In any team, funny people are especially popular. It is always pleasant to communicate with such a person: he is witty and creative, or, more simply, “the soul of the company”. Do you personally have a sense of humor?
Instructions
Step 1
Tell your friends a joke or funny story. Humor can be based on the combination of several incompatible or ridiculous situations. At the same time, important details can be safely omitted. For example, "the pastor with sorrow informs the bishop about the death of his wife and asks to send a substitute for the weekend." There are times when the same funny story is presented in completely different ways. Having listened to one option, a person may remain at a loss. He still did not understand where the right moment was, at which it was worth laughing. But the story in a different version has every chance to collect a storm of applause. The company will be happy to remember and retell a successful joke for a long time to come. And the whole thing lies in the individual manner of presentation: funny views, intonations and grimaces. Demonstrate your humorous ability to your friends and rate how well your mini-concert was received.
Step 2
Make fun of someone you know. People with a great sense of humor have lightning-fast reactions. They are able to notice the slightest discrepancy, an inconspicuous detail and present it as a good joke. Try to exaggerate or belittle your friend's trait, catching on to an incorrectly spoken phrase. Did you do it kindly and was it really funny? See how your friend reacted to this. Rate your impromptu.
Step 3
Test your capacity for self-irony. A very valuable characteristic that is inherent in cheerful people is the ability to ridicule not only others, but also oneself. Of course, at the same time, the person does not reveal his weaknesses to the show. He is ironic mainly about his insignificant shortcomings. Or, on the contrary, he ascribes to himself such features that he never had. For example, after a day of idleness, you can admire your hard work, and after a series of unnecessary purchases, call yourself a victim of advertising. How often do you resort to self-irony?
Step 4
Arrange a joke. A person with a sense of humor appreciates jokes, non-standard situations and likes to arrange them often. There is no need to wait for April 1st, you can arrange a fun draw on any weekday. Tell someone you know about a non-existent situation, find ways to involve outsiders, or simply refer to someone you think is authoritative. The basic rule is that you need to be serious and calm. The situation should look plausible in principle. Pause as long as possible and do not admit what you did. Pay attention to how long you were able to hold out and whether your friends really "swallowed the bait". By the general indicators of your performance, you can judge how good your sense of humor is.
