Comedians are so talented that they can make their own jokes from nothing. They are so witty that you will be surprised at how fast their minds work and come up with an unscripted retort to a fellow comedian's tirades. How do they do it? What are their secrets? Do they depend on joke books to come up with their own material? What are their sources of material for their jokes? Listed below are some of the techniques they employ and the basis for their jokes.
Newspapers. If you want to widen your sources for jokes and funny stories, you must be well read and up-to-date about what is going on around you and around the world. If it is something that makes you say, "What the?!", then, you might consider including it on your jokes materials.

Study what you see on TV and see if you can expound on them even more. There is nothing wrong about getting ideas from what you see on television because they are purely for entertainment purposes only. What you should avoid though is "stealing" another writer's or comedian's material and passing it as your own. Make a review of the following sitcoms: How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, and Seinfeld. All have been successful in making people laugh, and what makes them interesting is how a seed idea has grown so big that the sitcoms became hit shows. Talk about creativity!
Make use of inanimate objects and animate them. How about animating objects around you now? A talking chair, perhaps? Like, if your chair could talk right now, what do you think it would be saying to you or to the one sitting on it? What I am driving at is you should not be looking for something funny because you might not see or even notice them. What you should do instead is to look for what is funny about a chosen object.
Specify everyday events that people take for granted. We do so many things that we just accept as is, but has a huge impact on our lives without even realizing it. And that if we take it away, we realize it was something we could actually live without. For instance, brushing the teeth as soon as you wake up, then eating breakfast and brushing the teeth once again.
Make use of all wrong impressions and misrepresentations and intermingle

Make use of all wrong impressions and misrepresentations and intermingle facts to make it funnier. Even if the result does not make any sense, putting those ideas together is what makes the situation funnier. As an example, there is a saying that goes, "swallowing gum will make the gum stay in your stomach for seven long years". This is such an absurd idea, and yet the absurdity itself is what makes it funny. Back up this joke with medical findings and how doctors "agree" to this idea, and you have a funny joke already.
