How to Be More Humorous in Chat Rooms

Some people think that you have to be a professional comedian to be funny, but everyone has an innate sense of humor. Being funny online is a great way to make friends. When you make people smile you can really make their day better and have a ripple effect of happiness on the world. Follow these tips to be funny online!

It’s About Compatibility

Everyone has their own sense of humor and some people have different types. There are people who enjoy dark humor, those who enjoy romantic humor, and others who just like to laugh at silly stuff. If one person doesn’t enjoy your humor, that doesn’t mean you are not funny. It simply means that you haven’t found someone who is compatible with what you think of as funny. Just keep trying online until you find someone else who laughs at your jokes. That person is out there!

Avoid Negative Jokes

You might think it is funny to make fun of someone, but really, it is not. Even if someone that you make fun of laughs at your joke, they might feel hurt on the inside. Making jokes at other people’s expense could also get you labeled as a troll or a trouble starter. Some chat rooms even have rules against making jokes about people, so it could get you kicked out of the chat room!

Another thing to note is that it can be a bit hard to discern what someone means in text format, so don’t make sarcastic jokes without letting people know that you are trying to be sarcastic.

Use Visual Aids

When you are trying to be funny, you could use a visual aid like a silly GIF or meme to illustrate your point. Most chat rooms these days allow you to post different forms of media like images, videos, or even audio files. Use these tools to make your point even more hilarious and really make people laugh. If you are using a meme try your best to credit the original creator of the work in a chat room.

Didn’t Succeed? Try Again!

Just because your joke doesn’t land the first time doesn’t mean that you aren’t funny. If it doesn’t work out the first time try again and keep trying until you get the laughs that you are looking for. If you are trying to become funnier, learning what people like and how they react to your jokes could be a great benefit to in-person joke delivery.
