Perhaps there are no people who do not like funny anecdotes, stories, jokes, aphorisms. A person with a sparkling sense of humor is respected and appreciated in any company. Not everyone can easily come up with jokes, this skill can be considered a gift of nature. However, it can be developed.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way to invent new jokes is to transform old, well-known ones. For this method, you must have a great knowledge of humor. In order to master this knowledge - read humorous collections, and the necessary "base" for creating your own jokes will gradually appear in your memory.
An example can be given like this:
Take the aphorism "Sometimes a drum plays the first violin in an orchestra." By a simple enumeration of associations, it can be transformed into "Sometimes a ram is the leader of a wolf pack." It turned out quite funny and at the same time philosophical.
This way of simple transformations, you can come up with original jokes that hardly anyone has ever said before. At the same time, you do not have to "reinvent the wheel", everything is already done before you.
Step 2
A more difficult way to create jokes is to look for associations and juxtapositions. That is, the basis for a joke is a comparison of two completely different things.
A striking example of a joke created in this way can be an anecdote:
- How does a husband differ from a lover?
- The head hurts from the husband, but from the lover - it is dizzy!.
In order to come up with jokes based on associations, you need to develop associative thinking. To do this, mentally play the well-known game of "association" with yourself. There are also a number of other techniques. Gradually, your creative thinking will develop, and creating jokes-associations will be easy for you.
Step 3
The third way to create jokes is to make the situation funny. That is, an exaggeration or understatement to the point of absurdity. Such techniques usually bring a smile / laugh.
An example of using the method:
- What about the booze?
- We wash the purchase.
- It's good. And what did you buy?
- Three bottles of vodka!"
In order to come up with jokes based on hyperboles, you need to develop the ability to minimize or exaggerate to the point of ridiculous. You can train on everything that surrounds you. Over time, you will master the ability to make everything ridiculous.
