I'm not in a position to give anyone advices but it's a long way to go. Learn bits. Learn them by heart first of all.
Get educated as much as you can. You are never too educated. You can always improve yourself.
Watch people whom do stand up comedy. Learn how to write comedy (you have to be educated to do that. You have to get to a point where you're able to know if a bit it's funny and you can tell it without asking your friends and family, even as a hobby).
At first before learning how to develop a persona you have to kind of copy your favorite comediant. This is how we learn everying before developing our own personality.
But before everything else. Start living! You have to give up control. What are you going to talk about to people? It's easy to insult someone for the sake of a joke but never insult someonen to make other lough. And yes indeed be yourself but you have to find yourself first to know who you are. It's a long way to go. You have to "train" yourself daily. It's like a sport.
But if you're not readdy to do that you can aleays learn a few jokes and tell them but not manny people are going to understand em. If you're going to do this it's gonna change you. It's a long road. You have to decide for yourself if it's worth it or not. Also figure out why you wanna be funny. You wrote it's for your friends. I don't know if you should do this if you do it for someone else. You have to do it for yourself. Why are you gonna write? Because it's funny for you or for them?
Ps. Go to an open mic after you do all the above and send me a video.
Have fun!^^

Sure. Funny is good. Word association is a really good way to do that. Also willful misinterpretation in a joking tone.
You can practice in your spare time by saying something, then trying to make it as ridiculous as you can. You can train your quick wittiness that way. Practice makes perfect.
Playing a character, attempting accents--if you fuck up the accent, it's even better, then you can make a witty remark about it and have some good laughs.

@Girlyfriendcollecting You're welcome. Perfect practice makes perfect. Try, try, then try again. The more you fail, the better you'll get. ^_^ That's what they tell me, anyway.
@Mona86 thats ok I decide what advice to use that i think works best for me, thanks for your input.

I think it's a slippery slope trying to change your personality to become "the funny one" if you're not naturally a funny person. Personally, there are many other personality traits I'd be attracted to / interested in, before "funniness"... Funny people can be very shallow and dismissive of others (in a "funny way" of course) so I wouldn't necessarily be interested in befriending funny people... but that's just me of course... Besides, as another poster pointed out, what's funny for some people isn't necessarily funny for others... Be spontaneous...

@DarlingSelah well I think you’re amazing and it is their loss.

Yeah.. I have groomed myself that way once I observed the knack inherent in me to twist and turn words or grasp of puns .. a queer mind and devoloping crooked thoughts and how it can be applied with a different stroke .. develops a person to become humorous over time ..
Its a game that one practises and perfection happens over time.

Actually SW is a good ground for practise.. You can try answering people with a twist .. rather than giving plain and straightforward replies..

If funny is learned then its not you. Be yourself and look for others with a similar outlook in life and you will make friends. This is a much more genuine approach to friendship and will result in more genuine friends.
@Gumba1000 why cant it be me, your saying I will never learn to be funny? even if im doing it to gain friends, im doing it for a good reason to bring something to someone else life.

i tend to think no - you've either got it as part of your personality or you don't. Personally i think its best to be comfortable in your own skin - don't try and be something you are not.

I just go with the flow and I hope it's not the fart smell

Clown makeup can do wonders.

I think it's a skill that can be practiced. But it requires practicing a bunch of other skills. Confidence in delivery, language to leverage expanded vocabulary, and the ability to read people's preferences on order to know what kind of humor appeals to them. Crude, witty, dark, there are a lot of styles but none are appreciated uniformly
