The Benefits of a Good Joke


Analyzing Ellen DeGeneres´joking style, this video explains how to tell a joke so that people will like you.

Go straight to these moments in the video to hear and read about specific types of jokes:

1:10 - The kind of jokes that make people sad, ones that Ellen rarely makes
2:08 - Self-deprecating jokes make people feel comfortable around Ellen
3:10 - Poking fun at subjects that people are not insecure about allows Ellen to crack jokes without upsetting people
5:20 - Making ego boosting jokes that make other people feel good, makes Ellen someone that people want to spend more time with
5:59 - Ellen can also joke around and just simply be silly 

The voiceover is quite fast so you might just as well click to get the subtitles
