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.
“You’re really cracking yourself up aren’t you?”
To lol or not to lol
If you don’t laugh at your own joke, then it’s probably not funny.
I have no opinion but I feel like laughing is mostly involuntary when its genuine.
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.
Lol
I think those are the best ones.
Sure. But others must also have a chance to hear them too.
Humor is difficult.
It’s tough when it’s actually a bad joke or they are telling it badly, but they find it funny.
If it’s a genuinely funny situation / retelling, both of you laughing about the same thing and also about how the person in question is struggling to breathe because they have to laugh so much, that’s funny.
But it really really really depends.
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.
I have a guy at my work who does this, he half shouts some unfunny thing like “Are you watching porn on your computer?” Then laughs really loudly while everyone else is silent.
Nah, I’d laugh
If it takes them several attempts to tell me something and they’re laughing all the way through it, I assume it’s going to be bad or underwhelming.
I’ve personally heard some of the best ones were when someone keeps themselves steadied enough to tell what a funny story is or what a joke is but then break into laughter towards the end. Just enough to finish the bit.
Sometimes I laugh on purpose to indicate that I’m joking.
Meh, matrix brainwashing. Be yourself.
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!
This right here is the best answer in my opinion. Regardless of the story, the teller is just so into it that they can’t stop laughing. You’re probably going to end up laughing with them.
Oh, laugh if you feel like laughing!
Life is too short to worry about what should be done in which vibe.
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.
Laughing sounds like one of them “emotions” that aren’t sposed to exist for real manly men, so says the teevee

Followed your advice, now my husband complains I’m not the woman he married anymore.
You’re telling the joke because you find it funny, it’s so fucking weird that people seem to not understand that.
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.
