I think some of these are fairly natural talents, I would be weary of you going away and learning a load of jokes lol..

Personally I think that taking a few light hearted shots at a girl can be deemed as funny. However you gotta make it funny or it could be perceived as an insult lol Be a bit cheeky and funny and it should go down well.

"being funny" can't actually be learnt
perhaps ingrained, via watchin lots of comical scenes
but i've found out i'm the master of comedy.....10 minute slater
when i'm dwelling ona situation, i find i can come up witht he best stuff...in the heat of the moment, i'm as dud as a dead potato

See I am fairly witty on the fly, which is quite a good thing I guess because I know I can get people laughing, especially in my friends group.

I find it a little harder when talking to a women though. I guess if I can do it with my friends, I should be able to do it with women.

Being funny has to do with yourself and being confident and comfortable in you skin and being able to see the humour in stuff. No body taught Jim Carry to be funnny Its somthing he leaned or realized in hiself the ability to see the humour, there can be humour in just about evrything In life and you just need to reaslze it. Humour comse from within just find youself first, don't try too hard, or you'll stick badly, practice humour with guys first If your more comfortable wit them, girls will laugh at most things guys do, and if they like you even more. The only thing they migh not laugh at is some obscene jokes guys are accustomed to, depending on the chick.

Example: I just used this today on text message with a girl whos been injured this week:

(Me) - You still hurting?
(Her) - Im getting better about to get in the shower good timing lol thx

(Me) - Now don't go fantasizing about me while in the shower I don't want you collapsing and hurting yourself again!!! hahahaha
(Her) - How did you guess?
(Me) - Im good like that

~The End~

I like to use inuendo but not overdo it. Usually I'm more subtle than this.

When you are confident enough in yourself, you can easily be ****y and confident. The funny part should be something that comes naturally as a carefree guy, who doesn't care what people think. So you're basically proud of who you are and don't give a damn about anyone else. The C+F should come naturally.

phenom gave a pretty good example. You can judge if it comes off as an insult or a joke by their reaction. If they play along with it, then it's going well. If they completely shut you down, then you're doing wrong and either your tone is wrong or you just aren't pulling it off very well.

Man, I hate that sh!t too. I guess it happens to the best of us though. When your face-to-face with an HB sometimes it's hard to find that quick, funny response and I just want to beat my head against the wall when 10 minutes later something truely magnificent comes to mind. I guess I'm a perfectionist when it comes to that sort of thing.

Thats the rule. When you wanna be funny, you need to think fast, analize the situation and DO or SAY something that turns that situation into something funny. Not to mention that you should not think about what others thinks or if they're gonna like it or not.

About being ****y, is more about feeling comfortable with yourself, and also not caring what others think of you. But becareful with that.
