Ryan Reynolds: How To Think Of Hilarious Jokes In Seconds 

Same, just can't bring it out when not drunk though.

Same dude, but at least U got it in u,

Dude, come to Britain - we can help with both getting drunk and sarcasm! 👌🏻🤣

@@ashotofmercury sounds too good to be true…but I’m taking it

I love to be around extroverts. They love introverts.

Having met a few pro comics I've tended to find that because they enjoy and appreciate humour they tend to understand jokes better than most people, if you kind of fluff the joke they still get where it meant to go and see the funny bit of it where people who don't do jokes for a living miss it.

Most “professional comedians” are teeerrible

their actors rita. they haven't had a real emotion in years.

@@pitoblogg yep, that doesn't mean they can't get jokes tho.

@Dracco Princes dude it's the whole point of this comment thread 😂

Jimmy Fallon is fkn cringe city.

@@donedeal725 kind of part of his job.

*Do you mean absurdity by exaggeration?*

@@nesferd2435 he meant exactly what his comment says

Jimmy is never real. he's always fake lol

I like how your brain works cuz I thinkin stuff like this all the time! Like why do we laugh at all?! (It’s partially social but we also do it when we’re alone.) I love it!

Look up what behavioralists think is the evolutionary cause of laughter in humans, its a fkn trip and a half

Or cause a tantrum on social media.

New book idea- thanks haha

Also, I was thinking about this recently: Look at the rest of this message, but don't read it. Just observe the words without comprehending their meaning. You can't do it can you? It's crazy how we were born unable to read but now we can't not read. Theoretically, if you did anything enough times, it would become literal second nature and you would have no control over it.

I got hired because I looked like a school marm, but during the interview I guess I made a rude/suggestive comment or joke and revealed my self to be a dirty old lady in disguise! Hired ON THE SPOT! Just be yourself, the others might catch on. Good on 'em if the do!

Dude, ur MARVEL and Star Wars Breakdowns are really well done, I’m impressed, keep it up 👍

Shut up, just a little bit jelly that u weren't the first! 😎🤗🤫

Legend has it they’re still celebrating their accomplishment, worthy of commendation.

Impressive

You nailed it! I'm a lead singer in a punk rock group and I often crack my audience up with funny little stories about my wife and kid in between songs. Later though, at home I'm pretty much in the doghouse all the time, getting the cold shoulder from my wife. My daughter also seems untrusting and I find her often looking at me with suspicious eyes when we are together in car rides and she thinks I'm watching the road. Oh well, too bad they don't accept my affable personality the same way my loyal fans do. I'm not gonna change who I am because of a few close family members who don't get me. Ryan and this channel rock! 🤘

I also use self-deprecating humor a lot. They're laughing with you laughing at yourself.

Excellent reply.

Square people don't get self deprecating humor: they take everything at face value. Square is square.

If you cant laugh at yourself, life is going to seem a whole lot longer than you'd like. - Natalie Portman

I was sure there wasn't another Aspie in here until I found this....lol I'm a natural communicator from all the years of being thrown headfirst into socializing! I still love watching the explanation of things I do when I have fun with others :D

Apparently girls love guys who make them laugh... sadly for me it's only when I take my clothes off

*Do you mean absurdity by exaggeration?*

and then theyre staring at you like wtf is the matter and that makes you laugh harder and you have to do the nvm wave off...

Man, that's truly just me being awkward

You got the whole way through that one and I laughed at the end;)

On the bright side... ...you've got the self amusement part down

...except yours is the only comment I literally laughed out loud reading. Some people are good at writing humor...

R u on the progressive commercials???????

No... childish is incredibly annoying. Ryan is not childish. He's actually skilled at it.

@@krisvq that's fair, I normally come off as childish but ultimately until we meet there's no way to know the extent. Ryan has been extremely helpful in channeling the fun-loving nature j try to exude into a charming presence and I appreciate him for it

every adult is still a child inside, if your showing childish frivolity and your adult customers feel comfortable and like it, they will start doing it as well. The best type of interactions are sometimes acting like a kid, because the other person will feel at ease, because your being you and your have taken your guard down, they can do the same

