The thing that surprises me the most is how underrated you are while there are loads of people giving garbage advice everywhere. Love your content man, keep it up and thanks for inspiring me to go for the riskier option when unsure. Love from India.
Hey I just stumbled across this channel I'm interested in improving my communication and making it more interesting through mostly reading and practicing. Any tips of how should I be exploring this channel? Any favourite video of yours?
@@adityaraj8926 well my first video was the most popular video of his, you can watch is by sorting on the basis of being popular. Besides that, I just watched the video who's title seemed interesting or relevant to me. I must say, don't go on the low view count on his channel, if you think this video could have anything to do with the things you're going through, trust me you'll get some value out of it at very least. Best part about this guy is that he doesn't seem the cliche public speaker type, he seems jumpy and genuinely funny, someone who've worked their way to where he is, not on the basis of some innate talent. Best of luck on your self improvement journey, and when unsure take the riskier option ;)
@@adityaraj8926I’ve been studying this guys stuff for two years or so now, I’d advise you go to his all videos playlist and start watching everything all by one, and once you’ve watched em, watch em again, there’s so many things that you’ll understand again the second time, be patient and understand that progression in regards to this is non linear, so be ready to stay for the long haul and give yourself credit for the little things you were able to pull off, my favorite videos of his, I like alot of em, he gives such usable advice, I like all his videos but How to be funny’s real funny tho
@@A3rdWorlderWhosBetterThanYou thanks , I’m going to be posting more videos from now on.
@@adityaraj8926 if you’re really serious about improving I’d watch all the videos and take notes. If you’re nervous a lot in social situations I’d start with that, if not then conversation if you run out of things to say, then humour and then the other areas, that’s the most common order that makes the most sense
I'm so glad I clicked on this video. Bro you are really good at what you do, and you're very modest about it, which is refreshing.
@@damiete23 thank you 😄 I’m going to be posting more from now on
Sometimes when you know a comedian long enough, even if the comedian does nothing, you'll still want to laugh for no reason. That's probably another exception to this rule. This rule is near perfect btw. Good job man!
@@unitedtomato5444 I’d say that in this case people have generated some amusement in their emotions in the background and so are closer to laughing already because they perceive this person to be about to communicate outside of normal and close to or at funny, therefore not an exception. However I think I very recently have realised another thing that needs to be added to the framework which I need to work out in a bit more depth first 🫡
I agree. Thank you. I appreciate that you reply to the comments in your videos and all the things you do. Keep up the good work.
70-80% of converations in social situation do not need to be funny.
calm energy in social situation is generally enough.
rather than having an approach to make someone else get to laugh, the best advice I have gotten by an Indian comedian is to rather make jokes to entertain yourself.
this will calm you down, chill you out and the calm and funny energy can then naturally come up in the social interactions.
Honestly, people take this part of being funny way too seriously. You just need to be calm. And stay away from the wrong people. I have felt the need to be social ever after being a bit spiritual about all this, and then it flows like water.
Never be obligated to make jokes for attention or social status. Try playing with yourself. (Do not masturbate in public)
@@Omkar3324 I 100% agree that you want to make jokes that you find funny. It should be first tick ✅ do I find it funny, if yes then ✅ do I think others might like it. Regarding being calm, being calm is a level up if you’re nervous, stressed, insecure etc. if you’re not then better to aim for confidence, enthusiasm, creativity, amusement and love if you really want to optimise for the social situation if the result it’s important to you.
Hey, great video!
I would only disagree slightly about the surprise part. “The secret to humor in surprise” as Aristotle said (I don't have a source) and I think that sums it up 100%. There are also no real exceptions. Humor is always the consequence of a cognitive dissonance or the memory of it. In your example with the stumble, the element of surprise is still fundamentally present. Because you can never really predict something 100 percent, as it always deviates and varies in some way in your imagination, let alone that you can imagine it so precisely. Even if you know someone is going to stumble, you don't know exactly how because it's outside the norm and therefore still remains too unpredictable. The only thing where you could maybe argue that they're not based on surprise would be running gags. But even those are based on the memory of the original gags, which were not predictable. And even the new ones can never be 100 percent predicted, otherwise it would quickly fall flat and would no longer be funny. So the basis is always surprise, which leads to the conclusion that normal behavior is actually devastating and should be avoided if you don't want a boring life. Prove me wrong.
Best social skills channel in the world
Love the nebula cat pic by the way, love paintings like that, it’s the only thing saving Ryan from becoming one with the wall 😅
@@kaiakeenn6430 lol it’s actually made by one of my friends who’s an artist
@@SocialShortcuts more cool artworks please 👋
The situation changes what's perceived as funny is so true! A good joke told in a classroom will not be as good outside of that classroom.
@@unitedtomato5444 yes and more importantly what the person (or animal in some cases) is focused on and how they’re focused on it. This actually is the only thing that’s relevant technically.
Yes that makes sense! Thank you.
The man has returned.
Please make more videos like this!❤
@@Robert_10 will do thank you what kind of topics or types of videos you think are best?
@@SocialShortcuts can you make another video on exercises for developing being funy at home?
like an app that has new ideas that i never saw yet and i have to make it funny like in your most watched video because I had a hard time coming up with it even because of the language barrier
thank you you much you are a live savior
@@Robert_10 I have 2 videos on humour exercises that will be released in the next few days
You gained a sub brother, in this world full of fakeness, this was truly a genuine talk, well done 👍.
@@Daredevil662 thank you 😄 going to be posting more from soon
Congrats on 10k subs Ryan 🎉
@@kaiakeenn6430 thanks 😄
This is great content, maybe remake this video a few times till it goes viral.
when he mentioned Mongolia
my mongolian brain :
how did he know that i am watching 🤯
@@fate-nq4qe I may be posting videos on the clairvoyance and psychic abilities I used at some point. What’s it like in 🇲🇳? You live in the capital?
I love that you called it the anti joke, cuz that is what it is, it’s funny cuz you were expecting something clever but the answer’s exactly what you knew, tell me more tell me more 🖐
Keep it coming!! Amazing content!!
@@Valentina_Rae thanks 😄 going to be posting more from now on
You should have more subs
Put your links at the top and limit them to 2. Use the video explanation as a verbal introduction.
Then you have a hook to grab attention at start of vid and your offers are immediately visible at the top of the page with not too many options as to cause overwhelm.
Great Ryan u made humour sound boring. U are kind of weird but better than normal.Great video.
🤯 you’re speaking in tongues friend
@@kaiakeenn6430 was that a compliment?i got a tongue, im pretty good with it. i use it to lick stuff like feet and walls how about u?
@@danielmario7138 how is it boring we can literally maximise amusement with this information 🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉
It’s better to risk being weird than being boring writing that down somewhere
@@kaiakeenn6430 yeah id say it’s 10x better to be risking being too weird than too boring
Great video!!
Also looking great man, it seems you’ve entered your cool guy era, I guess it’s the hair and chain.. 😅
Great video, cant wait for the upcoming content :)
