How To Use Funny Humor In Business For Profit: Powerful Marketing Tool

Posted on Thursday, July 29, 2010 in Humor

Have you been told that you have a good sense of humor throughout your life? Do you find that things are easier to understand when they are described in a humorous way? Humor helps us appreciate the good times and smile through the bad times. Humor is a good memory tool. It is part of who we are as humans.

Perhaps you enjoy a good joke every now and then, or you find yourself seeing the funny side of things. Did you ever think that you could use humor to make money? Many people use humor as a marketing tool to make money, and not just stand-up comedians and television writers.

If you are an exceptional observer and commentator, if you spend time analyzing jokes and why they are funny, if you want to spend many years working hard to make it, then you very well may have what it takes to be a successful stand-up comedian.

For most of us, however, getting on stage and speaking in front of people is not something we want to do. Some people are terrified of speaking in front of a group; it’s the number one phobia world-wide.

There are many other ways to make a good living using humor. Try to think of commercials that are particularly effective. Chances are the commercials you thought about were funny. This is because a good joke is memorable. Advertisers have understood this for decades.

Humorous Interpretations From Dramas

Posted on Sunday, July 25, 2010 in Humor

Being original does not necessarily mean trying to erect something from nothing.  Originality can spring from being clever and placing a new twist on a preexisting item.  Taking this concept and applying it to a Humorous Interpretation piece can add the zing which is often missing.  This little twist can be as simple as interpreting a well-known character in a non-traditional way (how often has Watson been delivered as a fat, bumbling fellow until 2009 when Jude Law gave the clever doctor the credit he deserves?) or as extravagant as revamping a story entirely (see the evolution of Batman from television to Burton to Nolan–not comedic, but a good example).  A choice you can make as you select your Humorous Interpretation piece can be to take a common, dramatic story plot, throw it into a chrysalis of humor, and watch the metamorphosis transpire.

Advantages:

Unique. This Humorous Interpretation treatment is unique because you stand to potentially have the only funny interpretation of ——- around.  There is no competing with other Humorous Interpretations to see who has the better cutting and interp of “insert popular HI here.” Most HI’s are found through looking into humorous plays or short stories.  These crossovers are done from love, take an exuberant number of hours to perfect, and thus few seek out this type of piece.

Developing Your Sense Of Humor

Posted on Wednesday, July 21, 2010 in Humor

A good sense of humor helps you to solve problems, improve your relationships, and have a positive outlook on virtually every aspect of your life.

Sense of humor is something people talk about but rarely understand in terms of what humor really is. It is often defined as having a different perspective on things. This way of looking at sense of humor is only partly correct. If you defined sense of humor as just having a different perspective, it would be like saying, “If you were just 6 feet tall, you’d understand this” and “If you just had a full head of hair, you’d be more comprehensive.

Changing your perspective means going back through your entire life and looking at all the belief systems and elements that went into making up your perspective. So it’s not a simple process. A sense of humor is a very particular developed sense of perspective that allows you to access joy even in adversity.

I’m not talking about going through life and laughing things off. Nor am I talking about the fact that you ignore a problem or don’t take it seriously. I am talking about first dealing with the problem and then putting a positive spin on it.

The idea is that a sense of perspective when it comes to humor allows you to see yourself in the scope of things rather than always at the center of things. Most of us have a tendency as to believe that any problem we are confronting and facing at particular moment is the most important thing that is going on in the world.

The “Sense” of a Sense of Humor

Posted on Saturday, July 17, 2010 in Humor

What is a sense of humor? This article will briefly attempt to quantify what a sense of humor is, and ask revealing questions about a sense of humor. It will explain cultural and moral differences in senses of humor. Ultimately, the article will conclude that there is no objective sense of humor in the individual or societal or even moral sense.

 

For centuries and even today, a desirable quality in human beings is a sense of humor. A sense of humor is essentially a sense or feel for what is funny. But this is precisely the question. What is funny?

 

If something is funny, it makes you laugh. Laughter is associated with positive feelings and an overall feeling of euphoria and enjoyableness. Laughter and funnyness fall under the umbrella of humor.

 

Humor is situational. It’s all about context. In comedy, timing is everything. People can laugh at jokes, situations, images, pictures, videos. Essentially the whole scope of life can contain humor.

 

It is no secret that many people have many different senses of humor. I’m sure you’ve heard the term “dry sense of humor.” I compare a sense of humor to personality: Some people have similar ones, but everyone’s (sense of humor, or personality) are different.

 

I may find things funny that you do not.

The Sharp Political Humor of Will Rogers

Posted on Friday, April 16, 2010 in Humor

Will Rogers was an amazing person and one of the wisest men of any generation. His accomplishments include being a champion lasso thrower, a performer on the Broadway stage, the star of 71 movies, a radio broadcaster, an author of six books, and a syndicated newspaper columnist. Will Rogers traveled around the world three times and befriended presidents, senators, prime ministers, and kings.

Will Rogers was famous for his simple, insightful humor and his ability to connect honestly with everyone he met. His comments about politics in general and the politics of his generation are among his most memorable. The following are some of the best Will Rogers political quotes.

There’s no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you.

Ancient Rome declined because it had a Senate; now what’s going to happen to us with both a Senate and a House?

I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat.

I don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.

The more you read and observe about this Politics thing, you got to admit that each party is worse than the other. The one that’s out always looks the best.

The income tax has made more liars out of the American people than golf has.
