6 Reasons to Laugh at Your Own Jokes
Kotaku

Funny people of the world, it's time to start laughing at your own jokes.

1. You're funny--

2. --and you know it.

Laughter is the most polite way of saying that you know how funny you are.

3. Sometimes it's just impossible not to.

You know that you'll crack eventually. Just embrace it.

4. Your laughter adds to the joke.

Stefon breaking character is just as funny as Stefon in character.

5. Bloopers are hilarious because we love watching people laugh at their own jokes.

" The Office" is funny precisely because of the awkward silence instead of laugh tracks, but the bloopers are hilarious because we finally see them laugh at their own jokes.

6. Just like a laugh track on a TV show, it's a friendly reminder to those around you that you've made a joke and they should be laughing too.

Someone has to laugh at the joke even if it's just you.


So don't listen to F. Scott Fitzgerald. As Owen Wilson says in "Marley and Me," "But sometimes you gotta laugh at your own jokes 'cause it's funny."

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
