How to be funny

[DoctorChainsaw]

What bubbles and scratches at glass? A baby in a microwave.

[AmericaDevil]

1:32 I don't know about that, I can find situational humor based around LSD experiences for instance, without having ever dropped acid, and I'm sure there's a style of humor found in explanation itself.

[AngryAussie]

@AmericaDevil You go right ahead and try that

[vickiormindyb]

Some people are naturally funny. Like Robb.

He's not trained in how to be comedic. He knows a famous comedian, IDK how, and he thinks that guy's funny even when he's not trying to be.

I think HE'S funny, even though he's not a famous comedian.

After all, most financial people are dead boring, but he's not boring at all.

He's not uptight either.

His friend, Dave, is all right too, but he's not naturally funny.

[turysforever]

u cant learn to be funny it comes naturatly or someone shoves a funny pill up ur ass

[AngryAussie]

@turysforever You're actually completely wrong - performing of any type is skill that can be taught, some are simply better at it than others.

[PIatinum]

Whats a thunderbird?

[ashleysagen]

i am funny and on my dates i am funny u cant be lame and thats retard if you lame and one day i was on my date i just say alot a stuff ramdom :)

[AngryAussie]

@ashleysagen You know that doesn't make any sense at all, right?

[vickiormindyb]

I have a friend who told a joke he knew wasn't funny and, when people didn't laugh, he said 'Comedy's rough.'

Then they laughed for real.

I was LMAO when he told me that.

[AngryAussie]

@vickiormindyb A common thing to say when you don't get a laugh is "tough crowd"

[bbqonmysamich]

@AngryAussie or you could say " that sounded funnier in my head"

[ObsurdityReformed17]

@bbqonmysamich

I tend to say that a lot... then again... i have no internal filter....

[syedsolidsnake]

thunderbirds? mysterions hell what r u 59??

[AngryAussie]

You young whippersnappers just don't appreciate the good old days.

[unknownsungod3]

there so pathetic! their friggen like some nerd eating there own feces to play a stupid game! and they try to pull up some stupid accent (not you ) but everyone can tell they been rehearsin. no i wil not calm down!

[AngryAussie]

Fair enough

[unknownsungod3]

you know most people either have old jokes or random crap. their either really boring or really wierd like "my nipples are hard'. or they tell jokes about what people no nothing about.

[AngryAussie]

You're obviously beyond help.

[Daye04]

I can't tell you how many times people have told something wich I really didn't think was funny. And after they were done telling you the joke, they go "you would have had to be there to get the joke"

"Yeah, well then why are you telling me the joke?"

[AngryAussie]

It probably wasn't their intention to upset you

[TheoldNintendo]

I eat cheese....and squirt milk out my penis

[AngryAussie]

Good for you

[DocBrewster]

Does it shit you that "communtiy channel" gets 100 times more views even though you are 100 time smarter?

Cos it shits me!

[AngryAussie]

I don't waste time being jealous of other people's success.

[Alexraz01]

your langauge is very offensice (hang over movie ) LOL

[AngryAussie]

OK then

[MercuryRis]

My favorites are people who are funny but dont realize it, and get pissed when you laugh at them...BTW you had me laughing all afternoon.

[AngryAussie]

I can see how that would annoy people.

[PatriotEnoch]

I am trying my hand at comedy now...Just can't take this conspiracy crap seriously anymore...as the conspirators and those up in arms about it all are (for the most part) Bonkers, and maybe even dangerous!?! So I am going to poke fun at both sides of that divide and countless other ones as well...as it is my personal belief that every human being is in essence a piece of shit...some just don't smell as bad as the others. LOL.

[AngryAussie]

Human nature is a rich topic for comedy

[benbutterell]

"People ask me how to be funny" they are being sarcastic buddy, dont take all your comments literally! People can get hurt that way

[AngryAussie]

Go play in the traffic. You won't get hurt. Honest

[PatriotEnoch]

Sarcasm does not carry well in print...after I got dressed down like for the fifth time I began adding (insert sarcasm here>) but just post afew sarcastic comments without it on a conspiracy vid or two I'm sure you'll figure it out. And purell works great as a mastubatory lubricant! Try it, it's great!

[Spectic]

You can't forget that the basis of humour is irony. You have to make it something a person wouldn't logically expect. Although it gets a bit weird when the same joke performed in slight variations continues to amuse. Ah the complexities of the human spyche.

[AngryAussie]

Irony is not the "basis" of humour, it's a form of humour.

