4 Killer Jokes To Make People Love Being Around You

[@vanhalenps4]

Anyone else think it's incredible how we can hear a series of words and instantly comprehend it and within less than a second produce an emotion and express it, completely out of our control, with zero thought? A whole book could be written on just what happens when we hear a joke and laugh.

Also, I was thinking about this recently: Look at the rest of this message, but don't read it. Just observe the words without comprehending their meaning. You can't do it can you? It's crazy how we were born unable to read but now we can't not read. Theoretically, if you did anything enough times, it would become literal second nature and you would have no control over it.

During one job interview I was asked if I had ever been convicted of a felony. I replied, 'nothing that ever stood up on appeal.' I started laughing, then she started laughing.

You nailed it! I'm a lead singer in a punk rock group and I often crack my audience up with funny little stories about my wife and kid in between songs. Later though, at home I'm pretty much in the doghouse all the time, getting the cold shoulder from my wife. My daughter also seems untrusting and I find her often looking at me with suspicious eyes when we are together in car rides and she thinks I'm watching the road. Oh well, too bad they don't accept my affable personality the same way my loyal fans do. I'm not gonna change who I am because of a few close family members who don't get me.

Those are definitely the types of answers they want because he keeps things in the outer bubble of his true opinions, which the TV hosts prefer as well.

It's funny how that I do most of these things already. I have Asperger's, which I found out as an adult (oh the joy of realizing why I was a "strange" kid), and having such I was always in an awkward position in communicating with my peers. I quickly learned that humor and sarcasm made people like me and I felt less awkward. Often times I made myself the brunt of the joke, which made people laugh harder. I was asked one time, "You know they're laughing 'at' you and not 'with' you, right?" I replied, "No, they are laughing with me. I introduced the joke, I set it up and delivered it. I know it was about me, but it made everyone laugh which was my main goal. So, you see, they are laughing with me and not at me." Great video, thanks.

One tip that I find particularly useful is remembering key words, phrases or aspect from the other person's story, and then adding it in at the right time when they are talking creating a funny fake end to their story. This not only creates a funny moment, but also reinforces that you have paid attention to them, making you even more likable!

every adult is still a child inside, if your showing childish frivolity and your adult customers feel comfortable and like it, they will start doing it as well.

[@alexejfrohlich5869]

real-life example a few weeks back: i talk via teams to a group of ppl who are our clients. we are talking about a bill volume of 6 or even 7 digits for the project that THEY will spend with us (we will do the job). I am the guy who is going through all the requirements with them... checking if everything is thought out, make suggestions on how to achieve X and Y etc. now, my headset is somewhat broke, has a loose wire and so sometimes the mic drops... so it happend again, they already knew abou it and were just like "oh alex, your mic again..." -- so i clap the mic a few times until the sound is back and then i am like "ah damn, i really need a new headset... alexa! order me a new headset [i wait deliberatly 2 secs] ... i just realized, i don't have alexa" ... group is having a good time... back to topic of 7 digits volume. it is way not the only joke i brought up, i even made some jokes regarding their CEOs and so (would be too long to elaborate) -- we are really on good terms, i like them, i've been told in other, higher-up meetings, me and a colleague of mine who is working on this aswell are reported there as a pleasure to work with. i must say, of course there is also competence in the field, after all they are not there to be entertained but to get a multi-country online store up and will have to perform at least at the current level... but i'd say that they appreciate being entertained at the same time ;) i don't know if you really need that advice, so i'll write it down just for the general audience: emotions help with learning. that's why frontal teaching is so ineffective (it is pretty boring to listen to somebody and just inhale the knowledge). however, you can make sure that ppl keep the important parts when you make them connect emotionally to what you are saying, so that they have this additional reference. so put something important around a funny story for example that make ppl laugh and later, instead of refering to the topic directly, just refer to something from the joke and voila, ppl also remember the actual topic behind it -- just be sure not to make the whole meeting a laughing stock, in that case you are just entertaining, not teaching :)

[@fikatrouvaille3670]

Whoaaa this is full of things that I do subconsciously and it's interesting to see it all laid out! I'm pretty good at making people laugh, but the priming idea was new! Something I'd add: it's a good idea to pay attention to how the person who's talking to reacts to different jokes, and especially how they tell their own jokes. If someone is very chill and uses dry, dark humor, get on that level. If someone is high energy and tells long, exaggerated stories, share your own crazy tales. Etc.

If you go back to the days of the old Studios in Hollywood it was all about personality and not necessarily great acting chops. That is, stars were built out of their own personalities and they developed great acting abilities based on themselves. So the biggest stars became brands, using aspects of their core personalities. You can get great performances from actors with range but most are a familiar brand. We accept different James Bond actors only if they play him as themselves and can make Bond believeable. Movie stars always play to their own brand.

