Today you'll learn 6 easy ways to make people laugh and love being around you.

Adverbs of manner

One way you can do this is to purposefully misunderstand something obvious.

The key here is to act so oblivious it would be impossible to miss that you're joking.

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 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 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.

You just saw a great way to set yourself up to make people laugh.

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.

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.

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.

Almost any time 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.

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.

Now let's talk about arguably the most charismatic joke you can make, a joke that elevates the other person.

They combine humor with a tease that puts the other person down, like this.

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're on 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.

On the flip side, when making jokes about yourself, a great way to make people laugh is self-deprecating humor.

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 try-hard.

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.

Ben 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.

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.

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 and people will sense your intention is simply to create a fun conversation.

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.
