6 Killer Jokes That Make People Obsessed With You

Learn six joke styles that work in conversation: playing dumb, fake sincerity, exaggeration, self-deprecation, and others. Examples from comedians show how to land humor that makes people want to be around you.
Today you'll learn six easy ways to make people laugh and love being around you. The first is to play dumb. One way you can do this is to purposefully misunderstand something obvious. Do you know what this is? Okay, I. Yeah, you're supposed to. I haven't taken a lot of pregnancy tests in my day. In fact, like, almost none. I did pee on it, so don't look at the people. Do you have Covid or no? Like, what's the key here is to act so oblivious it would be impossible to miss that you're joking. You screen tested for Iron Man. Was that the original Iron man or is it one of the sequels that you screen tested for? I don't. I don't. I'm not aware of the ins and outs. I know that wonderful actor Robert Downey Jr. And I, we screen tested on the same day, and I'm still waiting to hear back. As you just saw, playing dumb is a great way to get a laugh. Anytime someone asks you about something that didn't go well, it can help transform a potentially awkward or negative conversation in. Into a playful one where you look confident and fun. Now, if all you do is play dumb in conversation, it will get stale fast. So you want to mix it in with some of the other jokes in this video for the next easy way to make people love being around you. Watch this clip of Dwayne Johnson answering the question, how tall is Kevin Hart? Okay, is this the legit answer because I know it, or is this. Do I with you on this? Which one? I think you should go for what you know. Well, I'll go for what I know. Legit answer. Legit. Legit. Legit. Because I know you're my best friend. Four foot two. That's. That's right. That's legit. Hey, that's an example of a sincerity fake out. You set expectations that you're going to say something sincere. Then you undercut those expectations for a laugh. Now, you don't want to do this all the time. It's important to be sincere when you want to connect with someone, but especially if the conversation is feeling a little boring. A sincerity fake out is a great way to make people laugh and create a more fun vibe. Here's one more example, this time with Ryan Reynolds answering a question about how he got involved with aviation. Gin. Eleven years ago, I remember reading a Deadpool comic and feeling like this is a once in a lifetime connection. And then a few years later, I met my wife and I was like, oh, I guess a once in A lifetime connection can happen twice. And then we had our children. And that's when I realized that I love gin. You just saw a great way to set yourself up to make people laugh. The three point list. Set your joke up by listing off two genuine things and then make the third thing you say an obvious joke. You can use this joke in almost any small talk conversation, specifically when someone asks you something like why you like your job or what you do for fun. In this next clip, Nikki Glaser uses this joke when describing what makes her inner beauty. I can't trust that someone's gonna, like, see my inner beauty in line at cvs. If I have no makeup on, they're not gonna, like, sense that I'm a good friend or like, I'm funny or I do anal. They're not gonna know any of my best traits just by. This joke gets a laugh because it plays with people's expectations. You deliberately lead them one way and then surprise them with an unexpected twist. I want guys to feel good about because you can have a good relationship with a guy with a micro. There's obviously ways around it. You have toys, you have your hands. You can cheat on him. Like, there's things that you. No, you deserve love like anyone else and I would be with you. Once you've established a playful vibe like this, there's another easy way you can make people laugh. Exaggerate so much, it's impossible to take you seriously. For an example of what this looks like, listen to Theo Vaughn and Joe Rogan talk about the time Theo went four days without food. How much weight did you lose? I probably lost about £4. Pounds. I needed too much, you know, but I got clear, man. I could. And I could hear, swear to God, y' all could hear somebody fold a piece of bread from 80ft away, bro. I was so hungry, dude. I could hear a skittle hit the cement across the street. Almost anytime you want to get a laugh, you can just describe something using over the top exaggeration. For another example, listen to Tim Dillon talk about the Ellen workplace controversy. You're allowed to be. You're allowed to be nasty to people. You're accomplished, you're comedian, you did the whole thing. What you're not allowed to do is have a Guantanamo Bay situation in the backstage of your show where everybody's walking around afraid for their life and it's like Abu Ghraib where they're hooked up to wires. This is especially