With 3 consecutive Grammy’s to his name, it’s safe to say that Dave Chappelle’s humor works. If not for literally everyone then at least for the vast majority of people.
So in this video we’re going to explore what we can learn from Dave’s admittedly difficult to imitate style. Because even though getting to Dave's level may be impossible, there are 5 core building blocks that anyone can use to immediately become much funnier.
⏰TIMESTAMPS⏰
0:35 - #1: Adopt different characters.
1:31 - #2: Adopt the tone and mannerisms of the character.
3:39 - #3: Have good comedic timing.
6:29 - #3: The fake out.
9:31 - #4: The comedic simile.
10:28 - Final mindset.

😂😂True. Like trying to relearn everything. These videos can help with self reflection and consequently self improvement
This mad funny 😂

How to be the funniest person in any room? Stay alone.
The monster under my bed is still funnier, but nice try
Unfortunately your plants have more personality
Not the funniest, the most sad..
Sometimes even thatbemds up being lame!!
Be the joker
I know how to be the funniest looking person in the room
If that is typical of your humor, you might very well be the funniest in the room, too.
Waiting for you on the stage man!!

Good sense of humor
You cannot teach this. It's learned through years of a miserable childhood.
Bro that so true
A lot of truth to that. Some of the stories I tell are humorous because they're just incredibly off the wall and if you think about it too hard, really awful. Tough childhood forces you to see things differently and often find humor in the misery as a coping mechanism.
I mean... It's probably more the thousands of hours of honing your stand up comedy skills, hundreds of sets on stage...
Plenty of kids have a miserable childhood, but very few work their way to the top from it.
Sad but true
Not all comedic skills are learned from bad childhood experiences. Those factors can help a comedian in dark humour, but that's not all there is.
1: adopt different characters
2: adopt the tone and mannerisms of the characters
3: Good Timing
4: The fake-out
5: the comedic simile
6: laughter must come first
Makes sense🔥
Thanks!
jordantheghost on the last one, you saying i gotta laugh first or the audience has to laugh before i finish the joke
Austin Shaw dude watch the video

Where he say that?

Important thing to remember: it’s okay to be funny. Don’t be a clown.
Don't you worry about being a clown, you could become the Joker one day!
It's okay to be a clown. Just the one with a chainsaw.
Being a clown. Makes everyone feel comfortable
I always laugh at my own jokes if I think it did good and I call myself out if it bombs. It helps. People will laugh if you laugh genuinely even if they don't find it funny.
Why so serious, let's put a smile on that face. 😏
To be humerous is often to be unpredictable. Personally I just think too slow to be able to make jokes at the right times, mostly they come to my mind way too late. Anyone know how to practice?
Syrxen The best way to practice in my opinion is to go for it. I always considered myself to be slow as well, until I pretty much went for improv. Whenever a joke or word-play come to my mind, I instantly speak by making a setup. The setup is just misleading the people in front of you while you prepare the punchline. The setup is key in making a joke work. Any misdirection will do. But the most important part is to start talking quickly. You will be more comfortable While your mind connects the dots. I am now very good at puns and wordplay. And I can do it just by practicing improv as I am going along. Bear in mind that this takes a lot of time and most of the jokes will not be great initially. Don’t take yourself to seriously or think too hard. For every knee-slapper of a joke, there are 10 flops. Good luck!
Practiced with a person you are comfortable with, someone u don't mind embarrassing yourself. Soon, you'll be able to randomly crack an unexpected joke in the right moment.
Practice paying attention. Just by being alert and listening you can often find something to make a joke out of in any boring mundane conversation.
Practice is an unbeatable strategy, and should be your main priority. But one clutch I use every now and then is to say something that takes the conversation a step back. Like, “Wait, is nobody gonna talk about [blank]? And then make your joke. If looking for an example, check out Tony Stark Age of Ultron language scene.
In group conversations, I mumble witty responses and generally no one notices except maybe the person next to me. It's great practice without having the risk of an awkward silence, although you'll kick yourself when you come out with something hilarious and no one hears it.
Agree, he has a genius multi-level comedy, intermingled with irony and difficulty telling which side of the fence he actual stands on, allowing him to point out the hypocrisies of otherwise extremely controversial subjects, heightening the humor and leaving no one out, no matter your opinions - bar none, he's the most talented comedic artist in my lifetime
Good insight on it
You’re so right Kevin Bacon 🥺
Somewhere... punctuation.
Tell Me Something You’re so... Right, Kevin Bacon? 🤔
Agree 100%!
