Presented by DJ Rev. Dr. Ryan Drake
President of Twitter
HUMOR
What is funny?
Are you not entertained?
NOT SUITABLE
FOR
CONFLUENCE
Humor is important
- Shakespeare didn’t get by on his stunning good looks.
- A good sense of humor can make you smarter.
- Humor can shape some of our choices.
- Funny things get exposure.
The most important thirteen words I can pass along to you:
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE “FUNNY” TO HAVE A
GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR.
Be one of these three things:
- Educational
- Beneficial
- Funny
These things are boring offline
But are amazing online
They interact with their audience
They interact with their audience
And sometimes with each other
Make the situation enjoyable
There is an audience in Oklahoma
There is an audience in Oklahoma
Takeaways
- Humor is important, in real life and online.
- People will follow the most boring things if they are funny.
- Make your interactions enjoyable.
- Oklahoma has a scene that is receptive to local humor.
THANK YOU.