[Spectic]

I disagree. People laugh because they are surprised with the outcome of something (eg it defies the social and ideological norms). The only humour I can think of that could be said to exclude irony would be slapstick, but that even in a way is irony, as the characters are always unrealistically clumsy and make painful mistakes an ordinary person should theoretically never make, or make on a much less regular basis.

[AngryAussie]

Being a factard does not help advance comedy

[Spectic]

Never said it did. I wasn't trying to be funny. As you said, explanations of humour are not funny, but it simply explains why some things are.

[PianoColinGuitar]

A.A,

You say everything I say and feel but with an amazing Australian Accent.. Thank you

haha

[AngryAussie]

I say it so you don't have to :)

[khan0plinger]

i lold :)

[AngryAussie]

Good!

[Schnappi1936]

Hmm, my photo was taken at 70 ,so I will leave my friends to judge if I look funny.

[Schnappi1936]

I get called your funny.

Apparently through ignoring peeps.

[AngryAussie]

Or is it funny looking?

[Akianar]

I make ppl laugh but ppl never make me laugh

[AngryAussie]

Sounds like you have issues

[braybraymitchface]

Issues or syphillis? I leave you to decide.

[Enshidia]

Wasn't Captian Scarlet that show on ABC2 a few years back about some guy who was indestructable and he was with a bunch o' other ppl named after colours and it was CG...I remember something like that.

And your right, explaining a joke is the complete opposite of funny.

[AngryAussie]

Yes, that's Captain Scarlet

[kayman92]

The one in CGI was a remake

[b00b00bs]

I keep catching my dad watching your videos. It's awesome hearing your voice echo through my house.

<33

I still love you, sir.

[AngryAussie]

Say thanks to your dad for me :)

[AngryAussie]

I'm thinking of making my own version

[AngryAussie]

Cheers

[CanaanSGl]

Hmmm....Golden Shower

Maybe R Kelly can paint my car that color

[AngryAussie]

I'm sure he could

[c11h17n2o2sna]

Psychologists have said that people only laugh in two situations: when they are surprised or when they feel superior.

[AngryAussie]

And of course psychologists are the finniest people on the planet

[korona3103]

Comedy is created when the expected course of events is subverted... that's what I find anyway...

[AngryAussie]

Surprise!

[Gippslander]

I think there's a fine balance of making something relatable but approaching it from an angle that no-one else has thought of. I get a bit sick of comedy that claims to be observational like "What is it with airline peanuts?" (I don't know or care) or "Have you ever noticed how dogs are really hairy?" (Yes, so what?) You have to say something recognisable, but new.

Just in case that's too intellectual....

How could you not mention farts? Farts are the funniest thing ever!

[AngryAussie]

I forgot to mention originality

[TheColts99]

Wow!

[OhCurt]

Knowing what to leave out when telling a personal story - I've noticed that this is a common challenge for some vloggers who are trying to be funny.

Tough call sometimes.

As for smut & innuendo - isn't that what Twitter is for?

[AngryAussie]

I think it's often true that less is more

[AngryAussie]

That sounds good

[jungleman68]

over 9000 subscribers.

detective conan o'brien the barbarian

what's up doctor dre

where in the world is ______

ooh what does this button do

television will rule the nation around the world one more time when daft punk releases it's funky new movie tron (not funny)

this is based on one thing you said.

[AngryAussie]

Doesn't look familiar to me

[jungleman68]

i think i got it wrong

[gribae]

Government election processes - that's the real joke.

[vickiormindyb]

The guy we're spending Thanksgiving with is hilarious, and it seems like he's hardly putting any effort into accomplishing it.

He was making chirping noises yesterday, and he sounded just like a damn bird. It started driving the kitty crazy, and she began meowing. Then she started racing all over the house looking for a bird that doesn't exist.

Talk about annoying a mean kitty the nice way. Tho I'm not sure SHE thought it was nice.

It was hilarious though.

[AngryAussie]

Some people are better at it than others

[holyswordchannel]

I think a sense of humour and being funny, isn't something that can be taught - just like homosexuality (supposedly) it's something your born with... (for the record, i got nothing against homos)

[AngryAussie]

Actually you certainly can teach someone how to be funny. But you need the right teacher.

[VortexNeurofunk]

hey mate.. that reverb had not enough HF dampening and was a bit tinny because of it also it could have done with more space and be a little less wet :)

fuck i love doing that!

[AngryAussie]

Enjoy yourself!

[VortexNeurofunk]

oh i will! dont u worry about that ;)

[TheFatAussieBarstard]

Supercar was my favourite mate...lolol...

[AngryAussie]

Totally lost on these kids of course!