I never "try" to make a joke. I just can't.
All my jokes are spontaneous and mostly in response to someone or something
tru that, also humor is sometimes not explainable
Me too lol and they're not that funny
Me too. And I usually have to be "settled into" the situation, i.e., "warmed up".
That's why I can't take serious when he says "shortcut" to be funny. You can't just reproduce the "tips", you can only take it into consideration for when you fail. You can only learn from experience. So, when he says he doesn't have a tip to shortcut on how to do the *simile*, and actually do the same for the others, they aren't real shortcuts. You can only be funny if you let yourself fail and use it as feedback, then you'll start accumulating good experience on how it works. It goes naturally from that.
Yep those are usually the most organic jokes for me too. A lot of times the people that I make laugh or laugh the hardest with are ones I spend the most time with. I can usually make customers laugh over the phone too since I can focus more on tone and confidence. I find that first impressions in person can often be the most difficult to deliver humor and these comedians do it so well since they are comfortable all the time. Discomfort seems to kill the funny
RUclips : Be yourself
Also RUclips : No not like' that
Be yourself is the worst advice I've ever gotten. When I was someone else I was doing much better.
chiepah2 if you’re someone else and they like that then they don’t truly like you but instead they like this character that’s not actually you
@@johnnyl0l True, turns out what they are looking for is the best version of yourself, the you that you would like to be. If you pretend to be that you won't always get it right, but you'll get better at it and it is the you that you wanted to be anyway.
@@chiepah2 playing a character is just an extension of yourself essentially. Alter egos are fine and if you make people laugh or are just simply comfortable doing it then why not go with the flow
@@chiepah2 Being someone else is a waste of who you are.
If you want to be more charismatic, start listening.
I am but I also learnt that you have to show you are listening.
Introverts problems
True in more ways than one, I find it's way easier to be funny when I understand the audience (even if it's just one person)
it works
Seriously? I´m a perfect listener, I could listen all day if that means I don´t have to talk. But I have the charisma of a brick wall!
@@chanceneck8072 Charisma is overrated. I said that because my husband is a good listener, and I adore him.
My sense of humor: Be insensitively blunt and honest. But when ever you say anything make sure there is a few seconds of silence before you say it.
I have a similar way too
I think it’s called dry humor, somebody please correct me if I’m wrong because it’s my favorite type 😂😂
One of my friends is like this is and it is absolutely hilarious.
@@david2legit2quit Kinda, but dry humour is defined more by the lack of emotion. It's deadpan and low key with no indication in your tone or expression that you're actually joking.
Not funny at all. But hey you found a few creepy guys who agree .
Thumbnail: Steal these jokes
Amy Schumer: But I’ve already stolen those jokes :(
I'm dead
what's even more funny is that you think people still care about amy schumer
We heard you the first time you stole them Amy..............we had a meeting, we are all displeased and you are on coffee duty for the next whatever it is roast toast most
1. Adopt different_______
2. Adopt the_______and________of the_________

4. Use the fake_______
5. Use the comedic________
And this is how you become the funniest person in the room. I left the video totally leraning something useful.

Are you the guy who writes Sunday School pamphlets
I love Dave so much. The fact that he can switch from hard hitting provocative topical conversations having the entire crowd in deep thought to a punchline that makes everyone go wild and then straight back to the point without missing a beat and have it feel completely fluid is an art form that nobody else can replicate. He is a genuine genius and the goat of all comics. I hope that the love for Dave and the appreciation for his stand up/stories never diminish. He is an anomaly.
When you make fun of everyone nobody gets offended.
horrible advice
more like everyone jumps you*
riiight
Finally, finally I found advice that only works if you're Spongebob
Yeah if "everyone" includes you
00:38 Dave adopts different characters. I noticed a lot of comedians do this: Michael MacIntyre, Robin Williams. Michael adopts mannerisms by running across stage, speaking in a high pitched voice.
01:17 " We have not eaten in several hours!"
02:32 He does not speak in monotone
04:57 Leave more space than you are used to in front of a punch line. I think this is so complex to do. Just let the silence do the talking.
I liked that Charlie used clips from Live at the Apollo featuring Aisling Bea, Josh Widdicombe,Adam Hill,Trevor Noah -> his show on Apollo was too funny.
05:47 I love this point so much: Allow yourself to slow down at the moment of maximum mystery. Wow!
10:10 This comedic simile is too funny by Dave: comparing his show to an ex! Too funny.
10:35 and 10:58 People do not prioritise humour. People connect over shared laughter. This is how we bond! Oxytocin is released.
