Types of Humor
• What do you think of when
you think of humor? I’m
guessing that you think of
jokes. Most of us do and
when speakers start using
humor in their speeches,
they add jokes.
![Page 5: Types of humor - public speaking skills - Manu Melwin Joy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070522/58ee34831a28ab2c1a8b472d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Types of Humor
• They give a bit of their
speech, then tell a joke,
then another bit of their
speech, then another
joke… and that’s what the
result sounds like… speech.
joke, speech, joke….
![Page 6: Types of humor - public speaking skills - Manu Melwin Joy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070522/58ee34831a28ab2c1a8b472d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Types of Humor
• Forget jokes, look for
humor that adds to
your speech, makes a
point or illustrates
something you’re
saying.

Types of HumorSelf – effacing humor
• if you want to have a little
fun at someone’s expense,
make sure it’s at yours. As
the speaker you should be
big enough to take a little
ribbing and the audience
will admire you for it.
![Page 8: Types of humor - public speaking skills - Manu Melwin Joy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070522/58ee34831a28ab2c1a8b472d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Types of HumorPersonal anecdotes
• we’ve all had
humorous experiences
or heard people say
funny things, so weave
them into your
speeches.
![Page 9: Types of humor - public speaking skills - Manu Melwin Joy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070522/58ee34831a28ab2c1a8b472d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Types of HumorPersonal anecdotes
• Audiences are more likely to
warm to amusing anecdotes
and observations that draw on
your own experiences. These
stories tend to feel more real,
less forced and give your
audience opportunities to
connect with you as a speaker.

Types of HumorQuotations
• Funny quotes are the No. 1
best way to use humor in a
presentation because funny
quotes are brief, and you can
easily memorize several
quotes that you can toss out
when you think it's time for
some humor.
![Page 17: Types of humor - public speaking skills - Manu Melwin Joy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070522/58ee34831a28ab2c1a8b472d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Types of HumorQuotations
• Plus, when you quote someone else, you're somewhat in safe territory because if it bombs, it was that other person that actually said it, not you, so you gain some distance there. But if the quote gets a great reaction, then you get the credit for making them laugh.

Types of HumorQuotations
• There are huge volumes
of quotations out there
just waiting to be used
to illustrate your points
and add humour to
your speeches.

happy.”

Types of HumorLists

of at least three items
you can inject a little
humor. The first few
items follow a pattern
and the final item catches
the audience by surprise.

practice either of them.”

Types of Humor One liners
• I know I’ve told you
not to tell jokes, but
one liners are short
enough not to
interupt the flow of
your speech.

Types of HumorProps
• I once saw a presenter give a talk about how to deal with problems, and he had a couple of stuffed animals on stage with him - one was a guppy to represent small problems and the other was a whale to represent big problems. Whenever he talked about a big problem and held up the whale, the group would laugh.

Types of HumorCartoons
• If you're using an overhead projector or a PowerPoint presentation, it's very easy to insert a funny one-panel cartoon into your presentation. The funniest cartoons will be ones that have something to do with the topic of your presentation.
