＼How to make a joke for the first time／

◆ To start with... making a joke
is to not give the correct answer to a question, but to make a mistake on purpose.
And it is necessary that the person who sees it realizes that it is a mistake.
*This is the difficult part, as there is no one to point out when making a joke

◆ How to make a joke 1: Try making a joke with "photo x dialogue"
Try to imagine what the person in the photo is "likely to say"
Try to think of the opposite of what that "might say" (for example, a serious person saying something unexpected, etc.) Try to
come up with some keywords that relate to the details of the photo or current events
Finally, just go ahead and post it with a "hey ho!". If you're not sure, the trick is to just give it a go!

◆ Method 2 for making bokeh: Try making bokeh using "association x word play"
Make a list of several things (people, objects, scenes, etc.) that come to mind from the photo.
From there, try to associate something else with it (e.g. "classroom" → "lesson" → "dozing off").
Finally, think of a
word that the thing you associated with it would say. When you get an idea, don't think too deeply about it and just post it as "That's it!"


＼How to choose your first theme／

◆ Choose a photo with a "sense of incongruity in the situation"
・A person doing something with a serious expression
・A moment when an animal is moving like a human

◆ Look for a moment when you can "read emotions"
・You can see "emotions" in the expressions and actions of people and animals, such as laughing, anger, or surprise

◆ Choose a photo with a "gap" or "betrayal"
・Appearance and behavior do not match
・There is a punchline in the composition or situation
・Something strange is reflected in a serious scene

◆ "Everyone knows" situations
・School, workplace, home, convenience store, station, school route, etc.
・Everyday scenes are easy for many people to empathize with, and the range of boke is also wide.
