I have friends who are incredible for that. Even the stupidest joke they tell sounds great on them and we all laugh. Unfortunately, i wasn't touched with that talent lol. Most of the jokes are awful when i am the one who tells them, except sarcastic/black humor ones i think, for which i am good hehe. Are you a good joke teller? do people laugh when you tell jokes?

I admire some of my friends who are really good at being funny. No matter if it's a joke or just a comment about something, they have this talent to keep people's attention all the time and make them laugh. something that unfortunately i don't think i have lol.

My friends also think of me like that, because I noticed that they are always waiting for my mouth to open and tell something that could burst them out to laugh. Many times, they would call me CRAZY, because of the way I deliver the punchline!;) I can play at anyything that I want to make a joke at, with most of the times, they love to hear green jokes from me!;) We call that here, toilet humor because one of my local idol here is good at telling them;) I learned from what he says, I look for some ideas and try to put one as my "own."

Well I am no good at the long/complicated stories but I am great with the one liners! I usually get confused if I am trying to tell a long joke and everyone ends up laughing at the confused look that comes over my face! Hugs Lightnin Honey! xxx

well i prefer brief jokes really, to tell long ones and keep people's attention all the time and being able to make them laugh at the end of it you need talent, something i don't have lol.

Hi LightningStrike! Oh no, people don't laugh because of my jokes, they laugh because they pity me for my corny jokes. Haaaah! So, I have accepted my fate to just be an audience for this talented people. haha..Take care and have a nice day!

I do not consider myself a good joke teller. I think I'm better at listening and laughing at jokes that other people tell:)

No - not at all - in fact I never tell jokes! Don't wish to sound sexist, but I really do think joke-telling (especially stand-up comedy), is something men are far better at that women. I can never remember the punch-lines and make an awful fool of myself! So - no - I never tell them!

When I am in the mood. I don't like being boring and I usually tell jokes when I am with my friends. However, I don't do that all the time but when I am in my 'joking' mood, then all hell would break loose. LOL! I remember once an incident wherein i was elected to be the the 'reporter' in our group during one leadership seminar. From beginning to end , everybody laughed at the way i reported our work. I even surprised myself at that time that even our facilitators and trainors told be stopped because their stomach is already aching due to too much laughing. One thing i have learned that when I do presentations and reports, i would never be boring and i do it by having jokes as adlibs.

yeah, even in more serious things, a tad of humor can always be convenient, if you know where the limits are and which is the moment for everything.

I am TERRIBLE at telling jokes. I can never remember the whole thing and have to go back to tell a part I forgot. It's just bad. What I AM good at though is quick one liners that I think of quickly and at the right time.

I'm really bad at telling jokes. I've tried telling jokes, but I usually mess up by forgetting to mention something important, so then my friends can't understand it. Sometimes, I even forget the rest of the joke halfway through telling it. But it's actually funny in a mean way to leave off telling a joke halfway: Just as you're getting to the punchline, tell them that you're too lazy to finish the joke.

yeah, that happens to many people...they tell the joke, and when they see nobody is laughing they remember they already ripped the joke without even realizing or they missed something important for the rest to understand. That's funny too though.

I suck at telling jokes so much so that I don't even bother anymore. I either get laughing so hard that I can't tell it or I forget the punch line ....sometimes both.
