I've learned to start from a really sound argument, boil down the essence of what you're trying to say, then build your humor around that, rather than starting with, 'This sounds funny,' and going from there.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have deep comedic roots, and I want to be funny.
When I'm with other people who inspire my silliness or sense of humor, I'm funny. When I sit down to write, it's hard not to be funny.
I don't argue with people... if they say I'm not funny, they're right, for them.
I've always found it easier to be funny than to be serious.
If you don't have humor, you're not going to make it. You're going to be one of those people who walks around with your head about to explode.
Humour has to have a huge nugget of truth to be funny. You cannot laugh at something unbelievable. Whenever I say something on a lighter note, I am basically unwrapping the truth from a different perspective, and that makes it funny.
Funny is a good foil. Humor is illuminating, and it also gives you power.
You can't teach somebody how to be funny. You're either funny, or you ain't.
You just try to be true to your idea of what is funny and what is also interesting.
I don't think you can teach people how to be funny. You can make suggestions about how to speak a line or get a laugh, but it has to be in them.
