A major key to humour is surprise. Use ideas or imagery that catches people off-guard. Lure them into expecting one conclusion, but instead produce something surreal or grotesque.

I think that your unabashed love for Smirnoff Ice is very funny. It plays perfectly with the gay stereotype."The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is to have with them as little political connection as possible... It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world, so far as we are now at liberty to do it." George Washington- September 19, 1796Comment

Play up the gay stereotype on yourself.
Also watch as MUCH Monty Python as you can.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

I don't know if I can stoop that low, but I can try.

No, I didn't say that... I meant make fun of it using yourself.
And the most important part is MONTY PYTHON. Watch as much as possible. That and Faulty Towers... and also Blackadder. Be sure to read 'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy' and its sequals (all 4), and be sure to read book 1 and 2 over and over repeatedly until it seeps in your unsuspecting skull. ABSORB
And I hope this post doesn't get eaten by the evil forum bug as well. Oh well, here goes... well, something.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Don't listen to Imran, the British can't do anything right."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

The British are funny... just look at their royals.
And one thing they do is self-depreciating humor, something valuable to learn.
First you must learn British humor. Then you must learn North American humor. That is the way it should be.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Canuck comedians are pretty good too. Kids in the Hall, Mike Myers, good stuff.
Also, use absurdities."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

Canuck comedians are pretty good because they are simply wacko cousins of the Brits.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

We just happen to be the ugly stepchildren. At least our Jews are funny though.
