How to speak humorously (three ways to improve your sense of humor)

In life, are you often amused by some jokes? When watching the Tucao Conference, did you also think that the people who wrote these jokes were so interesting, smart and wise?

If you also want to be a "joke master", then I believe reading this article can help you.

Jokes are usually a way to ease the atmosphere or narrow the distance when interacting with people. From daily life to company colleagues, humorous people are usually the most popular people; For this reason, learning to use jokes is just a humorous expression.

Duanzi was originally a term in crosstalk art, which refers to a paragraph or a paragraph in crosstalk works. However, with the popularity of the Internet and people's demand for a sense of humor, jokes gradually enter the public's field of vision from the phonological world.

So we usually call a paragraph or a section in many art forms a paragraph that can explain a problem; As you have heard or not, quotations, cross talk and funny jokes are all forms of expression.

Why are jokes so popular?

The key is short. A little joke contains a huge amount of information, making contrast and making people laugh.

Rumors stop at the wise and stop at the mentally retarded.

This sentence is a humorous joke.

Secondly, after people laugh, many jokes can learn some truth, get some inspiration, or give us thinking and aftertaste.

For example, at the Tucao Conference, Li Dan said: "If you don't work hard now, you won't give strength in the future."

Jokes are short and easy to learn, and you don't need a long speech, let alone typing in advance. We can learn humorous jokes through a formula, which most of us can learn.

0 1 Paragraph Formula Paragraph is not a patent for crosstalk performers, nor is it a talk show technique. Because the paragraph itself has routines to follow and skills to use.

According to teacher Yu Qian's summary, this joke has only two parts:

Piece = bedding+luggage

In the form of cross talk performance, there is a word called shaking the burden; Good jokes are usually put in front and the burden is behind. Among them, foreshadowing is to give the audience an idea and a guide; The burden is shifting from bedding to another point, creating a sense of surprise.

The foreshadowing part is often explaining a fact, which does not need to be funny or even serious; But the burden is to create a sense of separation and conflict with bedding.

For example:

Everyone should love small animals, because they are very delicious.

We can analyze this paragraph. The first part is to pave the way, that is, to explain a publicly recognized fact. Because of environmental protection, everyone should like small animals, which is right, but the burden behind it "because they are delicious" has changed, turning small animals into food, and a sense of humor was born at this time.

Another example is:

I am particularly active in various arrangements and affairs of the company. After working for so many years, I have never arranged a meal in the company.

Turning around is very important. Any form of technique, bedding and burden in life and work is to create a sense of conflict, thus producing a humorous effect.

When you find that there are only two basic combinations of paragraphs, the paragraph itself is no longer synonymous with "tall".

We can create our own original jokes at any time. But specifically, how should we make our own paragraphs?

02 misleading turn to let's review the basic formula of paragraphs: bedding+luggage = paragraphs.

How to change from bedding to luggage? There is actually an implicit point in this, that is, misleading turn.

Misleading can be said to be a plus sign between bedding and burden; There are two explanations for the misleading turn. One is the mainstream meaning that people will immediately think of in the social context.

The other is a less common meaning. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of misleading turns: one is serious and the other is not so serious.

The misleading turn is to let us use the second misleading turn. That is to say, a less serious explanation, this turning point thinking, makes the next burden inconsistent with the audience's expectations, so that the humor of the paragraph comes out.

Give another example:

I asked my friend, "Do you have morning flowers and late picking?"

The friend replied, "I won't pick up that thing if there are morning flowers."

When we hear the word "morning flowers and evening flowers", we will instinctively think of this book. But this sentence can also produce a second explanation in homophonic, and then make the second half produce a humorous effect of burden.

Such a paragraph structure can fully explain how misleading turns produce a sense of humor.

For example:

Everyone knows that the job of telemarketing is to make more phone calls to improve performance; I have a deep understanding of this. I have been calling my girlfriend since last quarter, and there is no performance.

In this joke, making a phone call can improve your performance, which is a foreshadowing, while calling your girlfriend is misleading. This is the mindset given to us by the whole society, and the misleading turn has turned this paragraph into a very humorous effect.

In the American melodrama "Modern Family", the screenwriter said: "80% of jokes are word games." The misleading turn fully proves this point.

In order to make jokes in a misleading way, we need to train our own "misleading thinking".

03 training misleading thinking paragraphs is essentially the embodiment of inconsistency; And this contradiction needs a "misleading turn." Therefore, if you want to make a good joke, you need to train your misleading thinking more.

The first thing to do is, before you speak, think about what people understand and expect from this sentence in our current social context. As long as the burden behind it is contrary to expectations, there is no problem.

For example:

Friends around you ask what do you think of the Tucao Conference? The subtext of my friend is to ask what you think of the program.

But you can answer like this: I watch it with my eyes, on TV, or on my mobile phone.

This is a misleading way of thinking.

There are many answers like this. The key is that if you don't play by the rules, you can jump out of the conventional thinking.

So how to train misleading thinking to create humorous effects?

Answer irrelevant questions.

Answering irrelevant questions means not answering questions directly, violating each other's expectations and creating humorous effects.

According to this idea, we can practice by ourselves. The rule is: no matter what the other person asks, don't follow the other person's answer, but give a surprising answer.

For example:

"Why don't you get married?"

"Wang Cai is not married either."

Or:

"Why didn't you get a raise and promotion?"

"My colleague Xiao Zhang didn't get a raise or promotion."

According to this logic, we can create humorous comedy effect by answering irrelevant questions.

Let's summarize.

1. Piecewise formula:

Duanzi = bedding+luggage.

2. misleading:

The foreshadowing implies a misleading turn, which makes the burden shake more contrast and highlights the comedy effect.

3. Misleading thinking:

By answering irrelevant questions, you can effectively train your misleading thinking, so that humor and jokes are no longer exclusive to talk show TV, and you can also become a master of jokes.

Finally, it is very important to learn humor as a way to bring people closer and show their charm. Here, I might as well recommend a book, Humor and Communication.

Learn a sense of humor, effectively improve the difficulties and dilemmas in interpersonal communication, break through professional dilemmas, and enhance interpersonal relationships in the workplace.
