Are you
always fond of making your friends moan anytime you enter the room?
Are you tired of people calling you boring and
unexciting?
Are you
always trying to put smiles on the faces of your friends but instead, you get
heavy frowns?
No
need for you to stress yourself by doing intentional “fails” and wearing uncomfortable
clothing to give your friends a laugh.
Everyone
has their own sense of humor, yours may be great. Actually, it’s not a good
thing that every time you are in the in presence of your friends you seem to
turn the good mood to………… level 0!!!!
Having a good sense of humor helps to boost
self-esteem, helps to build strong and lasting relationships and also makes you
more loved, attractive and cherished. If you are lacking or want more tips,
here are a few tips to step up your game. If you are the joker in your group of
friends, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s ‘joke’ into it. (hunh, hunh
or Nah?)
As always, I’ll keep it
simple.
1. Be a nice person
If
you aren’t someone who smiles a lot how can you expect smiles from others when
you approach them?
You
should be a nice, sweet, kind person; to your family, friends, and neighbors.
Try to have a positive attitude at all times. When you do this, your friends
would cherish you the more; in your absence and presence.
Some ways of showing your kind attitude
are:
a)
Always smile and laugh
If you are always feeling down, how can you then be a
clown amongst your friends? No one wants to be around someone who frowns and
never giggles.
b)
Tell jokes or puns
You can tell funny jokes and puns to your friends to
make them laugh.
Tell jokes that aren’t offensive
to them. Also, be sure to gesticulate when telling jokes, it adds more humor to
the jokes. You know, move your hands funnily or shake your head like a bumble
doll.
Use puns like;
“What
kind of cat likes to go bowling...Alley-cats!”
“How do you invite a dinosaur to lunch...Tea-rex!”
”Will glass coffins be a success...Remains to be seen!”.
c)
Have a care-free attitude
Be light-hearted and open to new people.
Have an interactive spirit
and you will even gain more close friends. You would notice that being an
extrovert pays a lot. Don’t hold unnecessary grudges but reconcile and keep
your friends close.
The bottom line: BE FREE!!!
d)
Give your friends funny nicknames
Coming up with silly yet sentimental nicknames for
your friends is a great way of always keeping your friends laughing when they
are with you.
You can mix your friends' first name with animals’ to have a good laugh.
You can use; Beth+monkey=Bethey
Or
Remove some letters from the name and add
vowels e.g. James=Jae
Or
You can just abbreviate the name e.g. Veronica=V.V
e)
Compliment their appearance
If you see your friend has a new shade of lipstick on,
compliment her. If it’s a new pair of boots, a compliment.
Always
make your friends feel free and accepted around you.
2.
Be an awesome pal
If you want your friends to smile
whenever they see you, start by being a very awesome pal to hang out it.
You have to be a paddie to your friends.
Know when you are meant to ‘be there’ and when
your presence is needed. Always find ways to cheer up your friend by being
supportive and reliable.
Some few ways of being the very best friend you can be are;
a)
Come with silly board games
Always be there to lighten the mood of a situation.
When everyone seems bored,
bring up a silly game idea and convince your friends to join in. It may be a game
you just came up with in your head; anything that involves players and silly
rules is nice. You can also convince your friends to play board games like snakes and ladders then cheat a little to mess
with your friends. It’s all for a good
laugh.
b)
Watch a funny show/movie together
You can tell your friends to go to the
cinema to watch a movie together or you can just watch it at home.
You can also binge-watch comedy series/shows
like The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men,
Fresh off the boat, Where’s
the money, The Mask(one of my
favorites) to name a few, on weekends to keep your moods hyped.
c)
Tell your friends funny quotes
You can go look up the internet for funny quotes to
tell your friend if he/she is sad or moody.
Quotes like:
”People say nothing is
possible, I do nothing everyday”
“Life
is short, smile while you still have teeth”
“I
want someone to look at me the way I look at coffee”
“The more you weight, the harder you are to be kidnapped.
Stay safe, eat cake”.
You can also share some with your friends so
they can tell their friends.
d)
Watch comedy shows
You can live stream comedy
shows with your friends during the weekends or you can watch videos of famous
comedians like Trevor Noah, to name a few. There are also channels on TV that comedy
shows are shown so don’t miss them.
A good example is The
Rickey Smiley show
e)
Send your friends funny pics, memes, emojis or videos
You can send your friend(s) funny pictures of animals
or even nature.
You can also send funny videos or watch them
on TV. There are so many funny pics and videos on the web nowadays, that’s how memes came to exist.
Memes are the current ones;
so you can send funny memes or post them in group chats with your friends to
get tons of LOL’s. You can use funny
emojis like the X-eyes knockout emoji or poop emoji which are hilarious to use
in funny conversations.
3.
Mess around
NOW, IT’S TIME TO DO SILLY STUFFS AND SAY STUPID
THINGS.
To always make your friends laugh when with
you, it wouldn’t hurt to get just a little bit crazy and mess around for a
while. Make sure you don’t go over the edge when acting ‘crazy’.
Some few things you can do to keep the good
vibes on and hype up your friends are;
a) Bring up silly topics
When talking to your friend, you can bring up silly
things/topics to talk about.
You can talk about the silly shoes you wore,
the way your friends laugh or even celebrity gossip. Talk about things that
make no sense at all but are very hilarious.
b)
Wear funny outfits/costumes
You can wear silly costumes for outings with your
friends.
Maybe you want to go to the cinema to watch a
Rom-com movie; you can wear a pirate
outfit. Or maybe Halloween is in a couple of weeks, why the wait when you
can rock the supergirl outfit to a trip to the mall with your girlfriends?!!
Just wear costumes that make you stand out but
not get the wrong attention.
c) Tease your friend
You can annoy your friend a little; irritate them a
bit by pestering them about something or someone.
You can also tease your friends
by calling them names or teasing their appearances or behavior. Maybe your
friend, Sheila laughs like a chicken, you can playfully call her Sheik but if
it starts getting offensive to her, please stop.
Don’t tease your friend in a way that is
offensive. Don’t be obnoxious.
d)
Play pranks
Pull a practical joke on your friend if she feels sad
and trick your pal if he seems bored.
Pranks are harmless ways of
feeling and messing with people. Although, some pranks tend to be dangerous,
make sure yours is harmless.
You can switch the sugar container
with the salt container and give it to your friend to add to his cereal.
Such a sour
scenario!!!!!
e)
Tell a funny story
You can tell your friends a funny story; it may be
about a real experience or other narratives.
You can tell a funny thing
that happened to you that day or the worst experience you have ever had. You may
even exaggerate and put in some unbelievable things to make your friends laugh
a lot.
Feel free to
practice your skills as a humorist.
