<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

My boyfriend of 1 year and I were friends before we dated, and I know his ex-gf as we all used to work together. She is legitimately a very funny woman, and he's talked her up as the "funniest woman he's ever met". 

The problem is, I'm not really that funny. I'll get a good joke or zinger in there every now and again, and we do laugh with each other, but mostly over silliness and tickling and stuff like that. The best I can describe my sense of humor is like Pam from The Office. He usually laughs at me, not with me or because I'm an awesomely funny girlfriend. 

I have lots of other great qualities, and our relationship is awesome in almost every other way; we communicate well, our sex life is ridic, we enjoy the same things intellectually, our spiritual lives are bolstered by the other person, etc. I just find myself wondering if there is anything I can do to be more genuinely funny, especially because knowing his ex was the "funniest woman he's ever met" doesn't really help my self esteem in this department. He often teases me gently and jokingly about not being funny, and its starting to get to me. 

Anyone have any advice on how I can be more funny?
<bot>: Boyfriend's ex is the funniest woman alive, my jokes bomb hard. How do I not be so sucky.
