Don’t try to force anything please or you’re going to lose the joy in life.
The joking I know myself as well, in childhood I was pretty much the worst class clown you can imagine and it continued until I was 21 or so. Usually there seems to be another issue at its core. I stopped doing this after starting to meditate - watching the jokes form in your head - not reacting to them - then seeing them for what they really are. Maybe that could help you as well.
In my case, I found this to be caused partly by my upbringing, a slight emotional neglect that developed together with untreated ADHD and an association of joking to feeling accepted and seen. I still joke now, but I’ve found great enjoyment in a deeper kind of humor that I hide in completely neutral rational discussions and then hits much harder out of the blue. Taking a step back, detaching from thought, allows you to be so much more clever and refined.
