Making a friend laugh will help strengthen your friendship and make all of your friends want to be with you more often and not break away from you. There are several ways to accomplish this without being mistaken for a clown or being considered a fool. People can be amused by words or actions. Read on to learn more.
Steps
Step 1. Get into the right spirit
You will not make anyone laugh if you are sad or angry. If you are planning to spend a few hours in good time with your friend and make him laugh with a few jokes, first make sure you are in a good mood: the purpose is to cheer up your friend, not yours.
Step 2. Get comfortable and get enough rest
If you are tired, you will not be able to think straight. Coming up with good jokes is more difficult when you are stressed or sleepy. Don't get distracted by worries, so you can focus on the jokes you say to make your friend laugh.
Step 3. Be prepared
Think before you open your mouth or tell a funny story. You set out to make him laugh, not arouse his anger.
Step 4. Don't overdo it
If you prefer actions over words, try not to make a fool of yourself. He'll think you're crazy and try to get rid of you the next time you ask him out, or worse yet, he might stop talking to you. Some people don't want freaks as friends.
Step 5. You can make up some absurd stories, but don't overdo it
This is a joke, so obviously it's not realistic. You can tell nonsense if you think your friend will like the joke. For example, you can say something like, "I saw a monster this morning. I almost got it under!" He will ask you, "Really? Where?" At this point you answer: "In the mirror and I almost broke it. Luckily I understood that it was my image".
Step 6. Make comparisons
When you are in a public place and there are a lot of people around, you can use them to make one of your jokes, but try to choose funny subjects. For example, you might say, "Do you see that boy over there?" Then he will ask you: "Yes, why?" You answer him: "If you look at his left profile, you will see that he looks like my father, but if you look at him from the right, he looks more like my uncle, while from the front … well, I don't know!" Your friend will surely wonder who the person you have in mind is. Tell him it was your girlfriend! The joke would be more effective if your friend had never seen your girlfriend or if he didn't know you did. Imagine having a girl who looks like your father in the face.
Step 7. Fart
It might seem over the top, but it works. For example, if your friend is a big talker and you're starting to get bored listening to him, now would be a good time to silence him with a fart, without having to tell him to his face that he's bothering you. Just say "Shut up! Did you hear that noise?". He will ask you "What sound?" and then release your body gases (making sure you make a really bad noise, otherwise it won't work).
Step 8. Look for weird and funny things
Use any element around you to make a joke. You could make comparisons with someone or something familiar to your friend, but remember that there is a fine line between making a joke and offending.
Step 9. Enemies
If you and your friend have a common enemy, scoff at his name or make some ridiculous and unflattering comparisons. Make sure your friend is not on good terms with the person you dislike, otherwise you risk becoming disliked by your friend yourself. For example, if your enemy is a big hairy guy, then you can make a joke, starting it like this: "Did you go to the zoo?" Your friend will answer no. At this point tell him: “Too bad! You missed the gorilla show! "Your friend will ask you what is special about this gorilla, after which you should reply:" I'm talking about (insert the name of your enemy). Looks like he got a part time job at the zoo!"
