would you rather be "alpha" or be funny. I'd rather have a good laugh, troll around a little, because it makes life a lot more fun. things aren't that serious, and maybe it's time to let go. https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow
Chapter 1: Why is humor important in life?
Sometimes I feel that the Joker is literally me. What? What are you saying? What I'm saying is I like to troll. I like to joke around. I like having a laugh. I think that humor really heals a lot of wounds. And if you're able to laugh at yourself, you will have a great relationship with yourself. I've developed...
Chapter 2: What happens when people take humor too seriously?
a lot of inside jokes, a lot of funny bits with my roommates, with my parents, with my loved ones. And it's awesome. It's awesome. But I do think that there are people who take everything way too seriously. It is not that deep. But it makes me ask the question, why so serious? Okay, enough with that joker impression. Bro, relax. It is not that serious. It is not that serious.
Chapter 3: How can humor help with personal relationships?
I have made jokes that have been offensive. There is a difference between being offensive and someone who just doesn't know how to let go. Who, when you make a troll at them, they sit and go... Really? Oh, that's interesting. Because no, because you do this all the time. It's like, bro, like, damn, Daniel, relax. What? I'm trolling. People be sensitive, bro. That's what I've really learned.
People are sensitive. And you have to kind of test the waters, I think, with humor because humor is a tool. Don't get it twisted. You can really Get to the key of somebody's soul and somebody's heart through humor. But not all humor is the same, and some people, their humor is very dry. Other people, their humor is very tame. People like me, it's rotted. I have rot in my brain. Like chopped chin.
Chapter 4: What are the risks of using humor to deflect serious topics?
Like... Sigma. That's that's just swirling around. It's like, you know, when you watch I don't know if any of you have watched like the lottery, but low key, I would watch the lottery sometimes with my parents. They would sometimes play the lottery or my grandparents. And it's like my brain just has like a lottery machine. It's whatever comes out. Oh, OK. I'm feeling Sigma today.
That's what that's the that's just what I say. I need to get it checked out, bro. I need to because this chopped chin, I've been running. It's too much. Anyways, but I. I really also love ironic humor. I love when somebody makes a troll and it's like supposed to be serious, but it's not. It's like a joke and you have to kind of find the irony. I love ironic humor.
And I have found that not everybody likes ironic humor because I've made jokes where people are like, Why would, what? Like, you're gonna, what do you mean you're chopped chin? I'm not, no, I'm not chopped chin. What? Huh? You understand Squid Game? No, I'm joking. I don't speak Korean. I would love to speak Korean, but I don't. I'm just making the joke that, oh yeah, I speak Korean.
I understand everything that they're saying when I don't. That's why I need subtitles on Squid Game. By the way, Squid Game season two, awesome. So far on episode three, tap in. Bro, but like, why are people so uptight? Why do some people not have senses of humor at all? I don't know if y'all have encountered this, but I have met so many people who cannot laugh at themselves.
Chapter 5: Why do some people struggle to laugh at themselves?
We can do everything that comes. Das Handwerk.
They don't know how to laugh at themselves. It's almost as if there is this...
This epidemic of letting go of anything that makes your personality you. And part of that is humor. And I think I know why it's happening. I think it's because, at least in a lot of my guy friend spaces, we consume a lot of media that is reflective of what we are experiencing. And a lot of guys, myself included, feel lonely.
So we want to counter that loneliness because we think it is something that is a problem with us. Because on Instagram, the guy that is in Dubai doesn't seem very lonely. He seems like he's got a couple of Bugattis that are keeping him company. So it makes you feel a little bit sad or whatever. And so sometimes like the advice you get is you have to be serious. Be more serious.
Be the mysterious man. What? Some of the coolest people I know are the funniest people. They're hilarious and they are not afraid. They are brave because they will make jokes even when nobody gets it. They will make jokes and they will make those jokes the way they want to. And you will have to learn their humor and be like, OK, that guy's funny. Actually, their humor is pretty funny.

Chapter 6: How can humor impact our perception of others?
But there's this weird kind of, like, aura of... Like, no, you need to be serious all the time. You need to lock in all the time. You're in pain? Good. You ran seven miles today and you can't walk? Good. You'll learn to love it. Like... Honestly, some of my favorite core memories were not the seven-mile runs at 5 a.m.
They were me laughing with my boy Luis as we were trolling about music or trolling about soccer or whatever we were talking about. And those were those still to this day are some of my favorite memories. Some of the inside jokes I have with people are hilarious. I love when I can go into my house. I smell the Japanese curry that my roommate Dylan is cooking and I say, Phantom tax. And I just grab.
I don't actually grab, but I like take a piece of it and I eat it and we laugh and it's funny. But with some people, there is a lack of letting go. And I wonder where that comes from, because there's another end of it where I have found myself being too
too troll I have been too much of a jokester of a prankster of a class clown that when it comes to being serious people cannot recognize that and that's also been you know it's a balance like it really comes down to a balance of something that is healthy because there are people that you can't just take seriously because they're always joking you don't know when they're serious and there are also people who
Use humor to deflect. They like don't want you to know the person they actually are. So they are going to play these mind games and always keep you guessing. And oh, this is painful because this is going to hit my ego. But I've done that. That's me. Hello. I've done that. I've done that. I've been on dates and I've had a hard time opening up because I'm like, well, what if this person hurts me?

Chapter 7: What balance should we find between humor and seriousness?
Chapter 8: How does media influence our understanding of loneliness?
I don't actually grab, but I like take a piece of it and I eat it and we laugh and it's funny. But with some people, there is a lack of letting go. And I wonder where that comes from, because there's another end of it where I have found myself being too

And oh, this is painful because this is going to hit my ego. But I've done that. That's me. Hello. I've done that. I've done that. I've been on dates and I've had a hard time opening up because I'm like, well, what if this person hurts me?
Bruh.
And I've... I've, like, put on this front and just made jokes. And as long as it makes them laugh, we're good. But... Dang, I'm kind of eating my words because then it's like, well, why so serious, Serki? It doesn't matter. You can just joke. But sometimes there is a time and a place where, like, the good thing is probably not to troll. It's probably to open up and just be honest.
But it's weird because I weave humor into everything. Yeah. And sometimes, like, you know, my expressions are funny. Like, you know, I'll use... I'll be talking about a serious thing where I'm like, dude, like, somebody phantom taxed my bike from the library and it's gone. And, like, you know, it'll be funny, but it's serious.
I'm like, I'm not happy that my bike is gone, but it's... I find humor in expressing that. I hope I'm making sense. It's not that serious, but... There is a part of me that regrets at times being too much of a jokester because it has impacted the way people view me and it's not something I can control.
But when I started being more serious or I tried to, people would think I was like joking and I'd be like, no, like what? There was one time I remember where I was being honest with a friend from high school and I was like, this is a struggle that I'm going with. Like, this is a struggle I'm going through. And they're like, oh, it's funny. And I was like, what? Dude, like, I'm not joking.
Like, I actually went through this. And they're like, what? And I'm like, dude, I'm I'm being like so for real right now. Like, I went through this and this was really affecting me. And they're like, oh, oh, that's weird. And I'm like, bro, why? And they're like, because you're dude, you're the guy who makes jokes like that's what? Like, why are you being serious?
