Can confirm. Am brutally honest server. Gotten in trouble before for having jokes go over poorly. Once told s family they’re gonna die ina car crash on the way home bc they used all their luck up. Oops. For me I have to stay calm. Don’t be intimidated by the crowd or audience. You have to vibe with them a bit. The whole thing that makes it funny is an objective assessment of something and replying directly to that - not necessarily what might’ve been said. When you vibe with the person too, you’ll eventually start to feel things that feel right in general or specific things for specific people. Watch comedians, letterkenny, etc. when you hear someone say something that you find interesting try to remember it. The way I typically feel it out is that 1. People think it’s funny when you pretend to not be yourself. When you’re really honest then they’ll know you’re joking. 2. You gotta go with what your brain says is right - the right connotation. Not only are you trying to reply from an objective assessment but it’s easier for people to digest things too if you can make them feel s certain way from certain words. If someone doesn’t work just take the L. Try not to push the envelope too hard. When people see you not discriminating but having fun towards any other ground in general (for me let’s say vegans vs meat eaters in a restaurant) it’s okay to root for both sides as long as it seems purely for spectacle and not bc it’s forcing an idea or opinion and allows them to respond with their own. You gotta learn to be graceful. I’ll adopt a snobby tone and be like “ooops I didn’t want to have fun today anyways” or “how are you today? Great! Hbu u? I’m good but idk if immthet good” Old lesbian 10 top: are you sure you’re ready for troublemakers like us? Me a beautiful man: smooth seas never made for a skilled sailor Them: OHHHHWIFNALFKWPF Shits funny when it works out. Try to people watch. See when they go into experiences and think what you’d say. Narrative your line of thinking for them. When you get good at this it’s easier to read your own interactions to see what things a person might or might not respond or. Try to mix idioms together and see if they work. For confirmation connotation: “Does a dog shit in the woods?” + “Does the pope live in the vatican?” = “Does the pope shit in the woods?” People don’t take to those easily but always find them super funny once explained.

I find that being funny and witty is more about being calm, perceptive, and trying to coordinate what you want to say with how you want to say it, and what you might be saying by not saying something else.

“Hi George!” Doesn’t say hi to Anna. Anna thinks: they’re mad st me. Because you didn’t say hi. See the issue that you couldncauee?

“You got any allergies?” “Nahnahnah” aight cool y’all just here for good food. Take some time to settle in Find stuff that works for you but keep constantly adding new things Sometimes I make noises to indicate my presence I’ll do hand gestures to show my walking direction Howdy howdy opener Hey hey Yo yo yo - Imma be ur servertonight
