How to be funny

I would agree. I'm only just starting out and I still don't feel very confident talking to the camera, but whenever I do, it shows. The more confident I am, the less I think about what people will think of me, the more fun I have, the funnier I am (that's subjective of course ;)).
 
I'm having a hard time being funny or even talking good when I'm not afraid :P when I'm playing horror games the real me is coming out as I don't have time to thing and I'm really afraid xD
 
Humor is subjective. Not everyone will find the same things funny. I know this because I joke around when I'm at work and my supervisor find me hilarious while a couple of my coworkers just roll their eyes. I recommend being yourself and letting your personality run wild.
 
There's no such thing as trying to be funny. Humor is subjective. Humor is how ever you think should be funny, not how everyone ELSE thinks on why something is funny. Let loose on your ideas. you may get negativity from people, but then again, there's no such thing as "flawless feedback".

For example, there's people who think Monty Python's productions are amazingly humorous to the point of becoming a major cult classic in media entertainment history. There's others who think it isn't. Obviously, the loving audience outweighs the unloving. Personally, I don't find myself laughing at the jokes and gags, but it's an acquired taste by people, and I see how they would laugh at it.

What I'm getting at is that you should do what you feel is funny. Don't do what others think is funny, because that's how you become confused in the source material. Parody and satire could be a way to go, but don't try to limit yourself just to it. You can try to become creative in your jokes, and that actually is a really good thing. Cleverness in humor makes it more humorous... in my opinion. And as of what a lot of others said in this topic, be yourself. Don't limit yourself to appeal to the majoring audience. That's why shows like Family Guy isn't funny... again, in my opinion.
