I would say learn animation. One of the best tools, is free and thats blender. Don't think of making 3d stuff and making the next toy story though, lol for one, you can buy character models that are rigged in 3d quite cheap, and you can use any 3d blender object from the hive marketplace.
There is grease pencil though (inside blender), thats what i recommend for simpler more viral crazy 2d animation. You can draw characters from ai traces, and use ai for background scenes.
It takes a bit time, but you get good results, and managing an in app timeline is a skill that will pay dividends as nearly everything software video production (that isn't just generated ai) has a timeline feature, and variable options.
Good luck. Hope you can get paid for making people laugh.
