I had a professor in my undergraduate degree who had a very dry delivery -- just part of his personality, nothing he could do. He started shaking things up in my junior year by working in very funny cs jokes, but with his dry delivery, and the result was everyone began listening to every word he said in case there was some hidden punchline. This could backfire badly though if the jokes aren't truly hilarious, but maybe something to try if you have the knack for it. I say this because some people are just so monotone that this is really their only shot.
