A major key to humour is surprise. Use ideas or imagery that catches people off-guard. Lure them into expecting one conclusion, but instead produce something surreal or grotesque.

I think that your unabashed love for Smirnoff Ice is very funny. It plays perfectly with the gay stereotype.

Play up the gay stereotype on yourself.

Also watch as MUCH Monty Python as you can.

No, I didn't say that... I meant make fun of it using yourself.

And the most important part is MONTY PYTHON. Watch as much as possible. That and Faulty Towers... and also Blackadder. Be sure to read 'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy' and its sequals (all 4), and be sure to read book 1 and 2 over and over repeatedly until it seeps in your unsuspecting skull. ABSORB

And I hope this post doesn't get eaten by the evil forum bug as well. Oh well, here goes... well, something.

Don't listen to Imran, the British can't do anything right.

The British are funny... just look at their royals .

And one thing they do is self-depreciating humor, something valuable to learn.

First you must learn British humor. Then you must learn North American humor. That is the way it should be.

Canuck comedians are pretty good too. Kids in the Hall, Mike Myers, good stuff.

Also, use absurdities.

Canuck comedians are pretty good because they are simply wacko cousins of the Brits.

I'm not a forum junkie, just a Poly junkie, thanks to my idiot brother, Thubbin.

The Illuminatus trilogy is by Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea. It's a comedy about the mother of all conspiracies. It's definately one of the most confusing books I've ever read, but it's worth it. It woulda shaped my life if I hadn't run afoul of those damned commies (I was very suggestable at the time).

Well, you see, I had to tell people that I didn't believe that I had read this thread. In order to do that, I had to reply to it, what probably was not the smartest move at all, considering that now I'm acting like a fool trying to explain why I should have posted here to tell that I should never post here, because I should not have read this thread in the first place.

Whatever.

Hello!

Keep it simple.
Look into a latin or philosophical dictionary to learn that humour means wetness.
(I'd always thought "juices")
Use the basic wetness.
