Access to recording supplies and content platforms is easier than ever with apps and phones, and the internet is flooded with funny videos and memes. If you have a good sense of humor and have thought about getting creative and making some funny videos of your own, you may be wondering how to be funny and relatable enough to rack up the views. A good place to start is by looking at examples on some of the funniest websites. Funny websites like Break.com and 9GAG are good spots to view humorous pictures and videos to see the kinds of things that people like and find funny. This will help you generate your own ideas when you start writing sketches or recording yourself.

Once you’re reading to start filming, you definitely need the proper tools for recording video and audio and platforms for uploading. Many of these tools are free and available as easy-to-use apps, which is good news if you’re making a video by yourself on a tight production budget. There are plenty of different formats to choose from to help you be even funnier, from videos you can dub and lip syncs to video memes with captioning tools. When you’ve created your video, apps are also a great tool for posting on meme websites and getting your creation out there. Your funny videos can also be used as good social media content on your own pages, which will help you to build your personal brand.

If comedy skits are more your thing, you may want to try your hand at writing and performing sketch comedy with a group of friends. If you’re not sure where to start, writing prompts and other exercises can be a great way to get the creative juices flowing. Most sketch comedy and comedic TV shows are written in a writer’s group, so it’s okay to get your friends involved with the script or even with recording a group improv. You’ll have hours of fun spending time with fun people and sharing in some laughs together. Who knows? Your video might end up trending on YouTube.
