What kind of person laughs at other people's shortcomings?

Being an interesting person is not to make you laugh at others or disrespect others.

The humor revealed in a really interesting person's words and deeds can drive the atmosphere and make people around him happy together. People with a sense of humor can not only see the bright side of life, but also bring happiness to others.

If you want to be a person with a sense of humor, read on.

Believe in your sense of humor.

Humor can be expressed in many ways, and everyone's sense of humor varies with their world outlook and personality.

Research shows that children learn to laugh when they are four months old, and they will express their "humor" from kindergarten. So trust your sense of humor-all you need is to express it!

Collect interesting materials

What makes you laugh is likely to make others laugh-even if they don't-you can't imagine pleasing people all over the world! Collect some funny materials, such as photos, TV series, books, movies, people and things, and write them down for later use.

Do interesting things and learn to enjoy them.

Read comic books, play with children and do stupid things from time to time.

You can also cultivate your sense of humor by enjoying these interesting activities.

Find "punch line"

If you want to be an interesting person, you must work hard.

When you hear an interesting thing, ask yourself, what's so interesting about it? "Why does the photo of our boss wearing baby clothes make me laugh? Why do aliens smoke in cowboy hats make people laugh? "

Learn to find jokes, and you can create other jokes based on them.

Learn the principle of "laughter"

Laughter is actually a subconscious behavior-we can hold back from laughing (sometimes it may not be successful), but it is much harder to force a smile.

Fortunately, laughter is very infectious (if others have already started laughing, you are 30 times more likely to laugh than others! ), so if one person starts laughing, others are likely to laugh too.

Three things that make us laugh the most: the sense of superiority over others, the difference between the actual result and the expected result, and the sudden relaxation under tension.

How does the gap between expectation and reality make people laugh? Routine is always staged day by day, and unconventional things will bring us surprises-it is such surprises that make us laugh.

Look at the example of comedian Jackie Mason.

He said, "my grandfather always said, don't patronize money, pay attention to your health!" "So I began to pay attention to my health-someone stole my money. This man is my grandfather! "

The interesting thing about this joke is that the final result is quite different from the original expectation. Traditionally, people think that grandfather is kind, friendly and harmless. However, here, my grandfather became an evil and cunning thief.

Different jokes will make different people laugh. Some people think sensational things are funny, while others think those sarcastic comments are funny.

Learn all kinds of jokes by classification and expand your "humor circle".

Not everyone knows what it's like to fly a helicopter, become a millionaire or raise a child, but most people know what it's like to crave money or love someone deeply. So try to make your jokes approachable and deeply rooted in people's hearts.

What makes it so interesting?

This is also the "surprise" or "cognitive bias" we mentioned before.

When the reality is different from the expectation, such a "difference" arises. Like magic, jokes also use this mechanism to mislead your thoughts and create humorous elements.

Generally speaking, this is based on mistakes in the cognitive process, confusing it with words and subverting the original personal prejudice. The above process occurs rapidly in an unconscious state. Once your brain processes this confusing information, you will understand what is funny about this joke.

For example, "What happens when a liar lies?" The answer is-"They are lying." To understand this joke, you need to think from both sides. Our brains will be temporarily confused-and amused-because we can't think of those unknown answers.

Jokes played in boring and serious places are often more interesting.

It is easier to make jokes in boring places than in interesting places-for example, in a comedy theater, your jokes may not look so funny.

This is also related to expectations.

In boring places, we don't have great expectations for humor; We went to the comedy to have a good laugh. Therefore, jokes told in the workplace are more likely to make people laugh than comedy theaters.

This is why many comedies are set in the office-the office is probably the most boring place in the world, right? We don't think the office is a fun place, so it is especially fun when it is fun.

Strike while the iron is hot.

The right time is very important.

If you are always worried about whether your jokes are funny, you will miss the right time. That's why sometimes a joke that used to be funny becomes not funny-because your brain has acquiesced that it is a joke, which weakens the sense of humor it brings.

So if you want to have a sense of humor, you must first react quickly.

Sometimes just one comment will make people laugh. When people are talking about topics that are not funny, you can comment a little to make those boring things sound interesting. Timing becomes very important here. You not only need to react quickly, but also need to participate.

For example, your friend inexplicably said, "Don't you think it's strange that we only have hair in other exposed places on our heads?" He didn't expect your answer, but you can take it and say, "You are talking about yourself!" " "

If you miss the chance, don't joke.

The biggest mistake of a humorous person is to keep joking after missing the opportunity.

Don't worry, as long as you use your head, there are still many opportunities.

Learn some other comedy theories.

We have said that the difference between expectation and fact can produce humorous effect, and it is easier to create humor and humorous opportunities in boring places. At the same time, there are other humorous knowledge is also essential:

Pay too much attention to wording

A lot of humor comes from speaking like a book.

This kind of speaking like a book is sometimes intentional and sometimes unintentional.

"Freudian slip of the tongue" refers to a person's careless slip of the tongue, and its content is mostly related to both sexes.

Word games are mostly intentional, such as "I haven't been to see a doctor for a long time, come to me if you are sick!" Or "If people say that they don't leave youth blank, I will discredit youth!" "

Know your audience.

Let's see what your audience likes.

When you are with a group of people you don't know, listen to what they are saying and laughing at first. Do they like listening to cross talk or watching sketches?

The more you know about a person, the easier it is to make him laugh.

Expand your knowledge background.

Expand your knowledge and master more joke materials.

