A Cool Guy vs An Awesome Person

Sounds like the name of a crappy direct to DVD kids movie you'd see in the discount bin.

[Scoops Novel]

And a very valuable movie.

[Frumple]

... nah, that's more like a 2.99er that wouldn't circulate in a public library. It wouldn't even have a case, it'd be one of those ones that are just in a cardboard sleeve type thing. Valuable it would not be under any reasonable definition of the term.

[King Zultan]

And a very valuable movie.

It can't be that valuable if it's in the discount bucket.

Am I the only person who *really* likes some of my own jokes?  Like, sometimes I'll come up with something and then I'll just laugh at it for a full minute or two.

I can be very narcissistic but it feels like more than that...  Often I have thoughts that take me by surprise, almost external-feeling, and that can trigger the "subversion of expectations" that prompts laughter.  I'm wondering if a more neurotypical mind doesn't surprise itself like that.

Like I'll see a pun opportunity and "send it to the back of my mind"/"let my conscious mind relax" and then potential punchlines pop out for me to consider.  It's kinda like scanning a puzzle or boardgame for possible moves, so maybe it's just that euphoria of finding a clever solution.

Of course some people also don't laugh out loud hardly ever, but I enjoy doing so when I can
Miiiiight be a bit easier for me these days, like crying (both feel good.  therapeutic).

I feel like the emotion of me laughing at my own jokes is less the unexpected punchline and more the manic mad scientist glee of creating something that should not be.

[hector13]

I laugh at my own jokes all the time. My wife thinks I am mad sometimes.

[Egan_BW]

Laughing mad that is!

[TD1]

I laugh at my own jokes all the time. My wife thinks I am mad sometimes.

If that makes you stop laughing   .....      you are sane

If that makes you laugh harder    .....      you are the Joker.

[None]

I laugh at my own jokes all the time. My wife thinks I am mad sometimes.

You're not mad, you're just disappointed.

I get very proud of myself with especially clever jokes. I'll celebrate my own brushes with brilliance, absolutely, especially when it lands really well with your victims friends or acquaintances. There's, uh, a lot of stinky groaners left along the way that I'm certainly not proud of, but I have a reputation to maintain, y'know?
