Laughter is one of the best ways to bond with others. There’s nothing better than when you and your friends can erupt in giggles and always have a good time no matter what’s happening around you. Being the resident comedian is awesome and uplifting to people you love, and you probably have a good time, too. Here are 17 signs you’re the funny bone of your friend circle.
1. You Say What Other People Don’t.
Sometimes it’s the person who’s brave enough to make a joke during a serious moment or say what’s on everyone’s mind but that no one’s speaking aloud who ends up being the funniest. You use humor to diffuse arguments and tense situations like a pro (without being mean or targeting people).
2. You’ve Got Great Comic Timing.
Whether it’s a well-timed punchline or a witty reply, your comedic timing is top-notch. You should’ve been a stand-up comedian, and chances are your friends tell you that regularly. Hmm, if your day job doesn’t work out, this could be a cool idea! You know just when to throw in a hilarious comment that has everyone bowled over with laughter.
3. You Find Hilarity In The Mundane.
You don’t wait for something hugely funny to start cracking up. Instead, you’re skilled at finding funny moments in everything, even doing the laundry or hailing a taxi on a night out. The funniest things are the truest, which is why observational humor is so big.
4. You’re A Meme Collector.
You always manage to find the funniest memes to send to your friends so you bring laughter into their boring days or you break the tension during a serious group chat. They can always rely on you for something silly and fun, and you always manage to track down things they haven’t seen before.
5. Â You’re An Excellent Storyteller.
Knowing how to craft a story so that you maximize its punchline is one of your best traits. You might even add some animated gestures and laughter into the mix to take people over the edge. This talent for spinning a yarn makes you hilarious to everyone you meet.
6. You Don’t Even Have To Say Anything.
Sometimes all your friends need to crack up is to look at your funny facial expressions. They’ll burst out laughing without you even having to say anything because a single look is worth a thousand words if you know how to do it right.
7. You’re On Call For Crack-Ups.
It seems like your friends always reach out to you when they need someone to lighten and brighten their day. Even if they’re going through something stressful, they’ll be chuckling by the end of the call. Your empathy helps to make you even funnier because you know what they need.
8. You’re Sarcastic.
They say sarcasm is the lowest from of wit, but you bust that myth! Sarcasm comes naturally to you and your friends appreciate the clever way you can bring it into any conversation. The best part is that you know how to use it strategically — too much would be overkill, so you’re great at striking a balance.
9. You Turn Awkward Moments Into Jokes.
Those awkward moments on a first date or when meeting someone new can be stressful, but you’ve mastered turning them into humorous opportunities. A quick-witted joke or funny observation is enough to make everyone laugh and ease the tension. Some of your best relationships have started with laughter!
10. You Bring Yourself Down In A Good Way.
Sometimes a bit of self-deprecating humor is all that’s needed to make everyone feel happier. You poke fun at yourself, which can encourage other people to do the same thing. It’s all in good fun. You don’t take yourself too seriously, and that works in your favor.
11. Your Laughter Is Contagious.
When you laugh at someone’s joke or your own, your friends can’t keep it together. Your laughter is so unique and contagious that it keeps setting everyone off. Maybe you have a strange squeal or you snort when you’re cracking up. Either way, the mere sound of your laughing is enough to get everyone rolling in the aisles.
12. The Party’s Boring Until You Arrive.
Get-togethers only become fun when you enter the room. You bring an aura of excitement and fun with you, which prepares people for having the best laughter of their lives. Sometimes you even have them cracking up with your funny entrances. When you’re around, they know a good time is just around the corner.
13. People Turn To You For Commentary.
When someone in your friend circle expresses an opinion or tells a story, everyone looks at you. They’re waiting for you to put a funny spin on things or to tell it like it is in a humorous way. They know you’ll have a unique perspective that will have everyone snickering in no time.
14. You’ve Got Famous Sayings.
You’ve made such funny remarks over the years that your friends still recall them often — that’s how memorable they are. They might even ask you to retell some of your funniest stories, which is a great ice-breaker during social settings when meeting new people.
15. Your Friends Hide Embarrassing Stories From You.
Some friends might try to keep their lips zipped on embarrassing things that have happened to them. They know that if you catch wind of them, you’ll turn them into funny stand-up comedy sessions that will keep embarrassing them for years to come.
16. People Expect You To Be Funny.
One of the problems with being the funny one in the group is that your friends have come to expect you to be hilarious all the time. So, if you want to have a serious talk with them or share sad news you heard, you’ll have to go to great lengths to convince them that you’re not playing around.
17. You’re The Prankster.
If you’re the funny one, you might also be the resident prankster. No one can pull off a prank like you can. Whether it’s signing people up to a fake mailing list or scaring people by wearing weird masks, you’re always thinking of the funniest way to make people laugh when they least expect it. Never a dull moment!
