If you haven’t thought you're amusing enough to make your friends laugh, then this is the right tutorial for you and your friends,as it teaches you various ways that will make you improve those skills. Illustrating why is it that we find things funny (from a smart scientists point of view), is one of the first things to achieve. Everytime when we discover something new, our mind creates a new route, between one neuron and the other.
This path is what we call the synapse and it works, for example, like this: Suppose we think about food, and remember that the bananas are food, the brain will estabilish a synapse (that gets harder), connecting the neurons that save all the data we have on food, and the ones with the given fruit. So, every time you think of food, you will have apples popping out in your mind as well. You're probably thinking, what does that have to do with me getting funnier? But, it's pretty much all about it, it's actually the way humor works.
It all starts with someone telling you a short, common story. Stand-up comedians call this a setup. You're now expected to have a certain, pre-defined, opinion on the story you recently heard. And then, your brain makes paths from the given setup to a punch-line that you see as the most logical one. But that person will not tell the same punch-line, but something completely different, and then you will laugh. If you have not understood this, don’t worry, just read example below.
The Setup: What is the most satisfying thing next to being shot at and missed? The Punch-line: An income tax refund.
How did you feel after hearing the setup? I am positive you thought the car was being driven by one of the three. It's normal to think that way, as that is just the way our brain was made to work. And as I already said, the punch-line you read was indeed very different. Be sure to remember this, as this is the main principle of humor.
A good setup is of great importance. The best comedians will always tell you the setup in a way that will leave you with many possible punch-lines to think of. The more you think your punch-line is the most fitting one, the more will the actually punch-line make you laugh. In case you have already heard the joke, it will probably not be as funny, simply because your brain knows the punch-line, therefore it won't create any new routes.
This should be handy if you want to think of new funny jokes. When a man tells something that everyone thinks about in the same way, but you find out a different way to understand it. Now, if you tell this to others, it should be funny.