real-life example a few weeks back: i talk via teams to a group of ppl who are our clients. we are talking about a bill volume of 6 or even 7 digits for the project that THEY will spend with us (we will do the job). I am the guy who is going through all the requirements with them... checking if everything is thought out, make suggestions on how to achieve X and Y etc. now, my headset is somewhat broke, has a loose wire and so sometimes the mic drops... so it happend again, they already knew abou it and were just like "oh alex, your mic again..." -- so i clap the mic a few times until the sound is back and then i am like "ah damn, i really need a new headset... alexa! order me a new headset [i wait deliberatly 2 secs] ... i just realized, i don't have alexa" ... group is having a good time... back to topic of 7 digits volume. it is way not the only joke i brought up, i even made some jokes regarding their CEOs and so (would be too long to elaborate) -- we are really on good terms, i like them, i've been told in other, higher-up meetings, me and a colleague of mine who is working on this aswell are reported there as a pleasure to work with. i must say, of course there is also competence in the field, after all they are not there to be entertained but to get a multi-country online store up and will have to perform at least at the current level... but i'd say that they appreciate being entertained at the same time ;) i don't know if you really need that advice, so i'll write it down just for the general audience: emotions help with learning. that's why frontal teaching is so ineffective (it is pretty boring to listen to somebody and just inhale the knowledge). however, you can make sure that ppl keep the important parts when you make them connect emotionally to what you are saying, so that they have this additional reference. so put something important around a funny story for example that make ppl laugh and later, instead of refering to the topic directly, just refer to something from the joke and voila, ppl also remember the actual topic behind it -- just be sure not to make the whole meeting a laughing stock, in that case you are just entertaining, not teaching :)

😎💪🏾💪🏾

what a legend

Ok we know this you should have explained what are those methods

@@MortyMortyMorty bro shut up how about you go to make a comment and explain everything in detail

@@MortyMortyMorty talking about we know this I didn't know it until I looked down at the comments so speak for yourself buddy

it’s all about your self worth. You’re not gonna be able to win people over and the people you do will respect your mind, humor and thoughts. you’re confident enoughto say your thoughts in a clear direct manner, confident enough to understand that not everything you say will get the reaction you want, and strong enough to not take things to heart

Do the loud part, skip the sarcastic attempts at humor.

To be fair, I'm an introvert and often loud. I learned a long time ago that there is vulnerability in being a wallflower. Being loud and dominating the conversation and general mood of a space affords the power to control the actors in that space. So, as an introvert, I can do more to proactively control my (emotional) distance by being dominant rather than quietly hoping only social interactions that I find comfortable occur.

@@matthewharrison3265 I tried that. I don't feel good about it though

@@missy9279 Just study other introverts who are very likeable, like Keanu Reeves. That way, you can remain authentic. Also, "if you're not willing to be a fool, you can't be a master". I frequently can make the whole room laugh, but sometimes: I just get crickets. Like rejection, you just kind of have to become comfortable with that. Not everything you do, is going to be a hit.

That sounds funny

Do you mean absurdity by exaggeration?

@@nesferd2435 Don't buy into his nonsense. I go to the same school as Samuel and he's one of those annoying people who is constantly trying to be funny by awkwardly inserting his premeditated/rehearsed stories, acting as if they were off the cusp antic dotes, much like Ryan Reynolds does on his little talk show visits. Of course, Ryan Reynolds' audience has a "Laugh" sign to help make his BS sound funny, but not Samuel Merkel. Sam just pretty much makes others around him cringe non-stop.

@@Rick-the-Swift how to make people laugh? joke is a paradox? "strange" "unusual"?

@@nesferd2435 That's correct.

@@Rick-the-Swift so Ryan is using the same theory that you just confirmed, what's the problem then?

imo, it’s not fun to be around people who only complains about their life. their negativity can be exhausting and it may seem like their looking for attention/pity. rather than complain about their live a lot, i would rather see someone do something about it. life doesn’t get better by chance, it gets better by change.

@Aryan SINHA Possibly yeah. Tbh Jake told me this like 2 years after he met Bob, I don't remember the deets of their interactions. I saw what he was talking about though. Sometimes people are just incompatible that's just how it is.

Jake is a doofus

@@Riverdale270 I'll tell him.

This could really be due to the specific of two groups mixing. If you are with your group of friends, people knowing your sense of humour, you do not need to put heavy signals while being sarcastic, while if you are with new people it is necessary to signal sarcasm more clearly. At the same time, on the receiving end, if you are new in a group you tend to make less assumption and you will be looking more carefully for potential sarcasm. However, this was a peculiar situation: Bob, You, and Jake. Both Bob and Jake feels they are majority: Bob and You, that's 2 over 3. You and Jake, that's also 2 over 3. Improvising an ASCII Venn's diagram (1[1)1]. Bob is used to the fact you know his sense of humour, and he does not feel he has to put strong signals. Jake knows your sense of humour, and he is not expecting the new guy not to follow what he perceives as the "group routines". It's very easy to have misunderstandings in those (1[1)1] situations.

The smartest comment i have read for a while

You-sir, are a legend! Unfortunately, we no longer have a free society in the USA.

never will happen while were alive

how is this relevant to the video? Also, it's not something you came up with. I have no idea why that guy called you a legend

@@user-qi7kk7su3l I am sorry if I hurt your feelings. The bottom line of the videos is about attracting people to yourself and making them like you, which inspired my comment.

*Do you mean absurdity by exaggeration?*

Not to mention the whole concept of "how to make people like your made-up character that you found instructions for on RU-vid". It's quite worrying to take such measures for the sake of "making people like you".

