...focusing on self amusing, ie saying things that make you laugh. Rather than focusing on saying things to make others laugh

I'd say this is the most important aspect. You just have to seek out the funny for it's own sake. Comedy is something you do, it doesn't necessarily happen just because your authentic.

Also, a lot of humor is in paying out people. Being mean and stereotypes is a goldmine for humor. Make fun of dumb inane women and guys who can't get laid (thots and incels respectively), immigrants and those little african pygmies with the bloated bellies (povcunts).

for its own sake and you're authentic

not it's own sake and your authentic

 

Anyway the key to being funny, would be to delete this thread and never try to be funny ever again.

Merge with the people you're talking and let your mind do the rest. It will know how

Never thought of myself as particularly funny but I was having a course about stage presence last year & I was asked if I think I have a good sens of humour. I said « well I do laugh a lot » & that made the room laugh.
What I am getting at is to find things funny & to laugh at things. Do you laugh at yourself when you’re alone? 
For instance, the other day I made a protein shake & started shaking it with the lid cracked. It made a gigantic mess all over my kitchen for the 10th time at least(I always do this). I couldn’t do anything but to roll around on the floor suffocating from laughter.

Those things wouldn’t win a comedy award but that’s my point. Comedy is how you look at things & what’s in your heart when you look at them.

If you wanna make others laugh now is a different story. You gotta cater to your public somehow. Humour works based off shared cultural expectations & the subversion of them. Just like musical meaning.

Freud actually made a distinction between lighthearted, playful joking - what we’d call funny in this context - and more aggressive, obscene, or hostile jokes. And it’s those darker ones that carry real unconscious force. They’re like dreams in that way - they smuggle repressed stuff to the surface, but only because the joke gives them a way to sneak through the cracks

But the playful kind - the “funny” we’re talking about here - has nothing to do with the unconscious or with repression. So if you make a powerful, cutting joke that taps into deep psychological material, people might see you as witty or intellectual. That doesn’t mean they’ll enjoy your company or feel like they’re having a fun time.

And yeah - sorry, it’s a male chauvinist take, I’m so fucking sorry - but girls really are the litmus test here. It’s just about being confident, lighthearted, not taking yourself so seriously. When you’re in that space, there’s always room for messing around, goofing off, letting things get a little fun and stupid in the best way.
