Having a good sense of humor is one of the most valuable life skills you can have. It plays a role in nearly every aspect of life—90% of men and 81% of women say it’s the most important quality in a partner, it’s essential for being a successful leader, and studies have even shown it can enhance cancer treatments. But making people laugh isn’t always easy unless it comes naturally, which raises the question: can it actually be improved?

I love how everyone signs up for a gym membership in January, and it's quite full up until March. Then, it's like a ghost town

I am doing cardio daily for a couple of years now. They told me that when I will get into it I will start enjoying it. I guess it takes more than a couple of years then.

At 70 years old I discovered daily swimming lowers my arthritis pain, wakes me up, and energizes me. I now get irritable if I miss a daily swim.
Bored Panda got in touch with Nigerian actor and stand-up comedian Emmanuel Ahiaba, also known as MC Youngee, to find out if becoming funnier is an impossible task. According to him, it’s not only achievable but surprisingly simple.
“It’s not rocket science,” MC Youngee says. “Being funny isn’t as difficult as people make it out to be.” He sees the biggest hurdle as the mental barriers we create for ourselves. Often, he explains, overthinking or fearing judgment holds us back from experimenting with our sense of humor or trying out new jokes. Instead of shying away from improvement, he encourages taking a curious approach and giving yourself the freedom to explore what makes others laugh.
“When you’re too sensitive, you create a wall for yourself,” he notes. “That wall stops you from doing what you want and expressing yourself freely.”
MC Youngee himself never thought comedy would be in his future—at least not until he was a student in secondary school and crossed paths with MC Longs, a seasoned professional in the field.
MC Longs urged him to give it a try, but Youngee resisted for the longest time, unsure if it was the right fit. Eventually, though, he gave in—and now that it’s his career, he doesn’t regret it for a second.
Looking back, he’s thankful that MC Longs convinced him to take that leap. “I’ll always be grateful to him for pushing me to discover my hidden potential,” he says.
MC Youngee thinks comedy is one of the best ways to share your thoughts on any topic without being afraid to be cheeky or witty—because, in the end, it’s all just a joke. “I love the freedom of expression that comes with it,” he says. “And knowing that, as a comedian, you’re also a social commentator whose input can help change the world.”

That’s because it isn’t. The 9PM of your younger days is not the same 9PM of your older days.

Try working overnight and sleeping during the day. Now taking a day off to go to appointments doesn't even help. You just don't get to have any sleep that day . . .
However, if you’re still finding your footing with your sense of humor, Youngee suggests avoiding saying anything offensive. Comedy is a delicate balance, and pulling off a risky joke depends entirely on how you deliver it.
“That’s the key—it has to be done right,” he says. “If you present the joke the right way, it won’t offend people because they’ll understand it’s meant to make them laugh. The intention isn’t to hurt anybody.”

Instead of screaming, “I never asked to be born!” at your parents, try, “Why did you have to finish inside of mom?” That would go over well.

Most likely the majority of the customers have even less energy to request a refund even when a product doesn't meet their expectations.
If you want to come across as funnier among your friends, Youngee recommends creating more inside jokes. “That’s the easiest way to make them laugh,” he says. “You already share experiences and interests that are unique to your group. Bringing up those relatable details will help you grow closer.”

FWB is in it's own class where each one takes it, as well as give it!
Being a funny comedian on stage is a little different from being a funny friend, but MC Youngee sees comedy shows as an excellent source of inspiration to stretch your humor muscle. “Watch other comedians and find ones whose style resonates with you,” he advises. “Pay attention to why they make you laugh—notice their delivery, timing, and how the audience reacts.”

At the end of the day, you can stumble upon material for your jokes in the most unexpected places. “If you come across something amusing while reading or watching TV, make note of it,” MC Youngee says. “Funny things are everywhere if you know where to look.”

You. You stole from you. Pay yourself first (invest) before you have a chance to steal from yourself. Said a guy who is waiting for 5 different packages to arrive from Amazon... Do as I say...

Isn't the point of professional speech and writing to allow everyone the illusion that we're not all just making it up as we go along together?

My last guy: I really didn't feel anything for him after our first date, but then got upset when he didn't ask for a 2nd. I really didn't care, but HOW dare he!! I'm a great person, at least that is what my therapist says!! LOL!!

Starting a new job on your first day is another one of those life things that is incredibly embarrassing for no good reason. 🥲 I hate the first day of every new job. I love it when it gets to the point where you know everyone and everything and it’s super comfortable.

There’s a podcast I sometimes listen to called “Normal Gossip” and it’s basically just this, stories of 3rd party gossip from people you’ll never meet. But they’re absolutely wild sometimes and always really interesting 😂 if you’re an r/AITA stories fan you’ll probably enjoy it!

A guy I met once asked me once if I had any hobbies. I have about 20 hobbies. I ran down the list and told him to choose and he took off like a centipede with greased feet down a hot street.

My bf and I are long distance right now (we’ve been together since 2012 but spent the last few years apart, still going strong). We visit each other every other month and plan surprises. He’s coming here Dec 26th 😊 but in Feb when I visit him I’m booking a double date laser tag with us and his best friend & best friend’s girlfriend to surprise him. Shhh don’t tell!

Well I just went down a rabbit hole! I was confused because SPF50 is the highest we get in Australia. Apparently 'SPF50+ means at least 98% of UVR is blocked i.e. 98% is the minimum amount of UVR that needs to be blocked to attain this rating. In the USA, sunscreens can be rated up to SPF100 which means that 99% of UVR are blocked.'
