Training a sense of humour
Answers
Answer:
You learn more effectively when you immerse yourself in a subject (such as a language). Similarly, you can refine your sense of humor by immersing yourself in humor. Watch standup comedians. Listen to podcasts that amuse you. Read humorous books. There's a lot of funny out there!For one thing, you might be able to actually copy the jokes and use them yourself. Benjamin Errett, author of Elements of Wit, says in an interview with Vice, "There are two types of people. Parrots and magpies. Some people just steal their lines, and repeat them. Others hunt out gold."
Although parroting is frowned upon in the professional standup comedy world (although it still happens regularly), there's no shame in regular folk parroting the pros, especially if you can use it as a stepping stone to evolve further. Even author Oscar Wilde was a parrot. Errett says in this interview with NPR:If you're not particularly funny, you might start off as a parrot ("I heard something funny the other day…"). Immersing yourself in humor will definitely help you parrot away. However, if you want to evolve from parroting, don't just memorize or recite jokes. Pay attention to comedians' timing and delivery. Notice their facial expressions and body language. You don't have to replicate it, but you should notice it so you can use it in your own jokes.
Part of this process will be conscious, but your mirror neurons will probably pick up on certain cues and body language. For me, I find Aziz Ansari pretty funny (some folks prefer him in small dosages, but I could watch his standup for hours). I didn't even notice I was parroting his high-pitched voice until a friend pointed it out.
