It comes naturally for a lot of people. Umm.. watch some Dane Cook. See what he does with his hands? Sometimes it's not even the story, it's how you tell it.

My advice, don't watch anything by Dane Cook, Chris Rock on the other hand, funny dude.
(Sorry but Cook just isn't funny)

I find myself a DAne Cook EXPERT xD
He isnt funny at all. But STUDY HIM ANYWAY!!!
The reason he is so famous and popular (especially with women) is that he is an AMAZING STORY TELLER like grape said. He can tell stories like no one else, stupid stories or things from everyday life and make them crazy and zany and fun and relateable.
Study how he makes his stories and try to figure out where the basic, underlying, boring theme of it is.
And how to be funnier, watch a lot of good stand up. Stay away from stuff like south park and family guy and the simpsons for daily relateable humor. Watch standup from guys like Jerry Seinfeld or people who relate their comedy to daily, everyday things.

Forget those negative comedians, Mitch Hedburg is the way to go Plus his one liners are great as openers, so long as their not the more obscure ones. Nine

One of the most important things to remember when you are trying to be funny is to stay away from the goofy.
no girls wants to date sponge-bob. Just try to be natural and don't force anything

I always just tease girls about little things, and a big part of a good joke or tease is just having perfect timing

What Enigma said, that and I'm really sarcastic. I've found that the older the girl is the more sarcasm is appreciated.
