They said, Filipinos are one of the happiest persons in the world. Why? Because we can make "waley" jokes into really "havey" jokes. Do you want to know how? Try these tips.
First, laugh it all out. In Filipino, "tawa muna bago joke". Laugh until drop! Because of this act, your audience will think that your joke is really really really funny. When you have done this, it's a sign that it is a good beginning.
Second, "the all in 1" tip. You should remember that when you're given the opportunity to say a joke you should maximize all your efforts. Besides, the limelight is yours. You should make use of actions and sound effects. In this way, you can provide your audience a performance they will never forget.
Third, "hampas dito, hampas doon". After delivering your joke make some side hits. The target points are the lap of your audience or the most common, the shoulder. This makes your joke more intense.
Fourth, make the loudest laugh. In other terms, "tawa pa more". In case, they don't find your joke funny, at least they will laugh because of the way you laugh. Your joke may be waley but your laugh will always he havey. Remember, the content of your joke is not important. The way you deliver it is what matters.
Fifth, repeat all steps. Just believe in the saying, "try and try until you succeed". Maybe your 2nd or 3rd or even your 4th joke will finally sell off. Don't lose hope.
I know some of you are guilty of these tips that’s why may the odds be ever in your favor! Continue spreading good vibes and give out happiness.
