One thing you should try doing is telling them a story.
The other day I wet my bed.
Uh-huh.
Leave a gap or tell them a punchline with no humour.
I got out and went to change the sheets.
Uh-huh.
Make them laugh by using your experience or imagination. If you've been reading the example you'll notice that the guy on the right isn't listening properly.
I smelt it and it smelt like a big whoppa from when I had given my cat lemon juice.
Uh-huh. I prefer to eat the big whoppa before drinking the lemon juice too you know.
People who are looking for the comic and not the advice you shouldn't be reading the narration because it spoils the punchline.
