1. Laugh at Yourself
When you have the confidence to laugh at yourself, you welcome others to be confident to laugh at themselves. Self-depricating humor can be a great way to have others warm up to you.
2. Know your Audience
Certain types of humor may only make select groups of people laugh. Being aware of your audience allows you to best steer humor towards the proper audience to ensure there is the best possible reaction.
3. Watch Comedians
Comedians are professionals that are paid to make people laugh. By studying the timing and delivery of comedians, you may pick up on the most effective way to produce a funny story or a joke.
4. Sarcasm
I think that sarcasm is one of the most simplistic forms of humor. Sarcastic sentences can have as much of a humorous effect as a joke. Sarcasm is easy to apply to most situations, its just important to not overdo it.
5. Smile
Smiling, similar to laughter, can be quite contagious. Implementing a smile when telling a funny joke or story can encourage those listening to also smile, which may facilitate laughter.
