Tired of being considered passive and boring in front of your jovial and funny friends with good sense of humor. Are you missing that spark? That perfect timing to participate in the joke? Embarrassed when they are cracking something close to the "epicenter of humor"? Do you think discussing "Taarak Mehta" would be enough to ignite the chain of giggles? Had enough of shallow laughing, going to the loo, and trying to change the topic uncomfortably when you start feeling segregated?
Well, you need not worry anymore.
Guys and Girls, I present you with the ultimate guide to the social ladder. Remember, good looking guys would grow old and farty one day. But, the fan list of people like Kiku Sharda, Bharti Singh, and Kapil Sharma will keep getting longer and longer. Need I say more to stress on the importance of having good sense of humor?
Given below are some handy tips that might be used to seem humorous, and if not, then at-least not seeming that boring and passive. Please note, care must be taken to avoid overuse, as you might end up looking like a clown. So, exercise moderation and carefully adopt these tips according to the situation.
GETTING THE FUNKY LOOK
Remember, when it comes to laughter, people appreciate real humor, and if you don't have those skills, you got to have something to cover it up. That can be your funky t-shirt with some hilarious one-liner, that would overshadow your not-that-great sense of humor. At least, you would look like having a great one!
SEND FUNNY VIDEOS AND JOKES ON YOUR CHAT GROUPS
I've seen some people who, as mentioned, end up looking like a clown. Drop those funny videos and jokes as to make your friends laugh out loud. But, mind the frequency, people. They might stop even noticing and reacting to your jokes if you overflow their chat-boxes with your countless pings that might force their cellphones to hang and shut down. This is clearly annoying and irritating. Give them and their chat-boxes some time to miss you. Otherwise, you would be categorized as jobless and useless, in short, "vellaa".
DON'T FORGET TO REACT, LAUGH, EXCLAIM, AND, NOD
Well, if you can't add on to the humor, at least, be an active participant. Act like you are having currents of amusements by every word of the joke cracked. Join the laugh like everyone else does. You never know if the person next to you is also doing the same. That's an important practice to be followed in social circles. Don't just sit idle. Nod your head. React. Express with your eyes. Even if you didn't get the joke, don't forget to add one-liners or single words of exclamation. So fake, LOL.
SMILE
Act like it was an average joke that was not up to your mark set for humor.
Remember those Idea ads with Abhishek Bachchan? That moment of sheer awesomeness when Abhishek Bachchan is looking at the person in front of him, and dishes out a smirk and says “Get Idea”? Yes, that’s the smile I'm talking about.
The Idea 3G... "I’m awesome and you know it" smile
OWN UP TO YOUR SHITTY HUMOR. DON'T DRAG OTHERS INTO IT.
BE IT'S PROUD OWNER.
Don't shy away from cracking a poor joke. And don't ever be embarrassed for the same. Don't expect everyone to laugh on it. For the time being, focus on participation. You would definitely improve one day. Remember, participation is more important than winning. Keep cracking your PJs, that's much better than being boring.
Like this guy in the picture...
The SRK ..."I look like a moron, but I’m cute" smile
THE HUMOROUS EMERGENCY EXIT
If nothing else works out, use the Fire Escape. Wait for the person to crack a joke. Smile. Take a deep breath, and say, “Well, carry on guys, had enough of laughter dose for the day, now have to work. Don't you people have some?” Then stand up, smile and say bye, and walk off. Don’t turn back, for the people are still staring at you.
If they still can't understand that you have a personality of your own and you are not much into jokes and laughing till your belly aches, if they can't understand that you are not as expressive, then find another group, and use the same techniques all over again.
