You can't, this website has developed a sense of humor for you that doesn't translate well into reality

>How do I become a funny guy?
funny how? like a clown?

I'm genuinely funny but just a few years ago I was dull and miserable. Reading Discworld helped a lot, but I'm not sure what my exact change was. Something just clicked and I understood the laugh code.

>I'm genuinely funny

Tell me a joke

>>35620822
Just snap a pic of your weiner and I'll show you a joke

>>35620852
Haha, but seriously

>>35620852
That joke was fucking terrible yet I still chuckled

>>35620822
You need to give me some kind of input to twist around and insert properly into an ongoing conversation. It's best with an established social group that talks for long periods. It's a matter of observing and chewing on what they say and then, when the comedic timing is right, spit it out.

Oh also making humor from nothing is really fucking hard. I don't write humor for that reason, better minds than me struggle with it. Standup is easy mode.

This is factual. Memorizing funny jokes is useful but doesn't make you funny.

Humor like most things is usually learned and comes from practice

If you're asking how to stop being boring, then you have to realise no one is really boring, it's just that people seem boring when they havent learned how to be honest about their vulnerabilities

This is good advice.

Also OP, a good format for a joke's structure is to open with something emotionally charged/controversial, and diffuse the built up energy with the comedic release.

>You: Did you hear that the secret service is no longer allowed to say "get down" during an emergency?

>Other person: What? Why?

>You: They have to say " Donald, Duck!"

Since the presidency is a hot topic which many people have a strong emotional opinion about, during the initial statement they will project whatever confirmation bias they have onto the statement.
ie: Trump is a pompous idiot, or liberals forced them to change their policy.
Of course keep your audience in mind, this joke will be less effective on people who don't give a shit about politics.
The initial statement should be slightly ridiculous but still believable.

Sexual jokes are a safe bet for laughs. "That's what she said" jokes are a good staple.

Be careful not to overdo it with joking, the best time for a joke is at the beginning of an interaction to set the tone, great way to break the ice. Afterwards insert jokes intermittently, the ideal times being when they are unexpected.

I'm realizing this more and more lately.

Shitpost IRL.
When someone says something you agree with, hiss "This" with an autistic grin on your face, while showing them a print of one of your reaction images.

Funny is simply code for charismatic. I have a good amount and can make a lot of people laugh saying the most stupid shit ever... your body language, tone, and facial expressions do it all.

Don't try to force it. Either you have it or you don't.
