The lazy humor trick that works even if you “aren’t funny”
207 segments
So, bro, in this video, I'm going to
tell you the easiest and the laziest
trick to be instantly funny in any
conversation,
even if you're not funny. Now, the
reason why I found out about this is
because throughout my entire life, I've
always struggled with making people
laugh in conversation. And let me tell
you something, I I remember when I was
in middle school and high school, I was
improving my social skills. I was
getting better at talking to people, but
no matter what I did, I could not be as
charismatic as the people who were
instantly funny and made everybody laugh
in conversation. And I remember I tried
uh doing research online, seeing how to
make people laugh and how to be more
humorous, but for some reason, I could
just not make people laugh. I would say
a bunch of random out-of- pocket things.
People found that stupid. I remember
people would instantly instantly
straight up tell me, "Okay, bro. We got
to work on your sense of humor a little
more." And
because of this, I stopped. I was like,
"You know what? I'm just going to say
this chill guy, you know, I'm just going
to be that nonchalant guy who's cool to
talk to, but not necessarily funny." But
something inside of me always told me
and always wanted to make more jokes,
to make people actually like laugh and
like actually want to be around me. And
because of this, I didn't really touch
on this topic. I never really did any
experimentation until I realized and
found out about a trick that I found out
recently that has changed the game for
me. Like literally friends have
literally told me to do this more
because it's funny. People have
literally told me, "Oh, you should do
this more because we're laughing every
single time you do it." And this thing I
don't see on the internet whatsoever.
And this thing that I'm talking about,
which is the easiest way to make people
laugh, is literally doing voice
impressions. Now, you might be confused.
You might not know what a voice
impression is, but I'm going to tell you
this. This is you need to add this right
now to your life. So, most people know
what a voice impression is, but a voice
impression is when you literally copy
and mimic somebody's voice or somebody's
accent. Now, I'm going to tell you
exactly step by step how to do this, but
I'm going to tell you my story and how
this changed the game for me. So, a
couple months ago, I started watching
this politics podcast. The host name is
Kyle Kolinsky, and you know, I'm into
politics. He gives me my daily news, but
this guy, he's also charismatic as well.
And so, every single time he talks about
politics, he always does a Trump voice
impression. So, here's basically his
voice impression, right? When he talks
about Trump, right? He's like, "We're
going to take Greenland. We're going to
take Greenland, extract all of their oil
and resources." And so, every single
time that he did that, it would be
funny. And I remember this podcast, I
would also talk about with other people.
And I remember I started copying this
voice impression of Trump. And the
people that I would talk to about, they
started laughing. They're just like,
"Yeah, bro. his his his voice
impersonation is so funny. And so I was
like, wait, if this is so funny, I'm
just copying Donald Trump's voice, why
don't I do it with other people? And so
I remember this one time I have a friend
of mine who talks really low. His voice
is really deep. And so I was talking to
him and then I was mentioning this
friend with a deep voice to another
friend. And because of that, I started
imitating the deep guy's voice. You
know, I started talking to somebody else
and I was just like, "Oh, did you talk
to Jack?" He's always just like, "Oh,
bro, I don't know. I didn't do my
homework whatsoever." And as soon as I
did that voice impression of my friend
with a deep voice, the friend that I was
talking to, he started instantly
laughing. He was like, "Bro, you need
you should do more voices. It's funny."
And so I realized, dude, it's simply
just voice impressions. And because of
this, I've been doing the Trump one
more.
And I started doing that to friends and
they're just like, "Dude, you should do
that more. It's so funny." And so, the
reason why I'm telling you this is
because the reason why I believe this is
funny is because you are simply doing a
voice impression of somebody, which is
impressive, right? But second off, it's
unpredictable.
The voice impression that you're going
to do isn't going to be expected by the
other person. And so if you simply just
copy people who have really distinct
voices like Trump, maybe you have a
friend with a high pitch voice, maybe
you have a friend with the low pitch
voice. You can simply just copy those
and reference them in conversation. Now,
here's the thing. There are a couple
rules to this. There's a way to do this
right and there's a way to do this
wrong. So, I'm going to tell you exactly
step by step what to do. So,
the number one first thing when doing
voice impressions is you need to put
yourself into that other person's
character. You need to be into character
when you're doing a voice impression of
somebody else. So, for the Donald Trump
one, right, if I'm trying to imitate his
voice, you can't be half and half. You
can't have one foot in and then one foot
out. Both feet need to be inside of that
character. So, you can't be like, "We're
going to take Greenland. We're gonna
take Greenland and we're gonna extract
their oil and resources. You need to
have the facial expressions. You need to
go all in. That's what's going to make
it funny. You need to be like, "We're
going to take Greenland. We're going to
take Greenland. Extract all of their oil
resources." Now, here's the thing. Humor
is very trial and error. There might be
a chance that the person might not
laugh, but very highly they will laugh
because it's unexpected. Okay? So, you
need to have yourself into character.
Second tip when doing this, you cannot
do this all the time. You want to
sprinkle a little bit here and a little
bit there. If you do it too often,
people are going to get very annoyed by
this, okay? It's going to be watered
down. So, you want to do this only when
your conversation is constantly
referencing a specific person, a
specific a specific accent, you know.
So, that's something to also keep in
mind. And the third thing as well is
that you need to look for
certain people to uh do voice
impressions and you can practice as
well. If you can practice your voice
impressions,
that is going to make a key difference
and you're going to be known as the guy
who can imitate any single voice. So
like for example, my friend that had a
deep voice, you know, I can instantly
just do a deep voice like this, right?
My voice is already deep. So that's
something that I don't really need to
practice, right? So, I feel like you
could do any voice. You could do any
high or low voice impression, right? But
when it comes to certain people like
Donald Trump, I I don't even feel like
my Donald Trump voice impression is that
good, right? But I've been practicing a
little bit. But if you can practice this
even more that is going to be such a
game changer for you. So, this trick
works so much is because you don't have
to think about this grand thing to do
this. You don't have to come up with a
classic oneliner. You don't have to
think about anything outside the box.
You are literally just copying and
pasting
something that already exists and an
unexpected moment. So, this has changed
the game for me. Check this out. Copy,
practice voice impressions of
celebrities accents. It's going to
change the game for you. Like, share,