powerful if you're being negative in general. No one likes to listen to Someone complain. But if you use over the top exaggeration, you can make it fun for the people around you. For example, listen to Ryan Reynolds discussing working with a child actor for the first time. Yeah, you know, I was nervous. I mean, you know, when you're working with a child actor, first thing you think is, I wonder, to take my life with fire. Right. But you know, there's that. Now let's talk about arguably the most charismatic joke you can make. A joke that elevates the other person. I get a sense that your fan bases are quite competitive with each other. No, really, who do you think's winning? I lead his fan base. I'm the, I'm the founding member of that one too. They're calling for a low key movie. It's very. We are. Oh, we are. Most people do the opposite of this. They combine humor with a tease that puts the other person down. Like this. I would marry him so hard and quickly. You don't marry someone hard. I don't. I would marry him all night long. I would marry him to his score. No, you don't marry. That's not. Don't. What? You said it. Playful teasing can absolutely make people laugh. But if this is your only form of humor, it can leave the person wondering if you actually like them. On the flip side, if all you do is tell jokes that elevate other people, you run the risk of seeming like a suck up. It's when you mix complimentary jokes in with other styles of humor that people will really like being around you. If you aren't sure exactly how to make jokes that elevate other people, start with your trusty new habit of over the top exaggerations. What about you, Chris? Are you an app guy? No. Really? You don't need them. Your life is Tinder. Your life's Tinder. You just walk down the street, women walk towards you and you just swipe right if you want them and you swipe left if you don't. On the flip side, when making jokes about yourself, a great way to make people laugh is self deprecating humor. Most people do the opposite of this. They tease other people and try to make themselves look good. This can work, but you run the risk of hurting people's feelings and looking like a tryhard. Ironically, when you poke fun at yourself, you can make yourself look extremely likable and confident. Here's an example of this done well with Hugh Jackman talking about his dad. No matter anything I've ever done, acting wise, he says exactly the same thing. Hugh Wonderful work, Van Helsing. It just really. Van Helsing got terrible reviews, and Hugh's willingness to joke about it gets everyone around him laughing. If you worry that this will make you look bad, start by teasing yourself for things you aren't actually insecure about. That way, if other people double down on your joke, it won't hurt your feelings. That said, this is just a guideline, and once you're comfortable with these jokes, you can joke about whatever you want. Let's be honest, it was a difficult part. A guy who gets high, takes his shirt off and doesn't get on with his wife. It's a big stretch. It's a big. Most people are scared to make jokes like this because they want to look perfect so that people will like them. But people don't judge you for having imperfections. They judge you on how you perceive your imperfections. By joking about them, you show that you're confident, being seen as you are. Now, one good general habit. When you're making a joke at your own expense, smile. This lets other people know it's okay to laugh. For example, watch Bill Burr tell Joe Rogan a story where he has to apologize to his wife for an angry outburst. I put my head to the side of her head and I just go, I'm sorry. I don't want to tell you. You married a f up. You blew it. You're not good at reading people at the end of the day. For teasing yourself or teasing others, it all comes down to your intention and where you're coming from. If you're insecure and teasing yourself because you're in a race to do it before other people do, that will come through. If you're insecure and teasing other people to try to bring them down, that comes through, too. When you're teasing yourself or someone else purely to have fun, not trying to play a weird social hierarchy game, then you can naturally flow between the two. People will sense your intention is simply to create a fun conversation. Do you want to trade blazers? Maybe. Maybe. Yours look nice. Yeah, no, mine's more valuable. No problem. Actually, maybe not. No, no, no. Definitely not. There you go. Now, making people laugh is obviously just one part of a conversation. Whether you're looking for a new mentor, more friends, or more dates, there's a lot more to forming a connection with someone than what we've covered here. You have to be able to confidently start a conversation, hook them in the first few minutes so that they want to learn more about you, and then build a strong enough connection that they genuinely want to see you again.