*Some people are just blessed with a sense of humour. It’s just part of who they are.*
True
I’d rather say some people have a growth mindset, humour is a skill that can be taught.
Chappelle is the Man - Thanks for the tips love this channel :)
The 5th Kind The man has definitely holding on his craft is amazing. And these are great tips as well
I taught high school for 8 years, taught at the college level for 6 years, my best weapon was always my humor so when I moved into a finance job I was asked to give a presentation on how to teach. I had watched their trainings and presentations and they were boring, lifeless, and just bad. When I gave mine on how to teach I structured mine with humor embedded and had planned it out. Everyone remembers my presentation and what I try to do is encourage others to either tell stories or use humor. It amazes me how many people just go up, go through a powerpoint and do neither and wonder why no one remembers anything. It takes a lot more work but using humor, not being afraid to be weird, that takes your presentation from a standard boring presentation to one that's memorable and it only takes a few good jokes sprinkled throughout. If you get them at the beginning, sprinkle it in, they'll be hanging on your every word waiting for the next off the wall thing you'll say and in the meantime they'll actually remember the important content you're presenting to them.
thanks for the wisdom
This is what life is about. When we love something important for us its the little details we structure it around.
Sounds like the only type of teacher I would enjoy & remember what I was taught decades down the road… I have teachers like that I still think about now all these years after school
4:08 HOW DARE YOU CANCEL MY FASHUN BOY ANDREW SCHULZ?!
Realtalk hes one of the Best comedians
That’s so uncalled for, although I believe he has a video on him showing how great he is.
Lmao guys, he said without timing you won't be funny and then crossed out Andrew Shultz as an example of FUNNY, get it? "You will not be this ❌" he's saying the opposite
That bit on (police) uniform was genius.
Being funny without being a clown is an art.
O'SSÉIN - Master Your Mind With Me 🔴just because address this way does it mean I am one! Lol
@@dirteemartini_art It's funny because it's true
the part about prioritizing humor is excellent. people naturally gravitate towards those who prioritize laughter and having fun
I noticed the comedic simile is something I do all the time when I joke with friends. But my brain is constantly thinking of analogies to a situation so they often come naturally. Chapelle is a master of his craft, all of these points are executed perfectly. A truly professional Comic.
Dave Chapelle is the goat of comedy.
Of interactive comedy, sure
Enter Mitch Hedberg
Kevin Hart is the squirrel of comedy.
amy schumer is the blobfish of comedy
@@ThePrinceofParthia Mark Twain award winner, comedian of a generation. You trying to undermine the comedy god?
Don't make me strike you down with the unholy shamlamdoobly, heathen!
4:07 Interesting subtle jab at Andrew Schulz 🤔
shroomysoup RIGHT!!!! he’s like the GOAT RN.
Yung heezzzzy!!
I’ve always thought that being relatable in a humorous way was always a great style of comedy
related in a humorous way? Like being joined at the hips with your twin I guess would be pretty funny.
Sean Lunny All objective also great a style of comedy
RainbowNoodleWarrior relatable 😂😂
I love when you put concrete examples that go with your points, it really helps get the message across and makes it CRYSTAL clear what you're talking about, as well as lending legitimacy by proving that the techniques work.
Keep it up Charlie!
The comedic simile is why creators like Moistcritikal do so well. They are able to just make reference to other stuff and keep the audience engaged. Similes are the key.
Should do one on "what not to do" with Amy Schumer
It's a crazy idea but it's brilliant! I hope he sees and considers that
The best way to be the funniest guy in The Room is simply to be Tommy Wiseau
GHØS†BØY HAHA! What a story, Mark.
Hahahaha nice. Not enough people get that joke 😭
If more people laugh, the world be better place

4:07 Andrew Schultz has great timing. Great overall comedian. Especially improvising with the audience. That requires good timing
Did it also rub u the wrong way seeing him crossed out at that moment in the video? Cuz I was looking for this comment lol.
My landlord says he needs to come talk to me about how high my heating bill is. I told him, "My door is always open".
Interesting that you mentioned tone and speaking like talking to a child.
I learned SO MUCH from my (now grown) autistic daughter. She would only stay engaged if I kept things simple and interesting.
It totally changed the way I communicate.
Last August I started a true crime channel and good story telling skills are a MUST.
It isn't as condescending as it sounds. :) I have 5+ subs and growing!
New subscriber.
The drunk girl impression was the best.😂😂
What I've learned from these videos: You can do LITERALLY anything when you speak. Just do it with confidence and clear intentions.