This could really be due to the specific of two groups mixing. If you are with your group of friends, people knowing your sense of humour, you do not need to put heavy signals while being sarcastic, while if you are with new people it is necessary to signal sarcasm more clearly. At the same time, on the receiving end, if you are new in a group you tend to make less assumption and you will be looking more carefully for potential sarcasm. However, this was a peculiar situation: Bob, You, and Jake. Both Bob and Jake feels they are majority: Bob and You, that's 2 over 3. You and Jake, that's also 2 over 3. Improvising an ASCII Venn's diagram (1[1)1]. Bob is used to the fact you know his sense of humour, and he does not feel he has to put strong signals. Jake knows your sense of humour, and he is not expecting the new guy not to follow what he perceives as the "group routines". It's very easy to have misunderstandings in those (1[1)1] situations.

Timing is VERY important. I grew up in a household where you had to be quick on your feet when it came to witticisms, one liners and come-backs. I was very good at it. Now I have a brain wasting disease and even though I still can think of a great zinger it's like I'm perpetually on a 2 second delay! Hubby picks on me and says, "That's the come-back from something I said ten minutes ago". It is great comedy fodder.

I love your channel! I know you guys already did a video on Aubrey Plaza but could you guys do an in-depth analysis on her and how she is hilarious but is able to keep her mystery at the same time unlike other funny celebrities like Cardi B or Jennifer Lawrence who are also likeable but they aren't mysterious. The fact that more people know Aubrey Plaza from her interviews than the actual film work she's done is definitely proof her charisma trait is something worth diving into !!

All jokes are at someone else's expense. However, notice how much of Ryan Reynold's jokes are self-deprecating. No one else is the butt of a lot of his jokes and he comes off as being nice because he is not insulting someone else or a group of people. It is also very humbling.

[@michaeldwiggins8578]

My problem isn't with making jokes or getting people to laugh, it's after that when it's time to get closer and changing an acquaintance to a friend. I really feel comfortable being a joker and performing, but I'm not really sure how to go from that to being personal.

When ever I do this and make people laugh, its by pure accident and I never know how to repeat it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@nylasorj]

Same here. I'm usually quiet in a group of people and just observe what's going on and being said. Then I'll interject what I think is a cute or mildly amusing comment and everybody laughs their heads off. I'm actually kind of shocked when that happens. I thought about doing stand-up comedy, but I can't write "funny"; I guess I'm only funny spontaneously. 😕

[@restonsunday]

@@nylasorj I love it when people are spontaneously funny

[@HopeUnquenchable]

This. Exactly. If I ever *try* to be funny, it falls flat, but once in a blue moon I will say something in all seriousness and the entire room laughs uproariously, leaving me dazed and wondering what was so funny 🤷🏻‍♀️ Then again, I’m also that person who when watching movies with others, gets strange looks because they don’t laugh when everyone else does; they laugh when something strikes them as funny, even though it doesn’t strike anyone else that way 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@restonsunday]

@@HopeUnquenchable I wish I could make a room laugh on purpose. I think many of us do.

[@johnrutledge3892]

The greatest thing about the way this is is the way that it explains how when you go to the extreme of explaining the proliferation of how this type of situation is understandably . So if that doesn't mean that from the beginning of the conversation there wasn't as much of the same type of situation as it already wasn't to begin with.

[@sleepinggorilla]

Odd that I am very good talking on the phone, humble too. I treat the customers the way I want to be treated. Professional, no BS, and I don’t let them go until we have an answer. In real life people talk over me constantly and never remember anything I say. I have to repeat the same story 5-10 times before they remember it. People kept wanting to take me to eat Chinese food after I told them over and over and over that I hate the stuff.

[@djtdawg87]

Hey guys can y'all please, please do a video on James Spader's character of Raymond “Red” Reddington from The Blacklist, i mean not only is he a total badass but he's also super smart and confident and doesn't care what others think of him at all, he would be great to do a video on i think.

[@cheenewah]

AGREED!!!

[@denawagner360]

I have a hard time separating him from his roles in the John Hughes era. He was protrayed as a spineless slime ball, the original trustafarian who just blindly protected his social status. Know it's fictional, not who he was/is, but it defined him for a long time. Guess I should give him the B.O.D. & really watch Blacklist. That many seasons must mean something.

[@sarahmclin2434]

Would love that!

[@ian9toes]

I think it’s worth noting that all of these jokes were most likely thought of beforehand and quite possibly he rehearsed them in his mind or used them before. We can all develop a repertoire of go to canned humour. One I’ve used many times is when someone is training another on the cash register, I like saying something like is he/she your apprentice… how are they coming along. Speaking as if the trainee isn’t even in the room, it has never failed to get a smile out of both of them. It defuses the situation where they may think their customer could be getting impatient. Please do share your own go to jokes.

Was there a comedic pause before the punchline?

[@coffeync]

I find that 1-2 beverages into a social gathering , my wit engages without fear of judgement. My spiritual gift of sarcasm weaves in & around others during conversation. So much fun to see others shake with laughter when they're involved with the set-up. Have to keep reined in enough to make it fun, nonthreatening, and a wee bit self-deprecating. It can be a bit tricky during church socials since I'm protestant. I find a fake Irish accent helps when you're reading Job aloud. An Irish brogue "Gird up your loins like a man." is humor gold to we women.
