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.
Everybody I know who is funny, it's in them. You can teach timing, or some people are able to tell a joke, though I don't like to tell jokes. But I think you have to be born with a sense of humor and a sense of timing.
If you can be funny, it means you're intelligent. Your brain is working fast.
I'm good at being funny.

Actually being funny is mostly telling the truth about things.
I've always found it easier to be funny than to be serious.
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.
You can't teach somebody how to be funny. You're either funny, or you ain't.
