We were lied to. Laughing at your own jokes is an endearing trait...

Who were these people that tried to tell everyone "Laughing at your own jokes is lame. Don't do it."

Of course anything can be taken too far to the extremes, but laughing at your own jokes, at the very least, signifies to others that your confident in yourself and open to fostering a pleasant atmosphere with those around you. The people that laugh at their own jokes are humanities best.

Where are these jerks and what should we do with them after we find them?

I mean if you come up with something truly spontaneous and hilarious, sure.

But I'm confused why there is a picture of Adam Carolla in the OP, there is nothing endearing about that man.

I always laugh at my own jokes. Mostly the inner ones.What can I say? I'm funny.

I wish I had a compilation of the dumb shit eating grins/smirks I make as I hit post on the majority of my GAF posts

I always thought it was kinda cute and funny if someone laughed at their own jokes. Of course there are times it can make you look like an asshole. It just depends.
 
I constantly come up with funny shit at work that I write and/or say to my coworkers/customers. Often I don‘t even care how they‘ll perceive it. Just laugh myself silly when making it up.

Does that count?

I can't even tell jokes. I just start laughing midway and everyone laughs of me laughing. Its surprisingly effective.
