Have a good sense of humor.

Retitle your sentences.
Reframe an action under a different name, usually in an exaggerated manner. For example, instead of saying something like, ‘He gets the same coffee every day.’, you can say, ‘His blood is probably half latte these days.’

State the opposite.
Answer a question or statement with the opposite of the truth in a joking and often sarcastic manner. For example, “Who the hell was that?” “I’m guessing it wasn’t Brad Pitt.”

Underplay impact.
You can underplay the impact or damage made by something in a sarcastic manner. For example, “I didn’t mean for that e-mail to get sent out!” “Don’t worry, it just upset the entire management team.”

Emphasize the opposite of something shared.
This is where you take something that you share with the other person, and talk as if the opposite is true. For example, if someone spills their drink, “You can see why this place has won awards for cleanliness!”

Observe things literally.
This is when you break something that you have observed down into very descriptive components. For example, about a bodybuilder’s arms: “That bicep is literally the size of my head.”

An unexpected conclusion.
This is when you are telling a story that seems to lead to a certain conclusion, but the conclusion you actually use is completely different from what they expect. For example, “I might not see my grandma again after this.” “Is she okay?” “She’s fine, I just don’t like her very much.”
