What kind of funny are you? | Dave & Andrew Tarvin | TEDxGreenhouse Road

[@cathykuntz4098]

Yeah Guys! I have been using humor to get better results for years thanks to Andrew's first TEDEX talk. I love how he and Dave have expanded to add more detail to the humor picture.

8:22 "Tell someone a joke, they laugh for a moment. Teach someone how to joke, they can laugh for a lifetime."

[@drewtarvin]

Hey, I know one of them (it's me). Thanks for watching the talk! 🙌If you have questions, ask away. And let me know which persona you think you are! I'm an engineer.

[@KESARSHARMA-bd2ek]

Me as well😅

[@LuisMedina-wo3dh]

I thought this was the lie for Wednesday's class but my Prof actually did a TEDx talk

[@hollychessman251]

Fun talk and makes you think. I am definitely like your mom. My kids can always pick out my laugh when they perform in plays. 😂 But I also like to create my own humor - off the cuff remarks, dry comments, puns, humorous writing. My husband and kids like to create humor too. Friends who visit for dinner often end up doubled over in laughter. Makes for a fun time!

[@siennaprice1351]

I would say my humor is a mix between dry humor, and just pure silliness. I find myself randomly laughing about silly thoughts or silly memories or silly what-if scenarios. I also love to joke around with people in a sarcastic way. Or I joke around with people as a way to challenge them. For example, if there’s a talent show about to happen, I’ll say, “I’m not performing this year though unfortunately.” I’m trying to really say, “you know I’m going to be showing off my talent.” But I’m doing it in a way to challenge them.

[@phunte3680]

That's a good sense of humour you have there 😂👌 I'd say my humour is a mix between ridiculous & ridiculously ridiculous

[@added021502]

Love it! Thank God for your mom for having you.

[@faithellis2010]

You guys are soooo funny! Thank you 🎉🎉😂🎉😂

[@DanielleLevy-b4e]

Fantastic talk... insightful, fun, and lifted my day!

[@AnonymouslyForgotten]

You could probably lock me in a room with them for weeks and I’d never guess they were brothers🤣

[@CaraBrookins]

This is fun and funnily helpful. I've learned so much about humor from you, Andrew! (And now from Dave, too.)

[@Trilce-s2q]

Love this talk! Can you be a mix of 2? 🤔I think I am an inventor because I like to pull pranks on people. For example, I made my students in college believe I was one of them on the first day of class. Their reactions were priceless, and they got me back so good 3 months later when I read my evaluations rating me as "the worst French class they had ever taken", I taught Spanish. I also think I am a curator because I HAVE to share funny things with others.

[@drewtarvin]

You absolutely can be a mix of 2 and that's what we encourage. You can learn how to use all of them effectively, which it sounds like you're already doing :)

[@KatieNallPhD]

Great talk! Love the differences of funny!

[@lisayeager2170]

Just adding to your fandom. Nice work you guys. Keep it up.

[@omarnomadables4070]

This is amazing!!!

[@teddesmaisons]

Thanks for Sharing this talk. I particularly enjoyed the way the two of you demonstrate different approaches and styles. How crazy is it that you both ended up working in the humor field?!

[@marykaymorrison1891]

Love the seriously funny humor from these brothers! Such fun to watch! 🥰

[@jeff_civillico]

Fantastic talk... insightful and hilarious! I'm a big Drew Tarvin fan :) His other talk, "The Skill of Humor" is worth watching too. I think it's up to 14 million views?? It's really great!

[@TheTerribleHusband]

I like mixing humor styles. I like taking those things that have made me laugh in the past and mix them with what I'm experiencing now. I also like to write down funny one-liners I hear people say. I've found some really good gems that inspire my creative process later on.

[@brianbrino4310]

Smart and very entertaining! Thank you!😂

[@coryjenks7952]

That was fun! I could watch this talk EVERLONG 😉

[@IAmTahazzot]

Could someone kindly help me understand myself better? I enjoy math, learning different languages, coding, and traveling. I also enjoy hanging out, cycling, occasionally singing with friends, and meeting new people, no social problem at all. So, I'm curious-would you say I'm more of an extrovert, a nerd, or an introvert?"

[@askcesar]

OMG so good!!

[@fromPENtoPLATFORM]

Nicely illustrated! I can see why THIS is an Editor's Pick. Very Resourceful.

[@cesarvidelac]

I'm like Leslie Nielsen, deadly serious but very absurd.

[@drewtarvin]

Surely you can't be serious...

[@কারুকুঞ্জ]

My first comment.. Thank you all..hope I will speak fluently

[@childoftheuniverse7318]

Is it possible be all of them at different times.

[@Samimhossain-p2s]

Thank you... Very good... Collaboration of them is legendary. Very necessary ted talk.

[@mwansa430]

My kind of funny is not on the list . What am I?😭💀

[@indigomontoya1970]

I can tell memorized jokes and tell my own. I like pizza jokes. It's all about the delivery. Some say they are cheesy some say they are tasteful.

[@greatboniwanker]

Me? Funny looking!

[@tomrausch9349]

well done brothers!

[@SusannaJ]

From the thumbnail I thought I was seeing Benaiah from LIB UK 😅

[@Elon_Trump]

whatever a 12 year old boy thinks is funny, I also will find funny

[@luisa.vazquezherrera8802]

3:30

[@mimosveta]

why insist that one is unscripted, if he's just going to be scripted? and for 10 minutes of talking about humor, not really funny...

[@RowanHawkins]

That was really fast. I was having flashbacks to Saturday Night Live with Hans and Franz who want to PUMP **clap** you up! But I also didn't think I learned anything that I'm going to remember long term. Completely defeats the point of TEDx.

[@PhantomKaratOfficial]

I did not like this talk, because ultimately funny people are funny, and they don't have to think about the different styles/approaches they are using, or could potentially adopt. And then on the flip side, unfunny people are not funny, and whilst they could occasionally say or do something that is funny, ultimately they will never be funny and they won't be receptive to jokes or funny situations. There is no amount of "studying" humour they can do that will make them so.

[@drewtarvin]

I fully believe that anyone can learn to be funnier. If you're "unfunny," you can learn basic joke structure or how to improve your delivery which will help things you say land. Plus I did learn how to be funny (at least to some people, not everyone).

[@PhantomKaratOfficial]

@@drewtarvin I disagree - I used to work with someone who did stand up on the side, and whilst undoubtably he understood joke structure, he was fundamentally not funny. It's not like learning a foreign language.

[@quiquedc]

I’m the 8, not funny AT ALL

[@d.r.tweedstweeddale9038]

Failed comedians attempting to attract an audience. Not funny & rather pathetic.

[@luigi6808]

Boring

[@Trevor_Green]

Oh fun. a TEDx all about a lame style of comedy. It reminds me of people that try far too hard to be funny.

[@indigomontoya1970]

Hey look at that hat... Uh i got nothing. Nice hat sir. It fits your head nicely. It's big ...It's velvet like a pimp would wear... I'm not saying you are one... My brother might assume that... Uh moving on
