Do you dislike when someone laughs over their own joke? If yes, why? (discuss.tchncs.de)

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.

I like it a lot when professional actors lose it once in awhile, it really adds a lot. I do end up disliking it when they do it too often, like it's part of their shtick. There was a dude on SNL for awhile who always cracked up and i hated him. It's gotta feel authentic to me.

Probably Jimmy Fallon

oh I was thinking Pete Davidson (funnily enough I had to search "druggie snl celeb" for his name and he popped up lol)

I'm the opposite, love dead pan humor though so could be why. Once they start cracking up I'm out of watching SNL. The only times I think it's funny is like "who's line is it anyways" where it's not a scripted scene. SNL tries to do that with prosthetics but it's such a shtick that you can tell the people are laughing because they're supposed to.
