Things you gotta work on:
1) Context: even if you want to say random stuff, you need to have some context.

2) Rhythm: If you wanna make people laugh, you cannot bomb them with an endless flow of punchlines. There's got to be a release, and an attack, release and attack,...

3) Communication: No matter how fantastic your joke is, the other person needs to understand it in order to find it funny (or not ). For example: "i hate marketeers... why have they no concience? they steal our money they do"... I had to read this sentence 5 times, and I'm still wondering what the punchline was supposed to be.

Practice is the key though

ps.: "bang...kok...kok...bang" made me smile, by the way

my sense of humor is probably a thousand wavelengths away from yours.

(can i say that? I don't have a fucking clue how wavelengths work!)