5:45 you did it the second u presented it. I LOVE THAT
I hope to see more comedic videos and how you go through their style and art of communication. I adore these vids, because I used to not land any jokes.
Now, it's super easy - I still bomb but I feel so confident about it, that it turns actually funny.
I went to Charisma University. I had a great experience. I gained CONFIDENCE and CHARISMA and STILL failed all my classes. The charisma professors tried so hard to help me... they hired charisma tutors and special ed teachers to help me but after a decade of trying they realized I was a lost cause.
I do all of these, except for the speaking slowly part most of the time.
Sometimes, I have people laughing and I'm not entirely sure what I did, but I keep making them laugh until they can't breathe, then I take their wallets.
This Is pretty funny ngl
I laughed pretty hard on that one tbh
This was FANTASTIC! I'm going to rewatch his specials and repeat them verbatim as practice, intonations and all.
If there's one contribution Dave has given to the world it's that he forever ruined the career of that French actor, Juicy Smoyyey.
Man, I'm glad you mentioned comedic simile. I do most of these things, but I rest pretty heavily on mismatched tone and comedic similes and those have served me very well over the years.
Haha~ 6:28 starts to explain what a fake out is, then BAM! Commercial!
Well played. Well played 😆
No one should ever make a joke saying they’re a professional box ball player. Because it’s not funny.
sounds like our boy told that joke to a girl and got a flirty yet awkward pity laugh 😂
Agreed
Dont ever use it if you're not hot
Depending on the porn star it wouldn't be wrong 😂
Agreed.
4:10 WHY YOU DOIN MY BOY SHULZ LIKE THAT. He funny af
Icy-kun I agree. Threw some shade there
The best use of the fake out imo is one of the trailers about Portal 2
"Cave Johnson here. Every time I look at our test chamber production line I'm reminded of my father. Now he wasn't a scientist, just a simple farmer--a professor of farming at the local farm collage. Never farmed a day in his life"
One of the best videos from Charisma on Command and that's saying something 🔥🔥🔥
Finally!! I've waited for this for so long
Nate Kang 🔴I’m taking notes, God knows I need them
4:10 Damn Charlie you done schulz dirty but I have to agree with you he's a great comic but he doesn't let his punch line sink in.
Even mediocrity is considered great today.
Just cause he’s different doesn’t mean he isn’t great . To me he is greater than those you call “great” cause he is making his own way in comedy plus he’s crowd work is next level.
Andrew is amazing. That was pretty sad to see him X’d out. Especially since he always paces his jokes which was basically the whole point if that section...
I had to scroll the comments when I seen Andrew Schulz x-d out. Just seen him at the blue note Hawaii 2 weeks ago, been following him for 2 years, dude is funny.
I appreciate knowing that I have a confidence to crack jokes around different people. It is something that is important to me. Confidence is not something I thought I had so thank you for helping me believe I have that.
Beautifully formulated. Thank you!
Haha with humor and other things you’ve talked about you suggest slowing down. Seems valuable in every interaction.
Things need time to cook, and in a lot of cases that goes for humour as well.
I F Bring somebody on a roller coaster of tone to captivate and create timing for punch lines.
You can see the horizon on a flat plane. (I.E. punchline)
You can’t see it if there’s rifts and valleys and mountains to cross. Makes it more beautiful when you arrive to the horizon (punchline)
Just be observant that's it!! 🍻
Sparta Vlogs 🔴say what everyone thinks and they’ll think you’re a genius
David is a comedy ninja.
His humour always catches me off guard.
I do stand up, and I often try to replicate what Dave does on stage. Dave is a master
When Kevin Hart walks really quickly he looks like Stewie Griffin
3:55 Shots fired. LMAO. I find Andrew Schulz hilarious though.
He said without timing you won't be -> funny ❌
He's showing Andrew as an example of someone funny
@@MatthewP1991 Looks for like he was using him as a negative example.
@@Nash9r he showed his crowd laughing as he explained how if you dont leave space there wont be room for your audience to laugh. It's not a shot at schultz
It’s so crazy watching this and seeing how much of this you already have or do naturally and don’t notice unless it’s pointed out in front of you like it is here
Watching these makes me feel like I'm living in Fallout
(+10 Speech)
(+10 Charisma)
What to do if someone doesn’t laugh at your joke
You lose
10:28 Dave is a pretty thoughtful guy, I’m sure he had already spent time thinking about analogies for his feelings on leaving the show. When asked I’m sure he pulled from something he had been thinking about. Maybe.
