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.

    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

    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

    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

    People who say you shouldn’t laugh at your own jokes are either sad, sad people or have never told a funny joke or story ever.

    There’s jokes and stories I’ve been saying for 20 years that still make me laugh as I’m saying it.

    Be a man, laugh at your own jokes.

    As long as they’re not obnoxiously loud and saying something that’s actually funny, I think it’s completely normal. People usually say funny things that they find funny so it would be natural for them to laugh a little.

    If someone is about to tell me a joke and start laughing mid first sentence it’s a sign that is either going to be very good or so bad it will become good.

    Let them laugh!
