Humor is one of those things that is easy to point out, but kind of hard to explain. There's no one definition that everyone agrees on.

But I personally like to think of humor as the ability to surprise the audience by creating a connection between two or more things. Now there's two ways you can improve your sense of humor.

You can improve the content of your humor and you can also improve the delivery of your humor. Now in terms of improving the content of your humor, it's all about variety.

To be funny you have to be able to catch people off guard. When you rely simply on one type of humor you become predictable, and predictable is not funny.

They call it a punch line because you don't see it coming. There's many different types of humor. I'll try to go over the most common ones.

Exaggeration is one of the most common forms of humor. It's great because almost everyone gets it. And it's extremely easy to use.

Simply put, you take an observation about something and you exaggerate it way out of proportions. The more absurd the comparison the funnier it usually is.

Almost everyone gets it and it's pretty easy to use. It's when you make a connection that nobody expects.
