How can you be a funny storyteller?
Use the Paraprosdokian technique to make your conversation funny, interesting and more engaging. But first, let's try to know what does it even mean?
Paraprosdokian is a figure of speech which means changing the ending of your story or a sentence to something unexpected and surprising so that it appears to be funny. And this is precisely what Ryan Reynolds and comedian Ricky Gervais did in the video!
This technique is simple to use and for that, we don't have to be a writer or a comedian. Taking the example of another celebrity; Jennifer Lawrence, in this video, we can learn how to use this technique in three steps. The story can be your personal experience or fiction, aim to understand the funny element and make twists & turns to bring out the surprising ending.
A couple of things we need to keep in mind is, showing the audience that the normal situation that we are narrating turns out to be a little more important. Moreover, try to understand the funny situations that happen to us in our lives so that we can use those elements and make people laugh. Lastly, make sure not to use this technique with the people in the first meeting.
Now you must be wanting to know more about Paraprosdokian and how to use this technique in storytelling and conversation. So, don't wait further and watch the video right now.
