  1. most successful comedians are less than average looking. Cheer up and keep trying.

  2. 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!

  3. 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.

  4.  @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!

  5.  @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!

  6. Not even close to true. Everyone can be funnier. It's one of the great equalizers.

  7. 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!

  8. Sounds like you are well on your way. Best of luck on your path.

  9. 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!

  13.  @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!

  17. Humor is subjective. You'd be in the minority on that opinion though, I'd wager.

  18. 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!

  21.  @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!

  27.  @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!
