jokes seem to be lame

[nismo-4]

I seem to lose girls because of my jokes. For example,

Q: Have you heard about the world's largest Ice Chest?
A: It was so big that there wag a hockey game going on in it! (Dumb-ass joke)

I wonder what makes for a funny joke? Case-and-Point: If you watch Chappelle's Show on Comedy Central, 99.99% of his jokes are funny. Sometimes, I try to be original, but the joke comes out lame in the end. This seems to be where I fail to get a girl. What do you think I should do to improve my jokes? Or should I not tell jokes at all?

You don't need a stand up act to pick up girls. The 'jokes' you should tell, should be about things related to something around you, or what she said. You don't got to think up a routine for a girl. However, nobody says you HAVE to tell jokes.

That's not a joke. That's an abomination of humor. Maybe it would have been a bit funnier if it weren't in such a cliched joke format.

There are books on humor. Look them up on amazon.com. Also, watch lots and lots of standup on tv.

Stay away from the comedy. Maybe become a rapist or something.

Now that's funny.

A hockey game? Midgets sneeze funnier than that.

Have you not learned anything? You don't tell jokes.

To be funny with women you can't do set piece proper jokes, it has be one liner type stuff that comes out of situations you are in or in response to something someone says.

Not only is this natural it's easier because you only do it sparingly as and when. Declaring a joke, it really does have to be funny otherwise you look a sap.

I suspect it's far more than the jokes that are letting you down, sorry bud.

The funniest jokes come from remarks made during casual observations, that are NOT set up, but are just one liners that happen spontaneously. NOT PLANNED.

Humor comes from the juxtaposition of two things that are not commonly put together...

such as a compliment and an insult

"nice tie", vs.

"nice tie, f.uckface!" said with a big smile...
it's important to have the smile while you do this, because if you say it and you look like you're insulting them, it seems more like an insult

humor is not always about teasing either...

something as simple as this (from dumb and dumber)

in front of the chick, watch a couple walk down the street, and then turn to her and say...
"damn, did you see that a.ss?.... he must work out." said SIMPLE, not like you're telling a joke... a little smirk is acceptable of course


now go out there and be funny, f.uckface

LOL ,i'm gonna use the "that guy must work out", that is key.

Observational humour is the key. That and sexual innuendo after you've built up some rapport with the girl

 

[christz]

if that's what you say to girls to make them laugh.. no wonder they leave you

lol i'd laugh my a$$ off all the way out the door
