I keep hearing about how you shouldn’t laugh over your own jokes but when I watch a video or listen to a podcast, I find it much more authentic and likable when they laugh over their own jokes in a conversation. You know, vibes.
I probably said the joke because I thought it was funny and so it’s really difficult not to laugh and I don’t care what anyone thinks because I’m an idiot
The only time it can get annoying is if it disrupts the telling of the story multiple times, but I’m also impatient in general
It depends on why they’re laughing for me. Lots of terribly unfunny people essentially provide their own real time laugh track to signal “This is the funny part, laugh please,” which gets old real quick. They also tend to laugh incredibly hard at their own jokes, far more than is merited by the actual joke. Unfunny people trying to force a joke like that get old fast.
On the other hand, I don’t take issue with having a bit of a laugh with everyone else when you land a good one. On rare occasion, there are even jokes that wind up funnier because they’re just so hilarious that the person telling them can hardly get them out without busting up themselves.
Sometimes I laugh on purpose to indicate that I’m joking.
I have no opinion but I feel like laughing is mostly involuntary when its genuine.
My coworker has that kind of sense of humor where he always says the obvious joke you’re hoping nobody will make. Then he laughs, and for some reason, everyone else does.
Also, whenever he helps someone and they thank him, he says, “That will be 10 dollars,” and then laughs about his joke.
The reason i hate it is this: He’s a lazy, quiet-quitting asshole who everyone likes. I, on the other hand, work my butt off. I appreciate a witty, clever sense of humor. However, I’m socially awkward, so nobody likes me!
Did we change what quiet quitting means again? Doing his job and nothing more is a bad thing now?
Doing the least amount possible to keep a job puts pressure on coworkers to take up the slack. I work in an ER, not an office. When someone is in the bathroom texting, more than they are out on the floor helping its shitty, yes.
Being a liability isn’t what I would consider most people’s definition of quiet quitting, especially in that sort of environment.
You may be right, but it was a quick and dirty way of making my point. I didn’t expect the Reddit Inquisition to be here yet.
Nobody expects the Reddit Inquistion!
👀
“Everything i don’t like is reddit” you could have just ignored me instead of being butthurt about it
It was a joke. I originally wrote Spanish Inquisition, but thought it was funnier to call it the Reddit Inquisition. Sorry for my buttholiness.
Fuck that. You should or shouldn’t do whatever you want. I laugh at my own jokes all the time, even when I am alone, or haven’t said the joke out loud. People find it much more off-putting if you just randomly start laughing.
Anyone who has a problem with someone laughing at their own jokes either has trauma or is an asshole not worth anyone’s time.
Not laughing at your own joke is only a requirement for dry humour. I guess some people only like dry humour so they generalise this but most people like all kinds of jokes
You’re telling the joke because you find it funny, it’s so fucking weird that people seem to not understand that.
“You’re really cracking yourself up aren’t you?”
I am indifferent to it because i think it is just logical that people laugh about their own jokes. They have a thought that makes them laugh so they want to share it.
Why should I share a joke that doesn’t make me laught?
I used to have a college professor who would always laugh at his own jokes. Always. His class only laughed maybe half the time. I didn’t mind much because he was a cool guy in general.
I don’t see anything wrong laughing at your own jokes while you’re cracking your audience because comedy is an expression off ur feelings 🤣
OK with laughing over your own joke, but if you burst out and are not even able to finish uttering it, then I think this is a bit childish.
I think those are the best ones.
Lol
Most times I can tell if the laughter is fake or not, and I happened to be in situations when I can’t contain myself to tell the story straigh without laughing my ass off. It depends.
