A doomed attempt to impress the unimpressible

In one scene in The Inbetweeners, Jay is challenged to be funny, and does a Crazy Frog impression in a doomed attempt to impress the unimpressable observers.

If someone challenges you to make them laugh, what strategy could you employ, to make them laugh despite themselves?

Psychological manipulation.

Tickling?

Wee-ing in my pants whilst sobbing and singing 'That Don't Impress Me Much' by Shania Twain.

Balloon modelling.

Get naked. Teary

I tell them I want to be a comedy writer.

Laughing out loud

I find just you don't even need to act them out. Just describing them causes hilarity.

Or pull out a gun and say "down on the floor. Laugh! F**king LAUGH"

I wet myself just thinking about that.

Haha, actually does solve a puzzle. Maybe they borrowed Chris Addison's rifle from the Lab Rats studio.

I'd wear a fake moustache, and, with my tongue planted firmly in my cheek, act like I was totally oblivious to the fact that said facial hair is no longer considered fashionable in the Western World, like those hilarious 118 118 chaps do.

Oh my God me too!

Seriously though, I just stare at them and start to crack a smile they're either weirded out or just laugh with me...

it works about 50% of the time... not that I get challenged to make people laugh very often...
