I a funny man: What way am I funny !?

Post Reply New Topic

When I was out with one of my workmates and his friend, I was on good NT behaviour mode. Compared with some of the other who was without any decorum, because of the amount of alcohol consumed. I was not taking the conversation much beyond Smalltalk. One the guys said I am funny, he like my style.

I said, ”I am funny guy, what way am I; it wasn’t a joke I was telling; I had no intention to make you laugh.”

I didn’t know until afterwards I was sounding a little aggressive, but to me I just wanted to know because I was on good NT behaviour and if it wasn’t working I just wanted to know. My work mated said sounded like one of the gangsters from a gangster movie, can’t remember it’s name.

That would be Joe Pesci in GoodFellas. There is a scene (which gets quite tense, because you don't know whether or not he's going to smash in the face of the guy who said he was funny) where he says pretty much exactly the same thing as you did.

I've read we tend to be a bit more funny. Its something to do with the inability to socialize or weird responses to normal question or whatever

I've been told I am funny. After hearing it from the limited people I know, I decided to actually look up what humour was and read a book on it. It told me nothing new but mainly made me aware of what it was I was doing (kind of like a 'did you ever notice this' type deal; Yes, I did notice that)

I'm also good at acting. In fact, I am so good at it, most people think, after I say something intentionally stupid, that I am, in fact, stupid. Or, I'll fake 'anger' and get mad at something I think is stupid and they'll tell me to 'calm down.' I know they just have to get used to me and how I'm serious about 1% of the time.

Its the best way for me to communicate, humour. If it's not humour then my mouth is normally shut

I get that all the time. It pisses me off when I am trying to say something serious and out of nowhere my friends start laughing at what I said. Usually it happens when I'm just being myself, if I was acting NT I would talk about things they take seriously and they wouldn't laugh.

I get that fairly often. I have had people trying as hard as they can to hold back their laughter as I explain to them that I'm not making a joke. But I take it in stride and go with it. If they think its funny, it gives me an opportunity to capitalize on it.

Its not a bad thing. If someone thinks you are funny, and they told you, they apparently think its a good thing. Perhaps a better word is entertaining. I know certain people that just make me want to crack up when I talk to them, even when they aren't making a joke, but it makes me like them, I'm not laughing AT them, like I think they are dumb or something. They just have a demeanor that is so different that it really stands out, in a good way

Another boon to being a "funny" guy, is that you know you can maximize that and people will laugh at your jokes.

I always liked the following lines....

"I am not laughing AT you,I am laughing WITH you"

to which I would reply....

"But I wasnt laughing."


People laugh AT or With me all the time(unless I try and tell a joke...then they just stare...)When I had a recent yearly review at work....my manager laughed when I was being dead serious about something.(treating my clients better then my fellow workers....I do that and they think it's "weird")I have heard that laughing is a way to dispel tension...I think people get nervous talking to me and their laughing is letting out some of that tension.

I like making people laugh.. I love it, but sometimes I feel I'm there only for entertainment purposes and it starts to bother me..

"When the clown isnt funny, whats left?"

Im good at making people laugh when i just make randome remarks without realising

I don’t mind making people laugh, but I must decide when.

There was one time one of the cleaners was taking away a the sanitary towel bin and I said what is that and she said sanitary towels. When she told me all gory details I pretended I didn’t believe it. And I knew this because I owned a female dog and she didn’t need any special treatment. I got extreme laughs.

The was another time, in the office I said to one of the regular office visitors who was dressed up nicely one day,” I said she look beautiful, you Can look pretty”. Back handed complement meaning, ”You not pretty most of the time, not until today”. I said,”what do you guys find funny I said nowt.”

Ho,yahh and there was the time I asked one of the office staff to go to dinner as a date, I said ”Would you like to come to dinner with me, you can eat as much as you can, I will pay for it all, if we go after Thursday at Micham branch they have a get two Bigmacks for the price of one”

When I do tell a joke, I can do it without laughing at it, that what makes it good.
