Can you laugh at yourself?

[XMark]

Nobody's perfect and dumb things that people do are funny. If you can't laugh at yourself, you're missing a lot of the best jokes

I tend to take it a little far at times so it just gets sad... but yeah, I can laugh at myself, though I see no joke when it comes to my country, only tears come when I think of that. It's truly a tragedy at times...

Taking yourself as a person seriously is very important, metaphysically. But simultaneously being able to laugh at yourself is also important, psychologically. I always take myself seriously, but I can always laugh at myself too. Even if it's only after the fact. Believing oneself to be laughable on a whole is problematic, but I would hate to not be able to do laugh at myself altogether.

Gotta laugh at myself all the time. I mean, the subject matter is so ridiculous that it's tough not to laugh. The man we're dealing with is an obvious idiot after all...

On a serious note, I sort of came to a conclusion when I was a kid and have maintained it ever since, especially when people accuse me of being silly and not serious. If I can bring a little humour into a universe of darkness at my own expense, then hell yes I'll keep being a silly ass.

Lol, i'm from Yorkshire which means i'm a depressive moaning bastard with a penchant for pies and alcahol. I laugh at this all the time until i spill crumbs and beer on myself...then i moan like a bastard about it.

I can, I just need to be around friends. Won't do it with strangers.

I feel sorry for people who can't laugh at themselves. When people see you do something embarrassing, they laugh as it is just human nature ... you can either laugh along and own the shame or storm off and throw a strop, which just makes it all the more fun.
