What is the ability to say clever and funny things what it called?

There isn't one single word that perfectly captures the ability to say clever and funny things. Here are some options, each with slightly different nuances:

General terms:

* Wit: This is a classic term for the ability to use words in a clever and amusing way. It implies quick thinking and sharp intellect.

* Humor: A broader term encompassing all forms of amusement, but can also refer to the ability to create or appreciate humor.

* Cleverness: This emphasizes the intellectual aspect of using words in a clever way, but doesn't necessarily imply humor.

* Sarcasm: A form of humor that uses irony to convey a meaning opposite to the literal one.

More specific terms:

* Punster: Someone who enjoys and is skilled at using puns.

* Comedian: Someone who performs stand-up comedy, often using clever and funny observations and jokes.

* Wordsmith: This emphasizes the skill with language, but doesn't necessarily imply humor.

The best word to use will depend on the specific context and the kind of cleverness and humor being described.
