Lektion wird erstellt...
1
In today's video, we'll break down some jokes from Ryan Reynolds
2
and Ricky Gervais so you can learn how to make people laugh and love being around you.
3
There are two techniques you can use to make almost anyone laugh.
4
The first is surprise.
5
We laugh when someone subverts our expectations.
6
For example, watch this clip of Ricky hosting the Golden Globes.
7
On a serious note, just looking at all the faces here reminds me of some
8
of the great work that's been done this year by cosmetic surgeons.
9
That's an example of a sincerity fakeout.
10
You set expectations that you're going to say something sincere, then you undercut those expectations for a laugh.
11
Here's another example, listen to Ryan Reynolds talk about having Hugh Jackman in Deadpool 3.
12
These fake-out jokes aren't limited to just sincerity fake-outs.
13
For instance, any time you're asked a question with an obvious answer and you want to make people laugh, you can turn it into a fake-out joke.
14
For a funny example, watch Ricky Gervais talk with Piers Morgan about gun control.
15
You can basically steal his setup word for word.
16
If they were fully sighted and used a gun, just because they lost their sight, why should they lose the constitutional right to continue having a gun?
17
Yeah, well, it's a difficult one, but the short answer is because they can't see what they're shooting.
18
If you want to try these fake-out jokes in your own life, There's a little trick you can do to get a bigger laugh.
19
Take a one second pause before the punchline.
20
When you pause people unconsciously try to complete your sentence in their mind.
21
This makes it funnier when you fake out their expectations.
22
Wetting your bed is embarrassing as a child, but as an adult Wetting a child's bed is more to bother.
23
If this seems like it would be difficult for you There's an even easier way to make anyone laugh with surprise.
24
Wait for someone to ask you a question Think of what they expect you to say and then say the opposite.
25
How old are your girls now?
26
I have no idea.
27
Yeah.
28
But you did take a pause from making movies because you did want to spend more time at home.
29
How has that, have you been able to feel that with all of your other- Oh, it's been hell, Hoda.
30
I'm going right back to it.
31
I'm taking the first movie I can find.
32
When you can't think of the perfect opposite answer, you can also make people laugh with an absurd answer.
33
Now you don't want to just say something wacky that makes no sense.
34
The key is to ask yourself, what is the most absurd thing that could plausibly answer this question?
35
Oh no, but you look so calm.
36
I know, I had some of your hair in.
37
Beyond surprise, there's a second way you can make people laugh, specificity.
38
Specifically, you want to create a ridiculous mental image in the person's mind.
39
So for example, instead of saying, I don't like watching the news, you can say something like this.
40
The news is like, these days, is just like pouring piping hot lemon juice into your eyeballs.
41
Here's another example with Ricky Gervais.
42
If you just call someone pale, it probably won't get a laugh, so listen to what he says instead.
43
As a side note, once you find a joke that makes people laugh, you can store it away as a go-to joke for the future.
44
Comedians like Ryan and Ricky look quick on their feet, but often they're actually reusing a joke they've had success with before.
45
You are the whitest man I've ever met.
46
I imagine naked, you're nearly translucent.
47
Yeah.
48
Like you can see your heart like one of those little baby fish.
49
Now let's talk about a mindset that holds a lot of people back from being funny.
50
It's the belief that you are a failure if people don't laugh at every single one of your jokes.
51
This unrealistic mindset causes you to hold back from saying things that you find funny because you're scared other people won't laugh.
52
So you filter yourself, which creates that feeling of being stuck in your head.
53
This habit of censoring yourself, thinking what you have to say isn't good enough, is a poison that erodes your confidence over time.
54
You may not realize it, but it's the willingness to have a joke bomb that allows all the world's funniest people to build their quick wit.
55
Just as an example, watch how many times Ryan Reynolds riffs on a joke before making everyone laugh.
56
I will shove a red card so far up your ass people will think it's your tongue.
57
I will shove a red card so far up your ass we'll need a team of doctors to find my hand.
58
I will shove a red card so far up your ass you will be legally reclassified as a puppet.
59
Good job guys!
60
In your own life, you won't get the chance to try three different jokes in a row, but you can lower your filter.
61
Not everything you say will make people laugh, but you'll see what works and what doesn't, you'll become funnier over time, and you'll have more fun in conversation.
62
Now, so far in this video, we've covered a lot of sarcastic jokes.
63
The downside of sarcasm is you can accidentally come off as a jerk, especially if you're teasing people.
64
So what can you do to be seen as funny, not a bully?
65
One factor in this is how people perceive you pick the targets for your jokes.
66
A bully is someone whose jokes always target the weak or people they don't like.
67
If people see you making fun of yourself, too, they're less likely to feel picked on.
68
This is something you'll see both Ryan and Ricky do often.
69
For example, listen to Ryan talk about his gin company.
70
It's an American gin, a little smoother than its British counterparts, a little more drinkable.
71
Wow, I sound like a pro.
72
Yeah, you're actually good at that.
73
I really know nothing about gin.
74
If I ran the company for real, it would be on fire.
75
Similarly, Ricky Gervais is known for his brutal roasts, but he's just as brutal with his self-deprecating humor.
76
Getting caught in the zipper.
77
Does that mean this zipper?
78
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
79
Well, that's never happened.
80
Just one of the advantages of having a very small penis.
81
This doesn't mean you should be the butt of the joke every time, but if people see you occasionally tease yourself, they won't take it as personally when you tease them.
82
Another factor that influences whether people think you're funny or a jerk is what you tease.
83
Ricky Gervais is a professional comedian, so he roasts himself and others hard.
84
But in your own life, your best bet is to tease something that's unlikely to be an insecurity.
85
For example, listen to Ricky tease Leonardo DiCaprio in this next clip and watch Leo's reaction.
86
It wasn't the only epic movie.
87
Once upon a time in Hollywood, nearly three hours long, Leonardo DiCaprio attended the premiere and by the end his date was too old for him.
88
You should apply this kindness to yourself as well.
89
Tease yourself for things you aren't actually insecure about, so you're comfortable with other people doubling up on the joke.
90
This will depend entirely on your own level of thick skin and your sense of humor.
91
Here's a great example of this with Ryan Reynolds teasing himself.
92
I think what makes other people laugh is me standing next to you anywhere because you make me look like Timothee Chalamet.
93
You're right.
94
Obviously Ryan isn't ashamed of being smaller than The Rock, and that's what makes a great tease, something that makes people laugh, not something that creates shame.
95
At the end of the day, you don't want your jokes to hurt other people.
96
Make your jokes a gift that makes life a little lighter.
97
If you do it right, you'll make the people around you laugh, feel good, and love being around you.
98
You also don't want to be sarcastic all the time.
99
It's important to show your kind, caring side as well.
100
It's funny, he always makes fun of me.
101
And he's also, you know, in a personal way, very, very sweet to me.
102
Like, before one of these award shows, he pulled me aside and said, Hey, I've got a few things that I wanted to go after you with.
103
Is that okay?
104
And I'm like, of course.
105
There is a gentler side to him that people don't necessarily suggest.
106
So, what is wrong with him?
107
There is nothing, unfortunately, wrong with Hugh Jackman.
108
The man is so nice, he makes ice cream look like puppy murder.
109
He's just the nicest guy you'll ever meet and there's nothing, I'm afraid there's nothing.
110
Now you might think building the funny habits in this video will take you a long time, or maybe you even think it's impossible for you, that you could never actually put this stuff into practice in your own life.
111
But becoming more well-liked is much easier than you might think.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
