  1. Great advice! Remember: comedy is a numbers game. The more jokes you attempt, the more laughs you'll receive. Even professional comedians are happy with a 50% success rate. Cheers!

  2. that's the spirit!

  5. Lower the pitch of your voice, be concise and look them in the eye. Hope that helps. Cheers!

  6. it WAS an entanglement. You should have seen the ropes and chains they used. 😲

  7. Look for repetitive behavior. That's where things start to add up.

  8. It was always going to end that way. Glad you got out sooner than later. Cheers!

  9. I respectfully disagree. It's what takes a guy who looks like that from a Chad to a High Value individual.

  10.  @jwhippet8313  I try not to hang around verified insane people.

  11. feel better?

  12. No they don't. He's lashing out at everyone except her. He's a classic victim. Jada will be known as the next Amber Heard. I'm calling it now.

  13. most successful comedians are less than average looking. Cheer up and keep trying.
    3
  14. No. Gaslighting is an intentional manipulation over a period of time. The other one is just a difference of perception or perspective.
    3
  15. I respectfully disagree. They are giving away techniques to enhance one's self. IME 'like it or lump it' doesn't work for many folks.
    3
  16. IKR?? All it took for her to heal was ripping others apart!

  17. Remember: Comedy is a numbers game. Keep it light hearted and remind yourself of baseball averages. If 40% of you jokes connect, you are a hall of famer. Cheers!

  18. Jada Pinkett-Smith will be the new Amber Heard. I'm calling it now.

  19. Quite the opposite, actually. People are funny because they know what most people respond to, and then they practice. Every day. Everyone can be funnier. It's one of the great equalizers.

  20.  @dustinhertel7261  my my, that is an extreme analogy. Especially since the video didn't simply state "subvert expectations - Now hey, wanna pay me for more lessons like this?" They gave concrete examples and concepts made to inspire and intrigue the uninformed. Sure it was a rudimentary video, it's just a few minutes long. There are more detailed vids regarding the mechanics and nuances of humor out there if one was more inclined. Humor is the great equalizer - ANYONE can be funnier if they put the time in. One has to have a curious and open mind though, that's step one. Cheers!
    2
  21.  @dustinhertel7261  TLDR. If you would have spent that time and energy practicing these strategies instead of composing a diatribe on why you are 'right', your humor skills would have improved already. But, keep convincing yourself it's impossible - it only affects you. Cheers!
    2
  22. Not even close to true. Everyone can be funnier. It's one of the great equalizers.
    2
  23. So why try, right?
    2
  24. You probably sound like you are trailing off. Try saying you last few words louder right before the pause. People will probably realize your thought is not over yet. Cheers!
    2
  25.  @crunchybun  all good friend. I appreciate the introspection and that dark humor isn't for everyone. Cheers!
    2
  26. Sounds like you are well on your way. Best of luck on your path.
    2
  27. Both. Lotsa great content out there. The trick is, don't wait, start today. :D
    2
  28. LOL!
    2
  29. It's just a tool, not the rule.
    2
  30. It about repetition. If their words don't match their actions, then believe the actions.
    2
  31. Dad jokes are the cornerstone of Western humor. Up until a few years ago, Dad jokes were simply know as puns. Like 8 out of 10 jokes are puns. Take away those, and all you have are fail videos and dark humor. Not a great future LOL. Embrace the pun. Your friends will thank you. Cheers!

  32. try the 70/30 rule: other people should be talking 70% of the time. Ask questions and let the others talk about themselves - it's their favorite subject. You'll learn things about them and that will help you determine what to say and not say around them. Best of luck with the new team. Cheers!

  33. So lying to her was justified?
    2
  34.  @Rs2Hackzltd  I'm not getting it twisted. She quoted him on what he said and then he stated "I never said that." which is demonstrably false. Let's be clear on that. This video was helpful in explaining the insidious nature of gaslighting, and you picking out one puny aspect of it that you don't agree with makes you seem paltry.

  35. Are you sometimes? Gotta be honest with yourself before you can be honest with others.
    2
  36. it 100% works. It's your perspective that needs to change. Or not. You do you, Boo. Cheers!

  37. thank selfie culture and social media...

  38. Glad to know. Now everyone can sleep tonight.

  39. That's the spirit!

  40. You absolutely can. They just have to be willing to put in the time.

  41.  @slightcurve98  Really? I get paid handsomely to teach people the mechanics of humor and watch their progress improve all of the time. Comedy is one of the great equalizers: anyone can be funnier. But - have it your way, I guess. Cheers!

