It is really simple to become funnier than you are today. Before I continue,Learn How To Be Funny In 3 Easy Steps Articles I shall tell you how great psychologists explain why your friends find some things funny. I am sure that there are times we catch on things we have not known of, at those times, the mind connects the neural cells by creating a new ”route” between the two them.This route what we call a synapse and it works like this:If we, say think about food, and we recollect that avocados are food, then the brain constructs a connection (synapse, which gets thicker) between the neurons that acquire the data we have on food and those with this fruit. Later on, when you think of food, chances are you'll be thinking about apples. You're probably thinking, what does that have to do with me getting funnier? But, it's pretty much all about it, it's actually the way humor works.Everything begins with another person telling you a short, yet common story. Stand-up comedians call this a setup. You should now be thinking about the story you've heard in a certain way. Your brain should now be creating routes from the setup, that you've recently heard to the most suiting punch-line. What you're going to hear, won't be the punch-line you imagined, but a completely different one, which will make you laugh. If by any chance you still don't get this, the next example should be helpful.The Setup:What is the most satisfying thing next to being shot at and missed?The Punch-line:An income tax refund.How different was the punch-line you thought of? Surely, you would've said it was either a Bosnian, Serbian or Croatian in the driver's seat. It's natural, as our brain works that way. You’ve noticed that the punch line is totally different than what you have expected it to be. This is important as it's in fact the basic principle of humor.The most important thing is a good setup. The best comedians will always tell you the setup in a way that will leave you with many possible punch-lines to think of. The more you think that your punch-line is the most suitable one, the more you'll laugh when you hear the actual one. In case you have already heard the joke, it will probably not be as funny, simply because your brain knows the punch-line, therefore it won't create any new routes.This article should be useful if you want to create new pranks. When a man tells a story that everyone thinks about in the same way, but you figure out a different way to understand it. Now, if you tell this to others, it should be very funny.
