      Tips

      • Pause just before you deliver your joke’s punchline to give people a second to think. This makes the joke even funnier. [1]
      • Don’t worry if people don’t laugh. Not everyone likes pirate jokes or maybe they’ve heard it before. It’s not necessarily a criticism of your joke-telling skills. [2]
      • Tell the setup in your normal voice, but lean into the “pirate voice” for the punchline to give it more punch. Varying your tone and committing to the joke sells the humor to your audience. [3]
