Hello everyone! Have a good day, and take your pills if you have those and should take them. I'm simply spreading positivity in this comment section.
In previous interviews for Bored Panda (here and here), together with comedians and humor experts, we tried to get to the bottom of why X is brimming with so much funny content.
Humor coach and keynote speaker on communication Jeremy Nicholas explained that the platform is perfect for topical jokes and reacting to topical stories, which might be the main reason why there's so much funny content on there.
Lol ok will do and I'll be sending it to funny home videos for £250 as well
Its instantaneous nature allows people to react to immediate and relevant events that, with a funny twist, generate a lot of material that we all can laugh at.
Another reason for X becoming a comedy hub is its huge user base. As of early 2025, X is estimated to have 650 million active users. With so many different people and their sense of humor gathered in one place, everyone can find something funny to them. Plus, it’s easy enough to use—one can find the right audience just by typing out their thoughts.
The person that decided YT ads should be a thing should be forced in life to sit and wait, watching several ads before they are allowed to do anything, including if they need to rush to the toilet.
The 280-character limit on X also seems not to hold comedic geniuses back. Actually, it might be quite the opposite, as Nicholas said that “humour works best with fewer words.”
“The best jokes have no fat on them at all. If a word doesn’t add to the setup or the punchline, it should be cut. You can’t be rambling when you’ve only got 280 characters to play with, but that’s a good thing. No one has ever said, ‘I enjoyed that joke, but just wish it had gone on longer,'" Nicholas said.
Our previous family dog's favourite dog was a batman on a motorbike. She loved sleeping and licking it.
“The real challenge is turning a long joke into a short one without losing the punch—or stretching a short joke into a TED Talk without losing the audience,” said comedian and comedy coach Manny Garavito.
That's why it's so cute to watch them. Trying out all the new firsts and what and looking adorable while doing it.
We miss you both oh so very much!!!!!!! We fear for our safety and our way of life. I am so afraid he is going to cut my Medicare. Do not tell me he won't do that. Trump has proven he will stop at nothing to get what he wants. PLEASE President Biden, use the power that you still have to influence our Senators, congressmen, federal judges, all who can help to continue to live in the U.S.A. that our forefathers envisioned for us because now, as of January 20th, we are living in a dictatorship and are returning to the early 1900's and we may have a new era Hitler to contend with.
The secret to being funny on X is staying as honest as possible, Nicholas said. “The closer a joke is to the truth, the funnier it is,” says Nicholas. “I work a lot with professional speakers on adding laughs to their keynotes and the same rules apply. If you go too far off the track of truth, it becomes unbelievable and not as funny.”
I have had enough gas for the last several weeks to launch the sixth fleet!!!
Meanwhile, Gravito’s advice for creating funny content is to “spot the trend, call out the obvious, then flip it on its head. The punchline should feel like the joke will lose you followers and gain you some new ones.”
“A good way of writing jokes for X is to start with some source material and then add your own comment,” added comedy writing coach and director Chris Head. “A great way to arrive at topical jokes is to do this with news headlines," he said.
He also suggests looking at statistics or proverbs as material for jokes. “Find some stats as a starting point for a joke. You could take a surprising attitude to the stat—or deliberately misunderstand what it’s saying. You can also interrupt a well-known saying and change how it finishes, or try looking up inspirational quotes and adding your own afterthought.”
Why didn't they put the money on his books? The parents are the real crooks
You was talking democracy while my followers had to storm the Capitol. Now I pardon them and damn your democracies! Russia is moving inland but I have my eyes set on Greenland. Oh yeah!
But it says January 21st on the date underneath which was a good day because it's my birthday
