Five Real Tips

Learn the Art of Timing
Comedy is all about when you say something just as much as what you say. Pause before the punchline and let the silence build anticipation. Think of it like seasoning—too much or too fast ruins the flavor.
Try this joke:
“I told my wife she should embrace her mistakes… She hugged me.”

Play With Wordplay
Puns and double meanings are simple ways to sneak humor into everyday conversation. Start by picking common phrases and twisting them.
Try this pun:
“I’m reading a book on anti-gravity. It’s impossible to put down.”

Keep It Relatable
People laugh hardest when they recognize themselves in the joke. Use everyday frustrations, family dynamics, or awkward moments—if you’ve experienced it, someone else has too.
Try this line:
“I finally cleaned out my fridge. Now I just open it to feel superior for 5 seconds.”

Exaggerate for Effect
Take something small and blow it up—hyperbole makes things funnier by being absurd but believable.
Example joke:
“I wasn’t that hungry… I just made a 3-course meal with snacks between the courses.”

Be the Butt of the Joke (Sometimes)
Self-deprecating humor is a great way to disarm people and make you more relatable. Just don’t overdo it—aim for “silly,” not “sad.”
Try this one:
“I’m not saying I’m bad at directions, but if I ever go missing, please check behind the building I just walked out of.”