I might have to keep watching this video. These are some incredibly good tips in enhance my storytelling and humor.
Thanks man, this video was really helpful!
This channel is very helpful so I'd like to give a piece of advice back; Reading "customer testimonials" in a sales pitch comes across as super sleazy. It's what scams commonly do and looks really bad. I'd lean more towards its benefits and maybe a "customer satisfaction percentage" or something. Testimonials can be cherry picked so easily so many people find them synonymous with scams.
That's a great video
I just want to say thank you for those videos, they made one of the biggest change in my life .
Recently I started being interested in a girl and I felt like i needed those tips, so I watched tons of your videos and took notes . Then I started integrating them in my life little by little, changing my way of thinking and the way i apprehended social situations . It ended up not working out with the girl, but i feel like i'm not the same man anymore . I'm not scared at the idea of meeting new people or even going out with girls i like .
So for all that, I thank you a lot, you're a real life changer
Brilliant video, thanks for the tip
I'm glad Dave prioritizes humor in his stand up (10:52). I don't know if that was meant to be a joke, but it was great. 😆
Dave Chapelle is a comedic genius and a God damn national treasure. The rest of us plebs could only hope to be a fraction as funny. It's an unfair comparison for us, but he's an excellent example.
Relax heather, you won’t ever be as funny as chappelle not because he’s an amazing comedian but because you’re a white woman. White women are so unfunny Amy Schumer is considered a comedian. On the bright side though at least you still might become famous because society rewards you snow possums for being mediocre. Good luck!
The funniest person in the room is the voice in my head.
nothing but facts
thanks this helps a lot
Thank you for this video
We need a Lewis Capaldi breakdown 👊🏻
"Some people will find his joke's offensive"
Yeah and we feel pity for those kind of people
Thank you so much ❤️💜
Man I love your videos so much. If only I could afford your Charisma University program.
Dave is a master storyteller.
For the most of the comedians, it is natural, it comes from learning from experience. You need to be, mostly, open minded, you can't be funny if you try to hold back in detriment to sensitive audience. That way you can experiment, considering that humor is to make a laugh, small or big, you'll go for it, not for moral approval. The best ones we have are those that get cancelled more often.
very important, Thank you!
great analysis
You know you've hit rock bottom when you start watching these videos
I like to use shock humor and just take things where most people wouldn’t expect for example; “One thing I look forward to on my death bed, besides the actual event itself...” or “I can’t wait to get married one day and flaunt the barbell on my finger..” or calling out gross awkward moments like when I sneeze out loud in front of people and just yell, “Ugh, I’m so disgusting” playfully.
One reason I've found pausing before a punchline is really helpful is this..
When you pause it creates a tension. It draws someone in. It makes them kinda think "and then? And then?". Its like the build up before a jump scare... but funny lol
@Nero Mauritzen nailed it lol
Great Video!
Me: tells joke
The funny kid: tells same joke
The class: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Adzemo Bro same everyone just ignores me and the loud kid hears me and ends up repeating what I say... everyone laughs
@@dundee7631 Ikr
Dont try too hard
Cause its about delivery .. you have to be more confident and play more with tone of your voice
6:54
There was actually another “fake out” right after that clip where he says “that’s the only way they’ll change the law.” He lead you to think he meant African Americans needed to register a firearm to protect themselves, when the punchline of the joke was actually about how racial inequalities affect the law.
5:35 so funny how you used that scene from ´Heat´ for the first impression example lol
This is your best video yet
Me being funny is unpredictable lmao. I don't even know myself when I'm about to say something funny.
Dave Chappelle is the idea of comedy incarnated. He has been legendary for a long time now and he only gets better.
Nah i think Killin en softly if the best
This is what I needed for so long
I love Dave Chapelle!!! I finally got to see him last weekend at the MGM in Vegas! He is amazing! 🤩
I’m to early so I can’t laugh at comments🥺
🔴 I got you, watch my pick up lines vid. laugh how good and terrible I am 👌😎
Most people I know that are funny just have great timing and think of things to say on the spot.
My problem isn't thinking of funny things to say, its that I don't think of those things until hours if not days later. Kind of like when you lose something because you forgot where you put it, and no matter how hard you try you can't remember where you put it, then a few days later you randomly remember where it is. Like you lost your watch, then a few days later you remember exactly where you put it even though you are doing something that has absolutely nothing to do with that watch.
I like how after you said "Pregnant punchlines" you pulled up Bert Kriescher 😂
I knew it wasn’t just me
His set up and timing are one of a kind!