  42. people on the the spectrum are a small percentage. This works for most people.
    1
  43. you sound hilarious.
    1
  44. so why try, right?
    1
  45. I tried that. She was really upset!
    1
  46. It's a skill they've practiced. The odds of them getting it exactly right by accident are remote.
    1
  47. Yeah, your Charisma course is far more clear about this.
    1
  48. "Remain just as you are." You mean, like stagnate? 😬

  49. Congrats! I've never seen someone be 100% wrong before. You're a professional!

  50. Humor is subjective. You'd be in the minority on that opinion though, I'd wager.
    1
  51. Do you honestly think most people would watch the channel more if he used nobodies for examples?
    1
  52.  @lynic-0091  uhm, no it wouldn't, actually. They use success stories because they are just that - success stories. These individuals got famous BECAUSE they have these traits, not in spite of them. Rarely do others want to shower lavish attention and praise on myopic, socially awkward people with no charm. Their success is verifiable. Additionally, there is more video footage of these people that shows said charisma time and again. If COC used regular people, most the naysayers (like you) would comment that 'no one knows who these people are', 'this site is fake', or 'if they are so charming, why aren't they famous or more successful??' Lastly, if you truly believe that using people know one's ever heard of is a far better idea, why do YOU start that channel here on YouTube? It's a slam-dunk, multi-million dollar idea, right? Right?? We both know why you won't. Cheers!

  53. When someone tries to make you think that their bad behavior is all in your head or it's your fault. If they do it on purpose and do it often, that's gaslighting. Hope that helps. Cheers!

  54. He said he was doing his best Keith Richards impersonation.

  55. Get knocked down six times, get up seven, as they say.

  56. Humor is subjective, but to be funny one just has to know what most people respond to and give it to them, even if it is not your personal taste. Cheers!

  57. For you maybe...
    1
  58.  @knighttoking7926  let me guess...YOU'RE one of the only genuine people, right? LOL what a Hipster.
    1
  59.  @knighttoking7926  " Keep guessing, you moron." No thanks, I've wasted enough of my time trying to see if you are open minded and reasonable. I get paid handsomely to coach people how to develop their humor skill set and be successful leaders, but first they all have to the right attitude. You clearly do not. Good luck with the rest of your life. Cheers!

  60. aren't you clever!

  61. Either edgy or sad. Either way, not cool.

  62. That's literally all it is. If you knew the punch line, would you laugh?

  63. Great question! :)

  64.  @hurk4thewin810  respectfully, if the"whole female race doesn't" like you, then the only common denominator in that equation is - you. I recommend some introspection to figure out what it is that seems to be universally off-putting. May I suggest with starting to refrain from expressing caustic responses to rando comments on Youtube threads, for example. I wish you well in you journey of completeness. Cheers.

  65. I'm sure it is probably out there already.

  66. than don't take this excellent advice. Your loss.
    1
  67. I'm sorry to hear that.

  68. As a life coach, I tell clients to 1. always remind themselves of the Death of Expectations, and also that you cannot control what others do. (see no. 1.) Hope that helps in some way. Cheers.

  69. Gaslighters won't date each other. They know the signs.

  70. Actually, comedy is one of the great equalizers. Keep at it. Cheers!

  71. They're trying to be classy.
    1
  72. You sure?
    1
  73. I doubt that will happen. Maybe you should make one?
    1
  74. are you winning?
    1
  75. Yes, it's intentional. That's what makes it gaslighting, not a disagreement.
    1
  76. Because he showed us exactly how in the video?
    1
  77. Feel better? Sound like you should make your own YouTube video instead of complaining about others' well intentioned efforts.
    1
  78. It is an intentional, repetitive pattern. Anything else are just disagreements.
    1
  79. Way to miss the whole point. Watch it again.
    1
  80.  @6ThreeSided9  but you did. He states gaslighting is intentional and is ongoing. So, unless he uses one film to show the ONGOING gaslighting of ONE character, you wouldn't be happy. However, that runs into YouTube copyright problems, so he uses different examples from different films. One disagreement is not gaslighting. You know that, right?
    1
  81.  @6ThreeSided9 Are those people continually telling you that you are crazy and paranoid and making the whole thing up? Because that's what gaslighting is. Besides, If you repeatedly have a difference of perspective with the same person, perhaps it isn't the best friendship? No one said you have to take their well-intentioned and researched advice. Geez.
    1
  82.  @6ThreeSided9  so you're saying gaslighting doesn't exist?
    1
  83. If you grew up with traumatic events, it is a physiological reaction to suppress memories. Write things down if you need to, but don't let other's use that against you. Cheers!
    1
  84. most successful comedians are pretty fugly. Pretty privilege does not apply in this case. Cheers!
    1
  85.  @L.I.T.H.I.U.M  only if the jokes are funnier. Comedy skills and money are the great equalizer. Anyone can obtain more of each if they are focused. Or, they can be bitter about not having it already and refuse to improve. Their choice. Cheers!

  86. to you maybe
    1
  87.  @knighttoking7926  did you just bring up a president from like a decade ago? How timely and relevant to the topic being discussed. You could really use some more laughs in you life, my dude. I hope things turn around for you. Cheers!
    1
  88.  @knighttoking7926  you assume wrong. Nothing new for you though.
    1
  89. umm...maybe he also uses dry wit, but those clips weren't used?
    1
  90. please tell me you are kidding lol
    1
  91. Gaslighting is an intentional, repetitive, manipulative action. People are wrong a lot. Calling them out on it is not gaslighting.
    1
  92. You're not funny Edgelord. Also, spelling and grammar will help you look smart. Best of luck!

  93. Two things can happen at the same time.

  94. Not funny.
