How to become funny?

Funny people are boring.

Well that seems to not be the case usually but even then I don't want to become a comedian, just to have a decent sense of humor.

>>8382816

Seconded. But humor isn't boring.

Read Steven Pinker. He is a cognitive scientist who specializes on humor.

Watch Seinfeld. Also, don't overthink being funny, just maintain a fresh and unusual perspective on things

In my opinion the funniest people are the ones who are smart + exceptional in their field as well as humble and down to earth, the humor is just natural to them and they don't have to force comedy, it just comes through now and again. SO to answer your question

1) Become Smart (Read books, attend higher education institution)

2) Become exceptional at your field (Refer to 1) and also imitate the pros at your craft)

3) Stay humble, don't take yourself too seriously and just fucking act like a normal person.

Voila you are now a certified funny-man

Of course.

brevity and timing

No, people with Asperger's Syndrome are boring.

>>8382796
it depends on what kind of funny you want to be. there's funny people who entertain other people and funny people who entertain themselves and others just by-proxy.
>>8382816
which is what boring people say all the time

>>8382796
Always remember that the best jokes are the shortest ones, keep it simple and short or you can be sure it'll turn into a spaghetti fest if you don't know what you're doing.

>>8382796
Just say the truth. Say what you and other people are thinking. Use understatement, overstatement and sarcasm to make your point.

Congratulations, you're funny now.

To add...I believe creativity is a major aspect of humor.
I suggest putting time aside everyday to do something creative; play an instrument, paint, creative writing, etc.

I also believe for most people it's easier to be humorous around good friends or family.

Additionally, learn different perspectives by experience more, being open to diversity, reading more comedic material, watching stand up or comedy shows, don't be afraid, be confident in yourself, smile, etc

Lastly, keep yourself from getting depressed. Depression kills everything

Humor is the last refuge of the incompetent.

That don't make one creative. You'll get better at painting and playing instruments.
Creative writing might be an exception.
