What's up everybody? This is Charlie from Charisma on Command and today, I want to talk
about how to make someone laugh.
Now, comedy is amazing, but the topic is really deep, right? Comedians spend their entire
lives dedicated to the craft of how to make people laugh. That's not what we're gonna
do today.
We're going for the fastest, easiest quickest way to make someone laugh that, quite frankly,
is probably going to offend those of you who really value witty, clever, sharp humor, but it's amazing.
So I want to dive now into this video and I want to ask you to pay a tendency if you
laugh, and what is going on in the video when that occurs. At the end, I'll come back and
talk about what happened, and how you can apply that to your own life.
So, what was your reaction? I am genuinely curious because when I watched this the first
time, I could not help but smile as she fell over and cracked up in her chair. And I was
thinking the entire time, what is going on here? Like this story isn't even particularly
funny, but she is just so into it, and so endearing, and so contagious that I couldn't
help but feel it too.
And, actually, what's going on is something that is occurring in all humans' brains, which
is we have these things called mirror neurons and they cause us to feel the feelings of
the people around us; increasingly so if we're in rapport with those people.
So if you didn't laugh, it might be because you hate Julia Roberts or you're just not
in a great mood right now, and you didn't feel like falling into sync with her. But
if your close friend or buddy starts to crack up uncontrollably and you're in rapport
with them, you will not be able to resist the urge to laugh. The way to do this, then,
is not necessarily to laugh at your own jokes when you're out there telling jokes. It is
to start by laughing more heartily at other people's jokes, because what happens is, now,
you start to build a cycle.
So you walk up to them with a giant smile on your face. You're interacting, they say
something, and rather than being reserved, you allow yourself to just start to chuckle
a little bit more on that joke. They pick up on that, their mirror neurons click in,
they start to get funnier, which makes you laugh more, which makes them laugh more, and
then, by the time that you are telling your own story, you're in the same kind of fun mood
that Julia Roberts was in when she was telling this one.
So go ahead, I give you this mission legitimately now. Go out today. Find yourself in conversation
with someone and remember to laugh more, right? It might start off as feeling fake or false,
but I promise you, that within just a couple of seconds, if you commit to it, and you are
in rapport with this person, you will find that it becomes genuine, and you can carry
that feeling around with you for hours or even the entire day. That's how you create
emotions in other people.
Speaking of other emotions, there are 4 of them that lead to amazing first impressions
anytime, and if you get these in the right order, you'll make a great impression. If
you do them in a kind of wrong order, you might not make such an amazing impression.
So if you want to know what those are, go ahead and click the link in the description
or that will pop up right here. You'll be taken to another page where you can drop your
email and see that video. It's less than 7 minutes and it will show you something that
most people that, flat out, do not know about their first impressions.
If you liked this video, please go ahead and subscribe. Write in the Comments if you laughed.
I'm watching this by myself and I'm genuinely curious if this made you guys laugh. So let
me know and if you have any other videos of charismatic people that you think I should
break down, go ahead and leave those in the Comments too. I'm Charlie and I hope that
you enjoyed this video.
