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.

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