[TheFatAussieBarstard]

hahaha...sodomy wins every time mate...lol..

[AngryAussie]

Thanks for sharing mate ;)

[imTKA]

I loled hard! "People of earth, you people are dicks!" i totally get what you're saying, but saying something relatable is ok but you also want to show a weird side of your humor, and it sometimes works with people, i tell them the screwed up things in my head which i think are funny, and they sorta get it, just have to find the right crowd, or tell it to anyone and put an innuendo at the end, just to distract them:)

[AngryAussie]

Different sorts of humour work for different people

[andymooseman]

Well, i thought that was funny. But, then i'm old enough to remember Thunderbirds etc first time around.

What about Stingray? :)

[AngryAussie]

Even more obscure!

[dragonknight96]

your saying what i think but i didn't know how to say it that way. :D

[AngryAussie]

It's what I do

[roobertmay]

aussie misteron.

[AngryAussie]

Indeed

[bumtownallstars]

good video, i know what you're saying.. i cant make "sword of truth" or "dune" jokes ever

[AngryAussie]

That's pretty obscure

[xblBridge]

What can black ppl never get?

Black Eyes, Swollen lips, and a job.

[VortexNeurofunk]

racist jokes.. just arent funny.. to most people however i find them to be quite amusing!

[thepersonguy01]

lol yeah...

[shaolinblade]

lol love the captain scarlet gag.. Terrahawks was also an awesome show.

[AngryAussie]

Very different shows

[nintendolunchbox]

was it from Forgetting Sarah Marshal? they have a song in there called inside of you.

[MadBoyJones]

haha, thats so funny :P

[AngryAussie]

No idea

[thest3alth]

Captain Scarlet used to really scare me.

[AngryAussie]

It's pretty intense

[Ellie4MuselOl]

hahaha LOL

[VidsOfMike]

I'm funny every day =D

[AngryAussie]

Good for you

[Cookiez255]

Why are black people so tall? Because their knee grows.

[dave28lax]

My problem is I'm funny (peculiar), not funny (ha ha).

[AngryAussie]

There's a lot of that

[wdgeo]

I find that the secret to being funn... TIMING!

[AngryAussie]

Exactly

[SkullXII]

Hahah, yeah totally. I always think of the PERFECT joke to make, albeit thirty seconds too late.

[AnarchyAnonymous]

Loved Joe 90 and Captain Scarlet.

[AngryAussie]

Great shows!

[jabjazjabbajazza]

If you want to turn some heads at a party, tell this joke

Whats bruised, battered and hates sex?

A rape victim!

[IAmMusicsBitch]

try telling someone a story like:

the other day i was raping a woman when she screamed, "please! think of my children!"

kinky bitch.

[binkiie4dictator]

how do you know if your girlffriend is under age? because you have to make airoplane sounds before she will open her mouth to swallow

[IAmMusicsBitch]

i was talking to my girlfriend the other day when she asked, "when can we go back to Portugal to see mummy and daddy?"

[binkiie4dictator]

two guys sat at a bar, the first guy turns to his mate and says, "i bet you $1000 that i can have any woman in here that i want". his mate says, "oh yeah?, what makes you think your gods gift to women?". the first guy replies....."because i am a rapist".

[Sonicisunleashed2008]

Well if im gonna get expelled i might as well start somewhere:

"What do ya call Jesus's poo?"

"Wha-?"

"Holy Shit......."

*crikets*

[Intervene]

lol.

[Sonicisunleashed2008]

Lol nice T-shirt, i wish i had one so i could wear it at a school muffty day. Then again i would probably be expelled. (stupid christian school *grumbles*....)

[AngryAussie]

It's a fave

[GutzMcStabby]

Yawn

Heard these on BlogTV :P

but its MUCH better with the deep voice bit haha.

[AngryAussie]

The magic of editing

[serridgeas]

i love captin scarlet lol they remade it recently in the uk

[AngryAussie]

I didn't see that

[serridgeas]

[Pfoffie]

[AngryAussie]

Glad to hear it

[MarkusMcMidget]

Hey Andrew, how many videos did you make before you were asked to become a Youtube Partner?

[AngryAussie]

The partnership didn't exist until I'd been on here for 2 years

[mylovelydame21]

Ahhh... nothing is quite as funny as a sexual inuendo joke.

[AngryAussie]

Always funny

[Doomedlight]

Nah, Golden Shower would be a better name.

Captain Scarlot is really cool, I don't really watch it, but when ever I do - I enjoy it.

That is funny ~ "...You guys are suck dicks!"

