro? What's

3:22

your advice on how to make jokes? And so

3:24

he was telling me this. He was like,

3:26

"Well, first of all, what makes you

3:29

laugh? What do you find funny?" And then

3:32

he when he asked me that, I was just

3:33

like, "I honestly don't know. I honestly

3:37

don't know what jokes make me laugh. I

3:40

don't know what type of videos that I

3:41

find funny. And then my charismatic

3:44

groom, he's like, "That's the problem."

3:46

And he basically tells me that what he

3:48

does and which he uses to like get a

3:50

bunch of like social charisma and social

3:52

validation. He says that the key is to

3:58

find out what type of humor

4:01

makes you laugh,

4:03

what type of humor works for you, and

4:05

then you take that humor and then you

4:08

use it in conversation. Now, when I

4:10

heard this, I'm just, wait, no, that's

4:12

not going to work. I'm just like, what

4:13

do you mean by this? Right? But he was

4:15

like, I don't make up all these jokes

4:18

just for my own memory. He's like, "I

4:20

take what I find funny and then I use it

4:23

in conversation." And then he proceeds

4:25

to tell me that making jokes and humor,

4:29

it's a form of self-confidence.

4:31

Because basically what he does and

4:34

basically how he finds humor is that you

4:37

take what you find funny from a video or

4:39

a joke somewhere. You say it in the

4:41

situation and then you're basically

4:43

expressing, "Oh, hey, this is what I

4:45

find funny. I find this joke funny. I

4:47

find this phrase funny." and I'm going

4:49

to share it with you and hopefully we

4:50

can connect over that. And when he told

4:53

me this, my mind was just like

4:56

flabbergasted like I'm just like, "Oh my

4:57

goodness." Right? And so from that day,

4:59

I started figuring out humor. Okay? And

5:03

so here's the first step on what you can

5:04

do. The first step on how you can prove

5:07

your humor is literally go on Tik Tok,

5:09

go on YouTube, look up um comedy shows,

5:13

look up funny streamers, funny um funny

5:17

bits, funny phrases that you can do. And

5:19

the reason why you want to do this,

5:20

right, you're going to find out what

5:22

humor works for you. So maybe for you

5:24

it's funny phrases just like me, right?

5:26

Maybe for you it's uh maybe it's standup

5:29

comedy. Maybe it's some of the jokes or

5:30

words that they use. for me especially

5:32

that I've used right is voices. I find

5:36

that voices actually make me laugh like

5:39

impersonations. And so literally this is

5:42

how my story relates to this. I recently

5:46

found that voices when I do voice

5:48

impersonations it makes me laugh but it

5:50

also makes other people laugh. Like I

5:52

was doing this like I remember this one

5:54

time I was doing this Donald Trump

5:56

impersonation and it's basically you

5:58

know I mock Donald Trump where it's like

6:00

oh we're going to take Greenland we're

6:02

going to take Greenland extract all

6:04

their oil and resources and the prince

6:06

of peace you know something like that

6:08

some cringy thing like that it's a lot

6:10

funnier and honestly that was a lot

6:12

funnier in my head doing that but I do

6:14

it sometimes and I noticed that when I

6:16

do it people laugh people are like you

6:19

should do that voice more and Because of

6:22

this, the reason why I'm telling you

6:23

this is because I'm literally taking an

6:25

example of something that I find funny,

6:29

something that I laugh at and I use it

6:31

in conversation. Now, here's another

6:33

thing. In general, saying jokes and

6:36

making humor, you're going to win some,

6:38

you're going to lose some. Not every

6:39

joke you're going to make someone laugh.

6:41

So, if you use a joke and it's not

6:43

funny, it's okay. It's it's basically a

6:45

uh oh, what's it called? It's an exper

6:48

it's a numbers game. you know, you keep

6:49

making those jokes, but if they don't

6:50

laugh, don't use it again. You just keep

6:52

using more. And so, you basically,

6:54

right, you want to take what you find

6:56

funny, uh, from maybe bits or phrases,

6:59

um, comedic shows, you know, phrases

7:01

that they say in TV shows, and you want

7:03

to use it in conversation. I also really

7:06

like phrases and little witty bits.

7:08

There's a there's an art of like witty

7:10

banter. And so, an example of this is,

7:13

right, let's say someone is kind of

7:14

like, let's say someone is telling you

7:16

no, right? Someone's like, "Oh, I don't

7:18

want to go I don't want to go on a date

7:19

with you. Oh, I don't want to hang out

7:20

with you." You can be like, "Yeah, yeah,

7:23

yeah. Right, right, right. Cool, cool,

7:24

cool." I think the right answer is,

7:27

"Yes, yes, JJ, I do want to hang out

7:29

with you. Yes, I do go I do want to go

7:31

on a date with you." So, if you can use

7:33

Woody Banner, that's going to be amazing

7:35

as well. Second tip that you can do as

7:37

well that has really helped me is

7:39

realizing that your environment sorry

7:42

your environment plays the biggest

7:45

factor the biggest role in your humor.

7:47

So as I'm in university with 80,000

7:51

students right I talk to lots of people

7:54

and within my inner social group I hear

7:57

a lot about the charismatic people and

7:59

like the funny people that I that I've

8:00

seen and I've met. And so I was talking

8:03

to some friends and I noticed that I

8:06

asked them, "What is your family like?

8:09

Is your family also funny?" And [snorts]

8:12

all of the funny people that I asked,

8:13

all of the careers, the charismatic

8:15

people that I asked, they always said,

8:18

"Oh yes, my family is 100%." You know,

8:21

they're jokesters. They always try to

8:22

have a good time. They're always trying

8:23

to make the situation lively and happy.

8:27

And then I looked at my family

8:29

situation. I looked at my environment

8:32

and personally, you know, I love my

8:33

family, but my family isn't really like

8:35

that. My family's a little more quiet.

8:36

There's not a lot of jokes going on.

8:38

There's not a lot of family. And so, I'm

8:39

just like, this is probably why I didn't

8:42

grow up with that humor because these

8:44

charismatic people, these funny people,

8:46

they see things through the lens,

8:48

through the environment of a comedic,

8:51

charismatic, social environment. Well,

8:54

I'm not. And this made total sense. And

8:56

so my tip for you and the reason why I'm

8:59

telling you this is because in order to

9:00

pick up on these things, in order to

9:02

start making jokes in humor, what you

9:05

need to do is get into the environment

9:07

of where jokes and charismatic banter

9:10

are always used, where humor is used.

9:12

Now, you might be like, "Oh, but you

9:14

know, I'm not part of any clubs. You

9:16

know, my friends, they don't make bunch

9:17

of jokes." Maybe you might not have any

9:18

friends, right? The easiest thing you

9:21

can do, take a couple hours on Tik Tok,

9:24

YouTube, Netflix, comedic shows, dating

9:27

shows, you know, find a bunch of humor.

9:29

Go on comedy reels on Tik Tok and like

9:31

watch a bunch of those every single day.

9:33

And first of all, you're scrolling,

9:35

which is lazy. But first of but second

9:37

of all, you're actually getting value

9:39

from this because you're seeing

9:41

everything from a humor perspective.

9:43

You're seeing it through the lens of

9:45

comedy. So do those two things. Find

9:48

what humor works for you. what find what

9:50

you find funny and then be in that

9:52

environment. Consume that every single

9:53

day. Like, share, subscribe, and I'll

9:55

see you in the next one.
