Get him help. Call places that can help him w/ that... he's not going to be happy that you're doing that, being that they might put him away for a bit till he recovers, but if that's what he has to go through to value and appreciate his life, then so be it.
Ask him if he loves himself, If he loves his family members, etc... "If he loves himself, he wouldn't commit suicide"... how can you love someone else if you don't even love yourself???

Remind him that however bad things seem, it's only temporary. Things always get better.
If he's a teenager, remind him that everything that happens before college is just practice, it doesn't really count. No one gets too upset about the pre-season games, he shouldn't get upset about what happens as long as he learns something from it.
If it's a broken heart, tell him EVERYONE has about 6 or 7 broken hearts before they figure out ho love works. Learn from it and try again.

If someone wants to commit suicide, they need serious help.
As a friend I would tell the friend's parent or relative, and have him/her (your friend) call the suicide prevention helpline. It REALLY does help.
Even if you don't think they are serious, be safe and get them help anyway.

It my friend said such a thing, I would be finding a family member and telling them so they could have him evaluated for mental health counseling, etc.
If no other family members, then ask him to come to counseling with you. Many times depression can be alleviated with medication or counseling. And some times it is due to a medical issue not related to mental health. Your friend needs a physical now.

Assuming, the threat is serious: Go to him, and while you're there, call the suicide hotline local number and put them in conference call. Stay with him until the episode passes or he is safe with someone else!
If he's playing the guilt card, recognize it, and deal with it harshly!

well, first of all, if he is telling you that he wanna commit suicide then he really doesn't because suicide victims never tell anyone. second of all, ask him to weigh the pros and cons of his life and ask him is it realy worth putting his loved ones in so much pain. let him know you love him, and then pray for him. thats all you can do, but i personally think he is just crying out for attention.

If you are under 18, you tell his parents, or tell your parents so they can tell his. If you're over 18, he needs to go to counseling. I don't think this is a comment that anyone makes jokingly. If he's saying it, he either means it and is thinking about it or he really needs some serious attention.

I have had a friend that had the same thoughts.
Take him to a counselor, or a phychiatrist.
It helps, and maybe he needs to get on Zoloff (antidepressant) which the doctor can prescribe.