It's relatively easy to tell jokes in your field-your works, poems you are familiar with in the17th century, or anecdotes about fishing grounds. Of course, no matter what the material is, we should also consider whether it is suitable for the taste of the audience.

No matter how familiar you are with poetry, you can't joke with people who know nothing about poetry!

Expand your horizons.

If you can find humor in classical physics and get inspiration from paris hilton, it means that you extend in all directions. Ingeniously combining two unrelated things will achieve unexpected results.

Learn to be smart

Humor also reflects your wisdom.

You can find a joke where others don't pay attention and prove your greatness. That's what comedians do. They find jokes in these seemingly ordinary places in the process of gorilla reproduction or the work of clergy, and relate them to our lives.

Keen observation

A wide range of knowledge can really enhance your sense of humor, and observation is also indispensable. Many people have extensive knowledge, but lack the ability to find humor.

Observe carefully, find humor in daily life and see things that others can't see.

Learn from interesting people and make progress.

You can learn a lot by talking to interesting people often.

Whether they are comedians, your parents, your children or your boss, dealing with interesting people in daily life is the key to making yourself interesting. Observe carefully what makes them so interesting and find out what you admire about them.

Even if you only collect a little from everyone you admire, you will make great progress. So try the following suggestions:

Get in touch with interesting people and get a little humor.

In a humorous environment, you will also be infected by humor. If your jokes are not very funny to your friends, you can try them with another group of people.

Watch TV plays and movies

There are many American and English dramas that are very funny. English cold humor is closely related to its culture, while American jokes are very common. By watching TV plays and movies, you can not only enhance your sense of humor, but also learn about the cultures of other countries.

Watch an impromptu performance

A good comedian improvises.

You can go to a comedy and learn how those actors improvise-you will be very happy, and you can also learn how they turn those unknown elements into laughter.

Read as much as you want.

Chemists become chemists because they study chemistry hard. Sports journalists are sports journalists because they have written many sports reports.

So if you want to be an interesting person, you should keep learning how to joke.

There are many funny literary works on the market for you to read. Check online and find the works you are interested in. Or it's a good idea to go directly to the bookstore.

Read some joke books

It doesn't hurt to remember some jokes.

Reading some good jokes will inspire you and make you start to conceive your own jokes. When reading a joke, try to analyze what makes it funny.

At the same time, take a closer look at why those failed jokes are not funny. The jokes you write are not necessarily funny jokes. Try to get some advice from people who don't know you very well (if the other person is your friend, you may not be too straight).

Humor is helpful to study.

If you are a teacher, humor will make the learning process lively and interesting. It can relieve anxiety and stress and make the learning content easier to digest.

Humor can stimulate creativity.

David M. Ogilvy said, "The best ideas come from humor, so the more interesting the ideas, the better." Take richard feynman, the Nobel Prize winner in physics, as an example. He is humorous by nature, even when he is involved in the Manhattan Project.

Humor can reduce fear.

Do you remember when you were a child, you might be scared by something, and your parents would immediately make you happy?

Humor helps to improve work efficiency.

"Humor is actually an interesting seriousness."

If you work hard and are interesting, then everyone will be happy to accept you. Learning humor at work can reduce work pressure. At the same time, humorous people are usually more creative, willing to accept challenges and good at finding solutions to problems.

Try to be an interesting leader.

If the team leader can keep a low profile, then the whole team can relax. So if you are a team leader, you can try to create a relaxed and humorous working environment. Observe what kind of humor employees like and build trust through humor.

Consider a creative and interesting way to solve this problem.

It may sound superficial to make a bad situation interesting, but it is a good way to turn things around.

For example, humor can cheer up a depressed team.

The Bank of Pennsylvania has a "worst customer award"-the bank organizes employees to tell stories of bad-tempered customers every month and rewards employees who encounter the worst customers. This makes every employee more willing to receive customers with bad temper. This idea is creative enough!

Brainstorm ideas and make comprehensive use of them

Dare to show others your shortcomings.

Good comedians often aim at satirizing themselves to create humorous effects. By showing your own shortcomings, you can immediately close the distance between you and others and let them open their hearts.

George Bernard Shaw concluded: "When you find an interesting thing, think carefully about what is hidden behind it." We always spend energy to become a better person and cover up some bad facts about ourselves, and humor can relieve such tension.

Don't take yourself too seriously

Remember those embarrassing moments in your life-those bad ideas you came up with, those moments when you tried to be funny but got a sneer, your stubbornness and stubbornness.

Be a modest person.

This will make others think that you are approachable and let others know that you are just like them-both advantages and disadvantages. Just don't belittle yourself too much, it will seem a bit pathetic, and people won't feel very humorous.

Put yourself in the audience's shoes.

Wil rogersl said: "As long as it's not about yourself, it's always funny." Think about it. If you were another person, would you find it funny? Distinguish humor from vulgarity and don't hurt others.

A certain degree of relaxation

Every confident and smooth comedian knows what to do when he fails to make the audience laugh-forgive himself frankly.

Sometimes some jokes don't sound so interesting, and sometimes what you think is interesting may not be funny to others-don't be discouraged by these small details.

Learn from mistakes.

Even the best comedian can't make the audience laugh every time. If you feel that you are not in the state, don't force it!

Tip:

Don't start laughing at your own jokes before others laugh. This will not only show that you deliberately want to be funny, but also ruin the chance of being funny and make others laugh.

You don't want to laugh in the background of those comedies, do you?
