This is part 1 of a 3-part guide on how the average person can do their own PsyOps.
Whenever you are trying to convey a message, always ensure that there is a level of comedic humor involved. Humor is one of the best disarming mechanisms when it comes to dissemination of propaganda, both in conversation and online. This is one of the reasons the mainstream did so well at capturing the hearts and attentions of the youth for so many decades. It wasn’t because their message was right, but because it was enjoyable. Lately within the past few years, they forgot about the actual value of comedy, and are focused more on being morally objective. Comedy is key, when trying to convey an idea, which most people are uncomfortable talking about.
Any idea or meme you push should carry its truths and present them in a hilarious or ironic manner. This will help whatever idea you’re pushing become more palatable to someone with similar comedic interest. Not only will making something funny make it more enjoyable to intake, but it also makes whatever kind of content you’re trying to push, more likely to be shared by others. Knowing how to debate or disprove an idea is common study, and the mainstream is good at it. However just like relatability to the news has gone downhill, so did the material that most professional comedians produce, these days. That leaves a power void for anyone with a sense of humor, to become influential.
However, besides being funny they also have to be smooth. It’s joke that support both the idea and joke, are combined together in a way that makes them both the same. Don’t state an opinion and follow it up with a joke or vice versa. Make sure the joke and idea are written in the same sentence(s).
The key to comedy, and ultimately red pilling, is to have your jokes be relatable. This is where the professionals mess up. If your comedy can’t relate to how someone feels or isn’t relatable to a problem a person faces, it’s not funny. Most professionals, with use material that network heads feel is politically palatable. Then during standup, can’t relate to anyone, and the comedian becomes a victim of ridicule and low ratings.
To make the viewer laugh in the presence of our iconography and ideas is to lodge them into the viewer’s subconscious as comfortably. This is the way television commercials work.
Different people have different scenes of humor, what works for some people might not work for others. The best thing to do is find something that most people seem to think of as normal behavior, and then find something absurd about the situation, that will emotionally trigger someone. The most common form of this is simply making fun of someone. The triggered person doesn’t need to laugh, just needs to be triggered emotionally. Every good joke has someone or something they make fun of. It’s best if the person who the joke is trying to trigger is disliked by the audience. Usually when comedians try to be nice or moral, they forget this, and their content goes downhill. There are other elements to humor, to learn about too, such as incongruity, surprise, aggression, emotional transformation, apparent comprehension difficulty, etc., as well as a wide variety of biological, social/communicational, and other classes of humor-related phenomena.
Knowing these and how people react to certain jokes will help prevent humor-related misunderstandings, when it comes time to make jokes.
Humor and comedy are ubiquitous, and different types of comedy are found all around the world. Yet what seems to make some laugh, varies from person to person. However, it always seems that people will always laugh, when someone makes fun of something causing problems for the audience members. These jokes are broken up into three categories:
1) Talking about an alternative norm, which is worse than the current the current situation.
“I could be at my mothers-in-law’s place.”
2) A weak commitment to violate or break free from a norm
“Man, I could really use a divorce right now.”
3) Distancing yourself from a violation of the norm.
“I love paying taxes, wish I could pay even more.”
Violating a norm or pointing out how bizarre a person or situation is, is usually the best form of comedy, especially when most people agree with your joke, but are too afraid to say anything. Jokes that violate the moral norm usually generate the most laughter. While clean and friendly jokes don’t produce much enjoyment for the audience. The way people react to unfriendly jokes can cause more laughter when their response is more of an emotional outburst compared to laughter and conversation.
If you decide to make a comedy account online, or try comedy on your own, it’s important for you to spend time, and test different material, to see how people react differently. Each person who’s good at comedy has their own comedic style. While there might be some good comedians to learn from, copying someone’s style and joke verbatim doesn’t work. It’s best to develop your own style, with an ability to change your content and create new material. Some of the best laughs you will ever get from people will be very focused on the timing of other events. South Park is a great example of this, where they are constantly using current events to base their material on.
If you ever need to complain about something, make sure you include humor in your complaint about anything. It doesn’t matter who or what you’re complaining about, any form of complaining is usually a turn off for anyone listening. Making a joke, while making a complaint makes it more palatable for the person receiving the complaint. Even if it’s something small that you want to bring up about a person or anything else, a benign insult, that’s funny but also states the problem will due. When someone complains about something on social media, under the façade of humor, it’s more likely to be shared with other desired reactions compared to people complaining in a non-humorous way about stuff on the same platform. Non-comedic complaining might get some attention from people closest to them, but that’s it. This use of comedy in complaining can be used to warn, entertain, and even generate favorable impression of the person making the complaint, which otherwise wouldn’t happen, if they were not funny.
When people feel that your dissatisfaction with someone or something is relatable, they are more likely to agree with you, and open up personally about other topics with you. Praising a bad situation or a bad person has become such a norm that this style of comedy really makes a person stand out. Not only does it make you more likeable (if you’re actually funny) it helps shed light on negative situations which would normally never be looked at. But be careful, too much humor in your complaining can make you come off as non-serious and can have your complaining and jokes backfire.
