A lot of thought goes into making people laugh. Comedy is never easy. Making people cry is easier than making them laugh.

When China sends over their people to negotiate, they pick their meanest, smartest, most vicious guy; and these guys, they don't play games. They don't laugh, they don't cry, they have no emotion. They just want to make money, and they just want to rip our country to shreds.

You can laugh at somebody because they are innocent, and because they are naive or they are about to walk into a wall, but if somebody's giving you stuff, if somebody's talking, giving you their take on things, what makes you laugh, generally speaking, is going to be somebody who is telling it in an angry way.

Dylan Moran

Stand-up and sketch and improv - that's the most direct contact you can have with somebody, making them laugh. I like that. I like the intimacy.

I have a very high respect for professional comedians. What they do astonishes me. You have to be really smart and absorb everything, repackage it, bring it back to the person, and make them laugh at themselves. I can make people laugh during my talks because they didn't come to have me make them laugh. It's added value. So my job is way easier than that of a professional comic.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

The next time you and somebody are in an elevator alone, give them the creepiest stare followed by the creepiest smile ever. While they're leaving, give them a crazy laugh and say, 'It was a meet to pleasure you'.
