Aug 9, 2024
How to Make People Laugh and Enjoy Your Company
Introduction
Everyone experiences moments when they want to be funny but can't find the right words.
Today's video presents six easy ways to make people laugh and be more likable.
1. Finish Incomplete Sentences with a Joke
Example: Chris Evans's interaction where he humorously finishes someone else's sentence.
Key: Use absurdity to complete their thought, making it clear it’s something they wouldn't say.
Practice by being witty in situations where you have time to think.
2. Answer Questions with Absurdity
Look at questions as opportunities for humor.
Example: Chris Hemsworth responding unexpectedly about growing a beard.
Chris Pratt’s underwater shooting experience highlights this technique effectively.
3. Use Playful Pivots in Conversation
If you forget to be funny, start with a genuine answer and then exaggerate.
Example: Chris Evans talking about stealing movie props and shifting into humor.
Encourages others to be playful, enhancing connection.
4. Share Positive Thoughts Out Loud
When feeling awkward, express your positive thoughts to keep the conversation flowing.
Example: Complimenting someone and making an educated guess about them.
This can be done even with people you just met.
5. Maintain a Positively Relentless Attitude
Be unapologetically positive, even about negative experiences.
Chris Pratt is an example of someone who reframes low points positively.
Habitual positivity can be developed through self-reflection and journaling.
6. Focus on Having Fun
Rather than trying to impress others, prioritize enjoyment in interactions.
Examples: Chris Pratt’s goofy antics, Chris Hemsworth’s playful moments with family.
Confidence to be silly is attractive and builds connection.
