Keep in mind that even if you say something funny, people often won't laugh if you don't sound like you're saying something funny unless you're using very deadpan humor. Also, timing is key. If you think of something funny, but the time in the conversation when it would be relevant is past, just hold onto it unless it is absolutely hilarious.
Humor is often based on unexpected connections. Using words in ways different than usual, relating real life to a well-known TV show, anything unexpected or taboo. So if you make an unusual observation, ask yourself how you can make that connection seem humorous.