[AngryAussie]

That would be fun to do

[pbrskater26]

What dose pink floyd and dale eurnhart have in commen? Their greatest hits were The Wall!!!

[AngryAussie]

Boom tish!

[Kipfan410]

I missed you Mr. Angry!

[AngryAussie]

I didn't go away

[Kipfan410]

Very true, I just had a horrible computer that I didnt replace until recently!

[ILoveBears86]

........now is that funny or is that funny.

[ILoveBears86]

What do you call 2 lesbian natives?

Fur Traders

What job do you have Mr. Angry?

I don't know but one things for sure is that I'll never be a doctor.

I just don't have the patients

[N4M3L3SS3NT1TY]

How do gay pirates ask for a handjob?

"Shiver me timber!"

[ILoveBears86]

How does a thief workout?

He shoplifts

[AngryAussie]

Ouch

[Jefro999]

hehe, hows the heat going down there now? it's fuck off hot here in nsw

[AngryAussie]

We finally got a break

[wallofmindlessness48]

I thought the Mysteron joke was funny....

[AngryAussie]

Thanks

[ohcalcutta81]

I alternately have a really dry and a really nonsensical sense of humor that relies a lot on just plain absurdity, so a lot of the times people will have no idea why I find something so funny, or I'll make some kind of joke and nobody else will seem to have any idea what I'm talking about haha.

[AngryAussie]

Absurdism is fun

[SporadicTime]

The lyric I heard whilst sitting and drinking a smoothie in Port Douglas April 2003, coming from a nearby music store was

" God I need a Screw" At track on a CD by De Phazz.

The album was Death by Chocolate the track was HeartFixer

I bought the CD and have been a fan of De Phazz ever since :)

[AngryAussie]

Sometimes it isn't a mistake ;)

[SporadicTime]

I'm there with you on all Gerry Anderson productions, including Torchy. Space 1999, UFO, Fireball XL5, Joe90, ThunderBirds, Stingray (Anything can happen in the next half hour), Super Car

Oh what a happy childhood I had :)

[SporadicTime]

This is the voice of the mysterons

We know you can hear us earthmen

Captain Black

[AngryAussie]

They did some awesome stuff

[Tracymmo]

I don't know any of these shows, but I laughed my ass off, especially at the Misteron voice. I've never heard of the show, but I could imagine it. I looked up the show on YouTube, and it looks great! The clip titled "Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons TV intro (1967-68)" had the booming voice as at 1:08. And I'm still laughing imagining it getting pissed off!

[AngryAussie]

It's how my mind works :)

[Tracymmo]

Hey, I found a full episode and watched. I LOVED it! Wish they had aired that show in the States in the 70s. And how about that Gay Pride rainbow logo?

[AngryAussie]

Yeah, that's pretty special

[ColhanRantQueen]

I've never heard of the series you talked about, but the Captain Scarlet joke I still found funny since the delivery was good and the last one was funny just because of the situation involved with it XD

I think I'll check Captain Scarlet out it sounds interesting.

[AngryAussie]

I had to do the long setup :)

[AngryAussie]

OK then

[khan0plinger]

yeah you don't have to be funny, your shirts always are.

[AngryAussie]

I live through my shirts

[TheFirstFallenAngel1]

You have the best things in the world: your shirt and you singing 'inside of me'...:}

[AngryAussie]

I should release it as a single

[panthergirl1256]

I loved the analogy with frogs and jokes!

[AngryAussie]

Not my idea :)

[PoliticalMason]

Sodomy jokes rule! That was a magnificent finish with the 10 year-old bit. xD

[AngryAussie]

The scary thing is, it's true.

[HeidiSaid]

You say what I think but I could never say it like that...

(I'm sorry... it was just too easy) ;)

[AngryAussie]

You're welcome :)

[PyroNinja713]

I've never even heard of that people of earth thing and even though you were explaining it I was lmao the whole time. could just be the weed tho.

[AngryAussie]

That could be it

[obglobgablob]

The sodomy/golden shower thing isn't your fault. People are bombarded with that much lurid, grotesque material and themes on the internet that they're basically aclimated to that kind of content. What do you think registers in most people's minds when they glance at the phrase "child photography"?

[PyroNinja713]

lol i had to reread that like 5 times before i even realized it didn't say pornography.

[obglobgablob]

My point exactly.

[AngryAussie]

I have no idea what you mean about lurid internet sites

[cookie852]

Why did Sally fall off the tree?

Cos somebody through a fridge at her

=)

[AngryAussie]

Ummm OK
