How do i tell jokes without laughing at them myself?

Question

i know and all my friends know me as some one who is very funny and have a great sense of humor.

it is a lot more funny when i say something and keep a straight face...but now i cant do that anymore and i dont know why.....WHYYY??? WHYY!!!!

Answer 1

tell us one right now...did you laugh? i would not worry about it, if you are able to find humor in things it just means you are a witty.-blurey

Answer 2

Ahh, giggly-happy-carefree eh?  Once you get some depression back in your life, it'll all be over.  Something (*bad*)...will happen..... and you'll become emotionless and rarely laugh anymore.

I was once you, but now I've become the emotionless-rarely-laughing person I forewarned you about.  (Enjoy a glimpse of the future.)

Answer 3

Hmm, perhaps you should try jokes that you have already told in the past? I tend to laugh during my own jokes, too, but that only happened, when I told a joke that I made right at that spot. If you tell a joke that you've told before, you would already know that it's funny, so you wouldn't be amused as much as you were the first time. Maybe you should continuously repeat the joke in your head, once you've come to the point where you can handle your laughter. It might not be as funny for you then, but it sure will when your audience first hears it :)

Just be natural with it. But you know, it is still kind of funny to see people trying to suppress their laughter when they're telling a joke. I think that itself is hilarious, because usually they look constipated.
