A fifth grader speaker experience was limited to at two page presentation which they gave without any stage fright. That was all observed and judged for getting a prize.


What qualities in a speaker am I seeking for in a professional capacity that would influence me, spark a concept in my head, and be tailored to use it in my own life? It should make me joyful, smile when I think of it, and make me laugh or smile when I hear certain words. WTF comes to mind when I hear such mind-triggering sentences… Oh, oh oh …. Yes, I did say WTF, but my reaction is more like WOW! THAT’S FUNNY!

Why, What, and How Should the Speech Be “Wow! That’s Funny”

WHY: Laughter humanizes the speaker, forges a connection with the audience, enlivens, provides emotional solace, and ignites.

WHAT: The use of diagrams, drawings, graphics, objects, or films, along with gestures, facial expressions, and speaker posture, as well as voice modulation and tone, can all elicit smiles or laughs.


HOW: Focus on a term, phrase, or sentence that links reinterpretation to assumption. The subject, in which you’re incorporating humour, is important.


One theory holds that certain people cannot perform it because it is not in their DNA. My scientific understanding of the DNA code never revealed the word “haha”; therefore, it is not genetic. Stand-up comics learned to be humorous through studying, practicing and performing.
