On one occasion, pianist Porch played in Flint, Michigan, USA, and found that half the seats were empty. He was very disappointed. After the performance, he strode to the stage, thanked the audience and said to them, "Friends, I found that people in Flint are very rich. I see that each of you bought tickets for two or three seats. "
Then, the audience burst into laughter and clapped hard.
Pochi's extremely humorous words freed him from embarrassment and won the respect of the audience.
A Fang once attended a class reunion and recalled the beautiful life of the university with her classmates. Unexpectedly, when the host was greeting the guests, he accidentally knocked over a basin of water and spilled it all on Fang's feet, wetting her new shoes. The host was at a loss and looked embarrassed. A Fang said humorously, "Under normal circumstances, you should take off your shoes before washing your feet."
In a word, everyone in the room laughed, and the embarrassing atmosphere was swept away. Everyone admires Miss Fang even more.
In social occasions, speaking humor can better reflect a person's cultivation and etiquette, and also show his personality charm.
There is no doubt that laughter is indispensable in life.
However, you must not think that humor is hard to get, or that humor is telling jokes. The mode of telling jokes is a funny little story with time, people and place.
In fact, humor is more simple one-liners, witty puns, witty epigrams and so on. Humor masters can use local materials and "laugh" into the depths of potential things without revealing traces, so that people can gain spiritual enrichment in laughter and reach a higher realm of life.
When a young painter visited Adolphi menzel, a famous German painter, he complained unconvinced: "I really don't understand why it takes me only one day to draw a painting, but it takes me a whole year to sell it."
"Please try it upside down, dear." Manser jokingly said after listening to the young painter:
"You spend a year painting and you can sell it in one day."
Is there any implication in Menser's humorous remarks? It is not difficult for readers to judge from it.
While eating in a restaurant, a customer suddenly found a bug in the dish, which was the most disgusting thing.
However, the customer smiled and said to the waiter, "May I give you a suggestion?" ? Please put vegetables and bugs on different plates in the future. Is it better for people who like to eat bugs to put them on their own plates? "
Think about it, if in other words: "What's the matter? Are you blind? Treat customers like this? " What kind of effect it will be.
Being able to make people laugh at things that make people angry is so humorous.
Heine, a Jewish poet, is often unfairly slandered by some people. Once, a man said to him with malicious intent, "I found an island during my trip." Guess what surprises me the most on this island? " Is that there are no Jews or donkeys on the island. "Heine gave the man a white eye, and then casually said," if so, then as long as I go to the island with you, I can make up for this defect. "
Do you think Heine's answer is free and easy, wonderful and interesting?

When talking with people, if you can use implicit and humorous language properly and create a relaxed and happy atmosphere, it may help you save the day in adversity.
In ancient times, there was a scholar named Xing. He was short and ugly, but he was very literary and eloquent. One day, Xing Jinshi's boat was sailing in Poyang Lake. Suddenly, a robber forcibly boarded the ship, not only robbed his property, but also attempted to kill him.
When the robber raised his knife angrily, Xing Jinshi not only didn't frighten to death, but said in a humorous tone, "Everyone calls me Xing Shorty. Wouldn't it be shorter if my head was cut off again? " Hearing what he said, the robber put down the butcher's knife in stitches.
Look at this Xing Jinshi. In the face of fierce robbers, he skillfully used a humorous sentence to save his life.
In fact, humor is not only manifested in life, but also in politics.
American President Ronald Reagan is a man with a great sense of humor. He once said: "in life, humor promotes human health;" Politically, humor is good for your image and score. " President Reagan's remarks do make sense. He himself has many examples of humor to get rid of embarrassment.
When President Reagan visited Canada for the first time, one day, he was giving a speech somewhere. However, many anti-American demonstrators kept shouting anti-American slogans, which made his speech have to be interrupted from time to time.
Seeing this, the accompanying Canadian Prime Minister pierre trudeau felt that the demonstrators had too little respect for the President of the United States, so he was embarrassed and frowned. In the face of such an embarrassing scene, President Reagan still looked relaxed.
He said with a big smile: "This kind of thing happens from time to time in America. I think these people must have come to your country from America. They want me to feel at home. "
Trudeau, frowning, laughed after listening.