I totally agree with both of u .. its almost offensive theres a "charisma university" charging you money to help u be a con artist.. im sure 90% of the customers are predators trying to trick ppl into dating them before they realize there with an abusive sociopath.. Oh and one more thing, there aDvertising budget was all dedicated to 10 clips of Ryan Renolds in televised interviews.. im sure scripts arent allowed in these settings with talk show hosts...

@@daydaydful this is not true, as matter of fact you could be enjoying your conversations way more if you actually follow the above concepts and be a bit more playful with your conversations.

@@worldlinx thats something u develop naturally over time i dont think they could be practiced and applied in real world scenarios..

@@daydaydful I’m talking out of personal experience. There’s a lot of material and books written over improving social interactions. I have studied and practiced these. :) check out ‘David de Angelo’

*Do you mean absurdity by exaggeration?*

If you go back to the days of the old Studios in Hollywood it was all about personality and not necessarily great acting chops. That is, stars were built out of their own personalities and they developed great acting abilities based on themselves. So the biggest stars became brands, using aspects of their core personalities. You can get great performances from actors with range but most are a familiar brand. We accept different James Bond actors only if they play him as themselves and can make Bond believeable. Movie stars always play to their own brand.

Covid.

Was there a comedic pause before the punchline?

I find that 1-2 beverages into a social gathering , my wit engages without fear of judgement. My spiritual gift of sarcasm weaves in & around others during conversation. So much fun to see others shake with laughter when they're involved with the set-up. Have to keep reined in enough to make it fun, nonthreatening, and a wee bit self-deprecating. It can be a bit tricky during church socials since I'm protestant. I find a fake Irish accent helps when you're reading Job aloud. An Irish brogue "Gird up your loins like a man." is humor gold to we women.

I use sarcasm so much, some people can't tell the difference between "sarcastic" me, and "regular" me. I could use that sarcasm sign from the BBT clip.

Are you curious about the people you meet❓ Because all it really takes is showing a genuine interest in getting to know someone and being candid about yourself while you’re at it 😉

AGREED!!!

I have a hard time separating him from his roles in the John Hughes era. He was protrayed as a spineless slime ball, the original trustafarian who just blindly protected his social status. Know it's fictional, not who he was/is, but it defined him for a long time. Guess I should give him the B.O.D. & really watch Blacklist. That many seasons must mean something.

Would love that!

*Do you mean absurdity by exaggeration?

Yea, he's a genuine asset to the human race! Funny, talented, good looking...You gotta wonder what Scarlett Johanson's problem was right? I wasn't built like a brick shithouse then but that's like the only thing that changed before and after.

You can be better tho. I'm sure he practices and thinks of his jokes ahead of time

Charisma and charm can be learned. But you don’t need to have the charisma of Ryan Reynolds. Just start practicing social skills. Have more conversations with people and try to correct yourself after each step of the process, remembering always that you will not win everyone, and you should not to. With time, you will found a natural charisma of you, a charisma that will not be necessarily equal of the Ryan Reynolds, but yes a charisma that you are comfortable to, something that is not based on people’s opinions. Do that, and you will be in “charisma ville”.

He was born with it! Due to the planetary and celestial alignments at play at the time of his birth. Myself and anyone else I've met with a very similar birth chart to ours is naturally this way. However, it is not celebrated by everyone and in my case it is considered a character flaw and a behavioral disorder. So I agree with ya 100%.

@@hazzbberry For me, this is the only step in the video with any value. A step by step guide to make people like you is unhealthy and useless. It's best to work on liking yourself, so when you truly know who you are, that natural calmness will come and you will be relaxed enough to enjoy yourself in conversation with people. And, by extension, people will enjoy themselves in conversation with you. A nervous little person running around trying too hard to be memorable is a turn off.

Same here. I'm usually quiet in a group of people and just observe what's going on and being said. Then I'll interject what I think is a cute or mildly amusing comment and everybody laughs their heads off. I'm actually kind of shocked when that happens. I thought about doing stand-up comedy, but I can't write "funny"; I guess I'm only funny spontaneously. 😕

@@nylasorj I love it when people are spontaneously funny

This. Exactly. If I ever *try* to be funny, it falls flat, but once in a blue moon I will say something in all seriousness and the entire room laughs uproariously, leaving me dazed and wondering what was so funny 🤷🏻‍♀️ Then again, I’m also that person who when watching movies with others, gets strange looks because they don’t laugh when everyone else does; they laugh when something strikes them as funny, even though it doesn’t strike anyone else that way 🤦🏻‍♀️

@@HopeUnquenchable I wish I could make a room laugh on purpose. I think many of us do.

Is that an original joke or did you hear it somewhere? Because it is really funny and I hope to use it also, thanks!
