Step 1
Remember that one of the main criteria for success in making up jokes and writing funny stories is a person's sense of humor. Psychologists have long proven that an excellent sense of humor and erudition, as well as mental abilities, are directly proportional. In other words, the smarter a person is, the funnier their jokes can be. But this does not mean at all that all professors and candidates of science are natural-born humorists. It is very important that the jokes you come up with elicit laughter from the public, and not just from their direct author.
Step 2
To write a funny story, come up with or remember a funny story from life and, most importantly, be able to present it "tasty". For this purpose, humor writers use a whole range of expressive means to help achieve the desired effect. In the first place among these means is hyperbole - the exaggeration of a situation, character trait or property. If hyperbole is used skillfully in a story, it creates a stunning comic effect.
Step 3
Also use, if appropriate and possible, the method of litota, which is the reverse of hyperbole, that is, this is a deliberate understatement of some properties, features, etc.
Step 4
Add to the list the means that can be used when writing a humorous story, even a literal interpretation of phraseological units, catchphrases and other words with a figurative meaning, an unexpected comparison, listing as homogeneous irrelevant objects, the use of words with a figurative and direct meaning in a specific context, and so on.
Step 5
To maintain the intrigue of the reader until the end of the story, use such a technique as an unexpected ending. Do not forget also about using various absurdities in the behavior of your heroes. Endow their characters or appearance with comical features, place them in non-standard situations, call them unusual names and give them “speaking” surnames.
