*In best Jewish accent*

You have one joke your funny. You have two and your a comedian. Unless your Graham Norton of course cos then you'd just be a talentless shit.

Jewish accent lol!

When I was 16, I jumped out of the window during my very boring Spanish class (ground floor room, no injuries) in order to convince the class clown that I wasn't just "the smart girl" in our class and that I actually did have a sense of humour. Nine classmates proceeded to follow me. I did impress him with my very out of character stunt. However, I ended up gaining a very obnoxious 220 lb. shadow in the form of his best friend for the rest of my high school career. The class clown was interested in me, but let his friend "stalk" me because he had a hard time talking to girls. This was my "epic fail" at being funny.

I'd horrifically murder everyone's pets and force feed them to their kids.

I don't know what I'd do to make someone laugh though?

If someone challenges you to make them laugh, what strategy could you employ, to make them laugh despite themselves?

CHALLENGER: Go on then Geoff, make me laugh.

GEOFF: No way, you're too argumentative.

CHALLENGER: No I'm not!

GEOFF: There you go again! [WALKS AWAY WITHOUT FURTHER ADO]

I've actually done that and got the required result.

I Re-enact the outtakes from the line up scene in 'Back to class - Thank you for the music'

Laughing out loud

Get them very drunk and start laughing.

Stare them straight in the eye, then after a few seconds flare your nostrils and purse your lips.

If they don't laugh they're either an android or an accountant.

Or a TV producer.

Yes, that would work. If you challenge someone to keep a straight face, it becomes very difficult for them to stop laughing.

Ah, there's an easy way round that one. When they ask for casting suggestions for your sitcom, just suggest yourself in the lead. That'll get them guffawing with laughter.

I'd hold a knife to their throat and say,

"Laugh, you c**t - or I'll f**kin' kill yuh!"
