Chapter 1: The Importance of Humor

Although this book is about learning to be funnier, why don’t we take a moment to understand why a sense of humor is so important for us? Sometimes, a great way to help yourself come out of your shell is to understand how powerful humor can be. When you realize what a positive impact it can have on your life and the life of others, it can be easier for you to stop viewing comedy and humor from a negative and fearful standpoint and start viewing it as a positive and healthy trait.

Funny People Are More Likeable

People love being in a good mood and feeling positive about themselves and their life. Laughing as a result of someone being funny is a great way to get in a good mood. Therefore, if you are a funny person, you are much more likely to be liked by the people around you. When you make people laugh and make them feel happy, you are much easier for them to be around which makes you far more likable than someone who struggles to understand humor and is intense or overly serious all of the time.

Funny People Are Detail-Oriented

Believe it or not, people who are funny tend to be more focused on the details. Think of it this way, making a really good joke is not easy. The best ones are spontaneous, meaning you cannot come up with them in advance. There is no opportunity to prepare, you are simply given a moment, and you take it. This means that if you tend to be a funnier person, you are likely great at paying attention to details.

Studies have shown that some of the funniest jokes that people tell are focused on very minor details or a very specific part of a phrase that someone says. This means that someone who is generally considered funny can not only identify that particular detail or phrase, but they can also quickly come up with a witty or otherwise humorous response to it. As a result, they are both more detail-oriented and quicker thinkers.

Comedy and Humor Sets the Foundation for Bonding

As we have already discussed, funny people make people happy. People laugh, they are in a lighter and better mood, and they feel more positive when funny people are present. This also opens them up and sets the tone for bonding. When you can laugh as a result of someone says, you tend to automatically feel as though this person understands you on some deeper level. This feeling of someone relating to and understanding you is something that often helps most people feel closer to someone else. Therefore, when you are funny, you make it far easier for people to bond with you.

A great way to use this to your advantage is in business. If you are looking to close a business deal, start by opening with a quick little joke that everyone will understand. When people feel closer to you like this, they are far more likely to want to agree with you and do business with you. It can have a highly positive impact on your success in business. It can also help you be more successful with making friends, with fitting in to new situations, and with finding alliances in new places.

Funny People Are Always Invited

One fun little benefit of being the funny person is that funny people are nearly always invited to all functions. Because they are funny, know how to lighten the mood, and are likable, people want them around more. This means they are more likely to be invited
