Priming: How To Think Of Charming Jokes In Seconds

[@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.

[@rayelle6579]

I like how your brain works cuz I thinkin stuff like this all the time! Like why do we laugh at all?! (It’s partially social but we also do it when we’re alone.) I love it!

[@zaydzulqurnain594]

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.

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.

He is good at trained network television humor. Most of the hosts of those shows are actually laughing in relief because he is playing along and they don't have to work with realistic, unscripted answers. 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.

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 :)

[@matthewharrison3265]

To be fair, I'm an introvert and often loud. I learned a long time ago that there is vulnerability in being a wallflower. Being loud and dominating the conversation and general mood of a space affords the power to control the actors in that space. So, as an introvert, I can do more to proactively control my (emotional) distance by being dominant rather than quietly hoping only social interactions that I find comfortable occur.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

[@lambert2215]

I wanted to invest more on Digital currency (Crypto) but the fluctuations in Crypto value discouraged me into dumping.

[@paulsam568]

It's surprising that people are so scared and discouraged by the sudden drop in value. Most Crypto traders and investors are less knowledgeable about the dynamic of Cryptocurrency. it's a time to buy dip and connect with good traders that knows the In and outs of wall street wizardry. I'm much covered and secured about the market thanks to EXPERT Mrs Pamela Kay Weaver . ✅

wow I'm shocked you guys mentioned and recommended Expert Mrs Pamela Kay Weaver . I thought people don't know her....she is really awesome

Mrs Pamela is obviously the best broker. I invested $3000 with her and made a profit of $35,000 within 14 days trading with her . it was mind-blowing.

[@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!

[@chuckfrench608]

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.

[@TodAG69]

Tried the priming method by watching a comedian I find funny. Andrew Dice Clay was a bad choice before a job interview. Oh!

Pretty sure only Ryan Reynolds can get away with telling a joke about kidnapping a young girl in this day and age. If I was half as charismatic, funny, charming and good looking as him I'd be pretty happy.

I cannot wait to someone asks me how old my girls are now. I can give a serious face and I’m gonna give it to them with a slight shaking of my head followed by an I have no idea. Thank you as it fits perfect with my style

[@chrizsterk]

Either that one, or if I personally was asked about my children's age (I have three)...I think I would answer with a serious and natural expression, that my oldest is around 21 years old, the one in the middle is about 17 to 19, and the youngest is 14...that I'm sure of, cause she called me this morning saying that her birthday was yesterday and she hadn't got any happy birthday wishes from me since I had forgotten the whole thing..... Then after finishing this with a thoughtful look on my face and not focusing my eyes on that other person...then really do an all-in stare right in the other person's eyes still keeping that serious look...just enjoy the moment and in excitement wait for the response from most likely a startled and confused listener. And then finish it with a smile and telling them their exact age of course :) The way that a good parent is supposed to do ;)
