How to Deliver Jokes That Will Make Everyone Laugh
via: Pexels / Nicole Michalou
So you've got your jokes ready, and their punchlines are fresh in your head. The only thing you need to know now is how to deliver them. You're in luck, then: we've got some helpful tips on helping you nail that delivery and make you the best jokester around. Read on, and find out how to deliver your jokes best!
1. Know your audience.
via: Pexels / Ronê Ferreira
If you've got the luxury of choosing your audience, pick them well. Obviously, you'll want to pick the ones that laugh the easiest to ensure your success. However, you should also know that some jokes that are offensive to some people can be gut-busting and hilarious to others. Pick and choose the right people to use your jokes on, and you'll be a hit at any party!
2. Take a breath and relax.
via: Pexels / Tima Miroshnichenko
If you're new to making jokes in front of an audience, you may feel tense and pressured. When that feeling starts, try to take a deep breath and relax. To make the people you want to laugh naturally, you should also laugh with them. That way, everyone gets to have fun.
3. Vary the tone of your voice.
via: Pexels / Armin Rimoldi
Don't say the same things in the same way, all the time. Try changing how you say it. For example, when leading up to a punchline, say it super seriously... then when you deliver your punchline, say it as flatly as possible. There'll be a pause, and then a lot of laughing as you build tension, only to defy it in the funniest way possible. Be creative!
4. Add a little pause before the punchline.
via: Pexels / William Fortunato
Like the tip above, a little dramatic tension can improve your joke. And nothing builds tension more than a dramatic pause in between as your audience waits with bated breath for the punchline to the joke. Use this sparingly, though, or else people will know to wait!
5. Believe that the jokes you are telling are funny.
via: Pexels / cottonbro studio
How can you make others laugh if you can't make yourself laugh? To spread joy, you must be able to feel the joy as well. Laugh at your own jokes every now and then, and you'll have no problems being funny.
6. Use your body and avoid being stiff.
via: Pexels / Michele Raffoni
The art of making jokes is like a performance, and just saying the jokes out loud won't always be enough. Sometimes, you've got to give your audience visual cues - move your body, do some miming. It makes it more interesting and can even boost the hilariousness a little.
Will Having a Sense of Humor Make a Man More Attractive?
via: Pexels / Mike Jones
Many things make an attractive man: good looks, an impressive wardrobe, excellent manners, and lots of money. Another important part of being an attractive man is a good sense of humor.
Studies have shown that while a man's sense of humor has no direct link with how attractive they are, many find a person with a sense of humor more attractive than those without. Think about it: humor is a sign of good cheer and being sociable. Would you like to date someone who's dry and rarely smiles or who laughs a lot and enjoys smiling?
Having a sense of humor shows your partners that you're relatable and aren't afraid to show your emotions in front of others. It also makes you seem more entertaining and likable. The act of making jokes and laughing at them yourself shows people that you can be an agreeable, relatable, and likable person. It also helps you enjoy eventual relationships more, as both you and your partner make each other laugh and smile genuinely. So, having a sense of humor is important in making a man more attractive.
Frequently Asked Questions

Have more questions about how to make the funniest joke? We've got plenty of answers below.
How do you identify bad jokes?
Many types of jokes are bad jokes by default. For example, a dad joke. It's bad because it's too corny. If you want to know if a joke is bad, take a closer look at it. Do people laugh at it because it's clever and well-thought? Do they understand the punchline instantly? If it's neither of these, it's likely a bad joke, and people only laugh at it because it's so bad.
What are other kinds of jokes?
You don't have to limit yourself to telling bad jokes. There are plenty of other kinds of jokes out there. There are puns, dumb jokes, silly jokes, cheesy jokes, dad jokes, and so much more. Knowing a few of these is a big plus when trying to be a comedian or just a funnier person.
What other ways can I make people laugh?
There are plenty of ways to achieve comedy and make people laugh. Make up a good pun, tell some funny dad jokes, or even make a funny riddle. But you're not just limited to using words to get people to laugh. Try making a performance. Act like the invisible man, and make people laugh as you try to convince everyone you're invisible. Let your creativity and imagination run wild!
What should I do if no one laughed at my joke?
If you notice your funny jokes aren't hitting the mark, don't let your audience see you get visibly distraught. It'll only bring down the playful mood if they see you getting upset and struggle to pick the mood back up. Instead, maintain that playful, joking mood, and try to change up your act a little. If you think your jokes are too high-brow, whip out some dumb jokes. If bad dad jokes aren't enough, whip out your best dad jokes instead. If you find something that works, keep at it, and you'll soon have everyone rolling in laughter.
