How to Sign "Funny" in American Sign Language (ASL)

To sign "funny" in ASL, extend your hand with spread fingers in front of your nose and twist it. This movement copies how a clown's red nose wiggles around, since Americans often think of clowns when they think of funny things and laughter. You can use both hands to show something is really funny. When making this sign, your face should match your meaning - smile and raise your eyebrows if you're truly amused, or keep a straight face if you're being sarcastic.
