Why is humor important in life?
Sometimes I feel that the Joker is literally me. What? What are you saying? What I'm saying is I like to troll. I like to joke around. I like having a laugh. I think that humor really heals a lot of wounds. And if you're able to laugh at yourself, you will have a great relationship with yourself. I've developed...
What happens when people take humor too seriously?
a lot of inside jokes, a lot of funny bits with my roommates, with my parents, with my loved ones. And it's awesome. It's awesome. But I do think that there are people who take everything way too seriously. It is not that deep. But it makes me ask the question, why so serious? Okay, enough with that joker impression. Bro, relax. It is not that serious. It is not that serious.
How can humor help with personal relationships?
I have made jokes that have been offensive. There is a difference between being offensive and someone who just doesn't know how to let go. Who, when you make a troll at them, they sit and go... Really? Oh, that's interesting. Because no, because you do this all the time. It's like, bro, like, damn, Daniel, relax. What? I'm trolling. People be sensitive, bro. That's what I've really learned. People are sensitive. And you have to kind of test the waters, I think, with humor because humor is a tool. Don't get it twisted. You can really Get to the key of somebody's soul and somebody's heart through humor. But not all humor is the same, and some people, their humor is very dry. Other people, their humor is very tame. People like me, it's rotted. I have rot in my brain. Like chopped chin.
What are the risks of using humor to deflect serious topics?
Like... Sigma. That's that's just swirling around. It's like, you know, when you watch I don't know if any of you have watched like the lottery, but low key, I would watch the lottery sometimes with my parents. They would sometimes play the lottery or my grandparents. And it's like my brain just has like a lottery machine. It's whatever comes out. Oh, OK. I'm feeling Sigma today. That's what that's the that's just what I say. I need to get it checked out, bro. I need to because this chopped chin, I've been running. It's too much. Anyways, but I. I really also love ironic humor. I love when somebody makes a troll and it's like supposed to be serious, but it's not. It's like a joke and you have to kind of find the irony. I love ironic humor.
And I have found that not everybody likes ironic humor because I've made jokes where people are like, Why would, what? Like, you're gonna, what do you mean you're chopped chin? I'm not, no, I'm not chopped chin. What? Huh? You understand Squid Game? No, I'm joking. I don't speak Korean. I would love to speak Korean, but I don't. I'm just making the joke that, oh yeah, I speak Korean. I understand everything that they're saying when I don't. That's why I need subtitles on Squid Game. By the way, Squid Game season two, awesome. So far on episode three, tap in. Bro, but like, why are people so uptight? Why do some people not have senses of humor at all? I don't know if y'all have encountered this, but I have met so many people who cannot laugh at themselves.
Why do some people struggle to laugh at themselves?
We can do everything that comes. Das Handwerk.
They don't know how to laugh at themselves. It's almost as if there is this...
This epidemic of letting go of anything that makes your personality you. And part of that is humor. And I think I know why it's happening. I think it's because, at least in a lot of my guy friend spaces, we consume a lot of media that is reflective of what we are experiencing. And a lot of guys, myself included, feel lonely. So we want to counter that loneliness because we think it is something that is a problem with us. Because on Instagram, the guy that is in Dubai doesn't seem very lonely. He seems like he's got a couple of Bugattis that are keeping him company. So it makes you feel a little bit sad or whatever. And so sometimes like the advice you get is you have to be serious. Be more serious.
Be the mysterious man. What? Some of the coolest people I know are the funniest people. They're hilarious and they are not afraid. They are brave because they will make jokes even when nobody gets it. They will make jokes and they will make those jokes the way they want to. And you will have to learn their humor and be like, OK, that guy's funny. Actually, their humor is pretty funny.