When encountering an embarrassing scene, we should first put "face" behind us and extricate ourselves with a calm manner and witty and humorous language. It is indeed the best policy to calmly face the embarrassing situation.
Talking with people can be eloquent, laughing and laughing, and of course it is popular. Saying more witty and humorous words in life can not only relieve the pressure of life and emotion, but also show a wit in using language and tact in dealing with people. Especially in some public places with certain entertainment, saying more funny words can bring laughter to everyone. However, everything must be measured. There are also several points worthy of special attention when saying funny things in entertainment.
1. Make fun of it moderately
Pei must have a high artistic quality. Generally speaking, it is required to introduce the main situation clearly in the most concise and artistic language in a short time to arouse the audience's emotions. However, some people are not like this. They stood by as if they were not teasing others, but performing stand-up crosstalk. Some words are so far from the point that the audience's patience is gone.
If you want to be happy, don't be too happy.
It is common sense to create a pleasant atmosphere, so most speakers are full of energy, radiant, smiling and cheerful when they stand up. This is to infect the audience with their own happy expressions.
However, some people don't seem to know the function of this kind of "music" and the effect it should produce. Therefore, at the end of their efforts to "make people laugh", they just laughed from ear to ear and even bent down, but the audience didn't see the joke and couldn't laugh all the time. Naturally, there is no laughter and applause, and self-entertainment is a bit too much.
3. Speak with taste
People have their own style or characteristics when they speak. Can be cordial and touching, can be steady and deep, can be easy-going and chic, can be humorous, but must be appropriate according to the environment. Some people make up language to be funny, dress inappropriately, and even make some very unsightly actions, similar to clown's acting skills. When the audience saw it, they couldn't spit it out, couldn't swallow it, couldn't laugh, and had to shake their heads and sigh. Humor like me seemed to be "mixed". Talking is tasteless and the audience doesn't like it. Such people will only give people the feeling of grandstanding.
4. grab the words in time.
In some activities, there are many speakers, so there is a problem of grabbing words. Sometimes, if you grasp the words well, you can grasp the heartstrings of the audience and have a strong attraction and appeal. But in life, there is also a phenomenon that the speaker "grabs" too much. Here's the thing. Rob "will make people unhappy and affect the effect of speaking." Because everyone talks about problems on an equal footing, not on their personal performance.
Humor is everywhere in our life. As long as you are good at humor, your life will be full of laughter. But not everyone is good at humor, because humor requires certain skills. As long as you master these skills, your life will be full of sunshine.
1. Contrast is one of the basic ways to create humor.
The inconsistency of things can be revealed by comparison, and using comparative sentences is an excellent way of humor.
Cicero, an ancient Roman politician, often used this method, for example, "Gentlemen, this man lacks nothing but wealth and virtue."
2. Quote what the other side said to fight back.
The common method of humor is reverse quotation, that is, when quoting the other person's remarks, you can deal with him as he deals with you. The teacher said to the noisy female students, "Two women are equal to a thousand ducks." Soon, when Jenny came to school, a female student quickly reported to the teacher, "Sir, there are 500 ducks looking for you outside."
3. Transfer is an effective means of humor.
When an expression is originally used in the original meaning, but it is distorted into another meaning under certain conditions, then a humorous effect is obtained.
The stewardess ordered the passengers in a harmonious and pleasant voice: "Put out your cigarette and fasten your seat belt." All the passengers did as the stewardess told them. Five minutes later, the stewardess ordered again in a more beautiful voice than before: "Fasten your seat belt a little more. Unfortunately, we forgot to bring food on the plane. "
Exaggeration is a common humorous skill.
Using rich imagination, exaggerated words can also receive humorous effects. The familiar humorous "absent-minded professor" used exaggeration.
Professor: In order to explain the anatomical structure of frogs more accurately, I'll show you two dissected frogs. Please observe them carefully.
Student: Professor! Here are two pieces of sandwich bread and an egg.
Professor (surprised): I'm sure I had lunch, but what about the two dissected frogs? 5. "Innocence" is also a way to make people laugh.
Freud once thought that innocence was the most acceptable form of comedy.
