How can I become funny?

pros don't need fucking cuecards
the real pros, the guys from standup, they learn how to work a crowd. that's showmanship.
a lot of comedy is knowing how to tell a story and keep people interested

Everyone around me thinks I'm hilarious, but I don't think I'm even a little funny.
I think it's all about delivery.

See the world for the joke it really is.
It is something inside some people not everyone can be funny.

t. roastie

user's joke both answers the question why men rape and highlights the immense expectations a women requires in such a condensed fashion. Not only is it unexpected, which is the reason why punchlines are so effective, it also references the thought pattern of the average rapist. If you can't understand the joke, I don't blame you, since it's obvious you're a woman.

The thought pattern of the average rapist huh? Youre a genius.

A big part of being funny is timing. You have to learn that comedic timing so you go for jokes at the moment people are more prone to laughing.

the easiest way is to just comment on stuff in a decently comedic way, I do the most minimal shit that way and my group finds me funny

Do you mean socially at parties, or professionally?

You two probably arent funny, hence the projection

Hehe. Good one.

Don't say that again, though.

By not actively trying to be funny.

>By not actively trying to be funny.
this kinda. people who try too hard to be funny are never funny. they constantly try to think of the perfect thing to say and have bad timing. or they don't have confidence in the joke being funny and consequently half-ass its delivery. sometimes you just need to say what's on your mind instead of holding back. secondly, a big part of humor is just honesty and observational skills. being able to say what another person isn't willing to say, saying what's on another person's mind, observing the environment and simply making remarks on things going on. think of a show like Seinfeld - sometimes the characters on the show aren't even trying to be funny. they just say whatever they're thinking, and that's funny.

That's not funny you fucking idiot

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Wtf

Haha, I'm in a bomb disposal unit, and I do this all the time at work.

"Oh, don't mess up!" "I think it's the green wire!"

They don't have a very good sense of humor.

Humour usually happens from the unexpected. Most people figure this out in their tweens without realising they've figured it out. The result is "le ebin randum xD" humour, which evolves into stupid and cringey edgy humour over the course of a couple years.
Not sure what you could do with this information. Just know that if your punchline is expected, it probably won't be funny. However, the blurred line is when the situation calls for a certain joke to be made. In that case, no one will find the joke funny but will laugh anyway or at least acknowledge it because social reasons. Knowing when these occur is all up to practice. Which brings me to my second answer.

Practice. You kind of pick up on what's humourous and what isn't the more you're exposed to social situations. If you have to resort to it, watch stand-up comedians and use their jokes when relevant. Don't ever make a joke that isn't relevant unless the conversation is specifically about sharing random jokes.

The receiver of the joke is important too. Some people react to different jokes differently depending on personality. I remember retelling some Mitch Hedberg stuff to some of my friends with great success and then getting disgusted looks from other friends later with the same jokes.

I shouldn't have to tell you that sometimes context is important too. Don't try to make light of someone's death at their funeral, for example.

Also try to remember funny stories that happened to you. This will keep your humour from just being shit you've heard elsewhere.

Finally, delivery is important. Not sure how to explain it. Also takes practice.

tl;dr: Difficult to explain what it takes to be funny. Practice and observe others instead. Context matters. Don't feel bad if no one laughs, it happens to everyone.

Get an IQ of 130.

You don't really have to say anything funny, you can just say anything with a comedic undertone and the rest is body language, say, Tim and Eric sort of comedy.

Most importantly: be confident, if you bail or are awkward about your joke or whatever then people will pick up on it and they won't laugh, but if you own it then people will admire your confidence and laugh with you

If she already likes you, she'll laugh at any stupid thing you say.

>immense expectations a women requires
>having sex with someone you actually like is an immense expectation
This is why we still need feminism

He cute

How do you get that job?

My employer met my wife.

the best comedians are very smart. I'm not joking. they connect things others don't always see and compare and contrast.

be serious abut the silly, be silly about the serious.

t. comedian doing 100 shows a year.

Not OP but I've always been told I'm really funny, I use it mostly as a defense mechanism when I'm around people I don't know so I would be good in front of crowds.

How does one become a comedian? where do I start and how?

I think being funny is 80% about audience, 20% about your ability to mold yourself to that audience, like for example you actively search funny shit if you want to listen to funny shit.
I'm not considered funny, I'm the 2srs guy in my main group of friends but at work I'm absolutely hilarious because all my coworkers eat the shit that none of my other acquaintances would, same with other groups I'm with.
A comedian is able to mold himself around the group they're in and create comedy according to that group. A normal person, even if they're not funny, can still be funny around certain people. I'm 100% sure I can't say the same jokes with my sister's friends (hardcore church goers) as with my biker friends who drink liters of beer a day and appreciate a fine dick joke.

>Step 1
Make observations and take note of irony
>Step 2
Find your voice. Just because you like a certain comedy style doesn't mean it fits you. Try different styles, see what works and gets you laughs
>Step 3
Be self deprecating but relatable.
>Step 4
Practice without looking like you are practicing. Nothing is less funny than the desperately begging people to like you and being a dancing monkey
>step 5
Listen to comedy to get an idea of flow and timing
>Finally
Get used to recovering after a joke falls flat. It will happen a bit so learn to roll with it. Don't hate yourself if you aren't seen as funny in a certain situation

Bonus: in IRL keep in mind people have weak stomachs and hard limits. Shock is funny alone on the internet, IRL only certain people like that stuff. Pic related

get a solid 20 minutes from busting your ass in open mic nights until you can land a gig. keep working. keep writing.

Whymin aer faaann6y xd to22

Look at a bunch of memes (browse popular funny subreddits), and watch/read a lot of comedies. Try to memorize a bunch of jokes and try to study why those comedies are funny. Once you do this being funny should come more naturally to you.

God damn you made me laugh like an idiot
