Hmm. I feel like people that are funny probably spend hours in front of the mirror practicing in order to be funny. So I think this video is accurate. Then again, I am not funny.

This is something you'd want to use as a guidline, but really good jokes dont come from a book its just natural.

Tip

The part about hooking your audience is true for me, most of my friends know i'm a very funny person, but theres one kid who always finds teh jokes i tell just plain stupid, even though everyone is rofling, so if they've made up their mind your not funny, then you're SCREWED.
