How To Be Funny

How to be funny!

The last thing that i want to claim is that i am an expert at humour or being funny because I am not, however over the last year i have improved my sense of humour a hell of a lot and a lot of times people kind of ask me how i did it or for some tips.

Well while i was really reluctant to give tips on something i didn’t feel i was an expert on, i know that i learned a few things from the experts that really helped me improve and i wanted to share these and share the resources that i learned from,

So check this video out where i cover how to be funny, the reasons to do it, how (overview), the types of humour and the major resources that i tried and learned from on how to be funny,
Sorry it can’t be extremely long, Youtube only allows 10 min videos
Enjoy the video and please let me know if this was useful.

Dancing Inmates – Michael Jackson’s This Is It

If you ever saw that initial video of the inmates in the Philipines doing the thriller video (and it went super viral), well this is pretty much the sequel.

Man these guys are good, i can see dancers commiting crimes pretty much to get in to such a good dance troup!!!

Apparently though this has become a very big tourist attraction in the phillipines and the inmates perform monthly!
