You Will Need

- Impersonations
- Physical comedy skills
- Physical comedy
- Boundaries
- Genuine class participation
- Confidence
Step 1: Use one-liners
Use witty one-liners in response to questions. Your answer to “What’s the speed of light?” might be “I don’t know. What’s the speed of dark?”
Look up jokes and one-liners online on a variety of topics so you’ll be ready when there’s opportunity.
Step 2: Do impersonations
Try out your impersonations of celebrities and foreign accents in class, when appropriate.
Step 3: Use physical humor
Do a cheesy dance move in class when the teacher is occupied, and sit down quickly before the teacher turns around.
Never laugh at your own jokes. Keeping a straight face will make them funnier.
Step 4: Make inappropriate noises
Sharpen your pencil while your teacher is lecturing, drop a book loudly onto the floor, or shout a non sequitur. Act surprised if reprimanded and apologize profusely.
Step 5: Have boundaries
Know the boundaries of your barbs. Your goal is to make people laugh, not hurt others’ feelings, bully, or damage property.
Step 6: Participate in class
Participate in class. Coming up with actual answers, doing homework, and getting good grades will make your clowning easier for your teacher to tolerate.
Step 7: Have confidence
Have confidence and commit to the joke. No matter how ridiculous your antics, this will help you pull it off like a pro.
Laughter raises our pulse and blood pressure, and boosts our heart rate – similar to mild exercise.
