There's this guy in one of my classes that's really funny. He's not an attention whore, but he definitely COULD be. He's hilarious; everything he does is funny and everybody laughs. There's no way to AMOG him, and I'm not really friends with him.
So in general, how do you deal with guys that are really funny and just commanding people's attention with resorting to AMOGing ("joker") type comments?
No way to AMOG him? LOL.
Best amog tactic - ever.
Act uninterested in his DHV. Anything that should impress you (including humor), act like you dont care. Not offensively or sarcastically, politely, but ust have the frame its no biggie.
The rest of the group will love him, but see this disinterest which you are showing. This will lower his value to the group, and he will see this, so he will attempt to qualify himself to you. Now hes in your hands

.
Still act disinterested, and compliment him. With a heavy frame. A funny guy -
''You are absolutely hilarious man. Like the funniest guy I have had talk to me in aggggess. I know your gonna keep making us laugh man. Your fun to be around

''
He cant dis you or anything, coz youve just been really nice. He would make himself look a dick.
Its now his actions after this that determine the alpha. He will either validate himself to you as a result of your disinterest and by you making him feel so on the spot in front of the group, in which case your AMOG. Or he will fail to validate himself to you, making himself look a tool. In fact the only way to reverse this, is flip the frame back around on you, and its unlikely hes going to try it.
