Making a friend laugh is a great way to show that you care about them and want to have fun together. Do something simple to make your friend laugh, like tell a joke, prank, or send a funny picture. Knowing what your friend likes can also help you find ways to make them think you're funny. Avoid using offensive jokes, and don't make jokes that are too cruel to avoid hurting your friend's feelings.
Step
Method 1 of 2: Making Friends Laugh with Your Jokes
Step 1. Tell a joke or pun that might make your friend laugh
Read joke books for funny stories, or come up with quirky word games yourself. For example, you might say “Why do M&M chocolates go to school? It turns out that the chocolate wants to change the brand to Smartie.”
- Wordplay like “What fruit is disobedient? Melon Kundang!” guaranteed to make your friends laugh.
- Another word game you can try is “What fish can fly? Lawar catfish” or “What vegetables are always cold? Cold flower."
- When choosing jokes, stay away from topics that are offensive or cruel.
Step 2. Make fun of yourself for laughs
This is an easy way to make your friends laugh naturally. Talk about any unique habits you have, the clothes you're wearing, or what's happened to you recently.
- You can say, “My stomach looks round. Round and square are the same right?” or “I hit a power pole this afternoon because I was too busy playing with my phone.”
- Make sure you tell it as a joke, not to beg your friend for mercy. Speak confidently, then laugh with him.
Step 3. Jail your friend if he has a good sense of humor
Do something, like hide behind a door or wall to surprise him. You can also make a fake phone call to make him laugh. However, make sure the prank is not dangerous and doesn't upset your friend.
- Cook something weird when your friend says she's hungry, like a green egg with corned beef, or an animal-shaped sandwich.
- Place the confetti on the ceiling fan so that the paper flakes blow out when the fan is turned on.
- Place bubble wrap under the rug to surprise your friend when they hear the popping sound.
Step 4. Tease your friend without offending or pissing him off
If your friend has a good sense of humor, try to make fun of him to make him laugh. Laugh at his habits, his admiration for certain celebrities, or his fondness for strange foods. Don't make fun of him in front of other people so he doesn't feel humiliated and angry.
- Gently tease your friend's habits, for example, he likes to move his hands when talking or uses the same words every time he speaks.
- You can also make fun of your friend's doll collection or his favorite musicians and television shows that they watch in their spare time.
- Don't make fun of sensitive things from your friends. For example, if your friend doesn't like the shape of her own nose, making fun of it will make her angry.
Step 5. Tell a funny story that happened
Look for funny things going on around you, then tell your friends. This could be an incident that happened to someone else, a news story in the newspaper, or a funny story from your childhood.
- Tell a funny story about someone you met at the supermarket or a silly dog you saw at the park.
- Tell a funny thing written in a funny magazine article or advertisement.
Method 2 of 2: Using the Internet or Television
Step 1. Watch a funny show together
There are many comedy shows to choose from. So, look for events that your friends might like. Provide several choices, then ask your friend to decide which one is the funniest.
- Some classic funny television shows or movies that you can watch are “Warkop DKI”, “Extravaganza”, or “Opera van Java.”
- Look for comedy show options by typing “funny television shows or movies” in the search engine field on the internet.
Step 2. Look for videos of comedians doing special stand up comedy shows
Watching stand-up comedy videos from famous comedians is an easy way to find something to laugh about. You can search for the show by the name of the comedian you like, or pick randomly to find the funniest one. Websites like Youtube and Netflix have plenty of stand-up comedy specials to watch.
- Many comedians have their own television shows. They not only do stand up comedy, but also various other funny things, for example, Ellen DeGeneres or Aziz Ansari.
- Type “comedian” into the search engine field to find funny comedians to watch.
Step 3. Look for funny aphorisms online, then pass them on to your friends
These words could have been spoken by famous personalities, television show characters, or writers. Look up some funny aphorisms online, then take notes, write them down on your phone memo, or take a photo of them.
- One example of a funny aphorism is "There is nothing better than a friend, except another friend who brings chocolate."
- Type “funny quotes” or something similar into a search engine to find a wide variety of options. You can even make your search more specific by typing in a topic like “funny quotes about school” or “funny quotes about dogs”.
Step 4. Send funny memes or pictures to your friends
This is a great way to make a friend laugh when you're not around. Whenever you see a funny picture or meme on social media, save the picture to send to friends. You can also search for “funny memes” in the search engine column to find a variety of choices.
- Find out what memes or images your friends like. For example, if he likes cats, memes about cats are guaranteed to make him laugh.
- Look for popular memes on Pinterest or Instagram.
Tips
- Laugh and see if your friends laugh too – laughter can often be contagious to other people.
- Move your body when you tell funny things. Swing your hands and speak in a loud voice to make your story even more exciting.
- Knowing what your friend likes or dislikes can help you find the right joke for them.