A woman walked into the bank with a child in her arms. The child walked straight to the cashier with a piece of bread in his hand. The cashier smiled and shook his head. "Come on, honey, come on," the woman said to the child, then turned to the cashier and said, "I'm sorry, please forgive him. Because he has just been to the zoo. "
There are many ways of language humor, such as metaphor, turning point, pun, mistranslation and homophonic appellation, which are also deeply loved by people. Just knowing the method of humor is not enough to show that you are humorous, just as you may not become a calligrapher with a brush, the key to the problem is to use it.
Humor is a kind of conversation art, because humor can make the conversation lively and make the atmosphere relaxed and happy. Nothing is more pleasant than communicating in a harmonious atmosphere.
Everyone likes humor, however, it is not easy to make his speech humorous in a short time. Humor is the embodiment of wisdom and a person's thoughts, knowledge, wisdom and inspiration in language.
In daily conversation, a person who can be humorous to others and himself has very unusual speaking skills. There is nothing to say, as long as you understand and digest in some real examples, you can make yourself humorous.
I remember one year at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, Taiwan Province movie star Ling Feng appeared at the party. When he took off his hat and saluted the audience, people saw his round and shiny head, and the atmosphere of the party naturally became lively. Then he started talking. He said, "In Ling Feng, I am different from the article. Although we both won the Golden Rooster Award and the Best Male Singer, I am notoriously ugly. "
This wonderful impromptu speech won him warm applause. In the audience's well-meaning and well-meaning laughter at his blunt and ugly language, he continued to deliver a speech in his own unique style: "For more than two years, I traveled all over the country-filming" Eight Thousand Miles of Clouds and the Moon ". Everywhere I went, the audience gave us great support, especially the male audience had a very good impression on me. Because, they think I look like a China person, and the vicissitudes and sufferings of China for 5,000 years are written on my face. Generally speaking, the female audience has a bad impression on me. Some female viewers have reached the point where they can't stand my looks. They think I'm thinner than a yellow flower and my face is darker than a briquette. However, the times are changing, the trend is changing, and the aesthetic concept is changing. If you sum it up carefully, you will find that there are basically three kinds of men now: the first one looks beautiful, but after a long time, he feels unmanly, just like my good friend Steven Liu; Second, ugly, but the longer you look at it, the uglier it gets. This is like my good friend Peisi Chen. Third, ugly. If you watch it for a long time, you will find that he smells like another man, that is, the next one. Everyone who applauded agreed! Applause are all people who look like me. Birds of a feather flock together! "
The audience laughed their heads off.
For another example, also at a party, Ling Feng began his opening remarks like this: "I'm sorry that I appeared to the audience. Sometimes you have to leave some change when you go to the streets to prevent being punished for damaging the city ... "
This is humor. Just like Ling Feng, humor is always popular.
Some people say that humor is like an elf, it appears around us at any time and makes people absorb its aura.
Humor expresses the sincerity, generosity and openness of the speaker in a pleasant way. This is a language honed by human beings in long-term, hardships and tribulations, thus becoming a relaxed, concise and interesting humorous language.
Engels once commented on humor: "Humor is a manifestation of wisdom, education and moral superiority." A sense of humor is a noble temperament and a manifestation of civilization. A society cannot live without humor.
No wonder some people say, "A language without a sense of humor is a document, a person without a sense of humor is a statue, a family without a sense of humor is a hotel, and a society without a sense of humor is unimaginable."
There are many forms of humor in life, so we should be good at grasping and using it flexibly. If used properly, it will certainly receive good results.
The first step of humor is to be able to dissect yourself calmly and objectively.
By carefully observing yourself, you will find that you are not perfect, but an ordinary person with defects. At the same time, after you calmly discover your true self, you express your judgment in words, so self-deprecating humor comes into being.
This way of speaking, which shows your shortcomings to others generously, can often arouse people's goodwill after laughing, and also deepen your impression in others' hearts.
As Ling Feng mentioned earlier, if he just said a few polite words at the Spring Festival party, I believe people will forget it before long. However, after his relaxed humor, people still remember him so deeply.
Therefore, don't stick to self-cognition, and don't mechanically copy other people's humor. You should explore your own humorous topics and constantly sublimate your humorous speech to a higher level. I believe it won't be long before you become a person with a sense of humor.
