A case where a person (often a comedian) will laugh at his own jokes. May be a sign that such characters are not as funny as they think they are. Sometimes involves Don't Explain the Joke, especially if no one else laughs. There is a bit of real life stigma against this, but nowhere near as much as you'd expect compared to film or television. Laughing at one's own jokes in certain social situations is a good way of signalling that you're being friendly and jovial, but overdoing it can be irritating. Nevertheless, media will usually depict characters who laugh as a catch-all semiotic that they are meant to be taken as lame and unfunny. If a villain does this, expect a Laugh with Me! moment. Sometimes a sign of The Bore. Might also be done in a case of Tough Room. |

In the Adventure Time episode "Power Animal", Jake cracks himself up so hard when he teaches a couple of nymphs how to carry a joke that he spends the rest of the scene just laughing before it abruptly cuts away to Finn and the gnomes that abducted him. When the cartoon eventually cuts back to Jake, it's revealed he spent so long laughing at his own joke that he passed out. | |

From The Simpsons, When Troy McClure takes Selma out to dinner, we jump cut into the end of a story without even hearing the Orphaned Punchline. Marge does this occasionally, as she gives her best one-liners when no one's around. Principal Skinner does this in "The Boy Who Knew Too Much", chuckling at a joke he said to himself and then stated he wished other people were around to hear it. |

Happens fairly often on Whose Line Is It Anyway? due to the improvisational nature of the show. One of the best examples occurred immediately after the famous game of "Newsflash" where Colin (the constant target of jokes regarding his hair loss), while unknowingly "reporting" on clips of himself from past episodes, answered the question "How did it start?" with, "It all started with a badly-timed bald joke!" Colin didn't laugh when making the joke, but rather as a Delayed Reaction after the game ended and he suddenly realized, in the context that he hadn't been aware of at the time, that the joke was even funnier than he had intended. | |

Everworld: While complaining about how the titular setting's Patchwork Map climates and ecosystems should not be able to work, Jalil mentions something about deciduous forests, upon which Christopher lightly mocks him for knowing that term and jokingly asks if anyone sees any gymnosperms. Jalil asks if he even knows what a gymnosperm is, to which Christopher instantly replies "The diagnosis for a guy named Jim who can't have kids?" He then shamelessly cracks up, explaining that he came up with that joke in junior high and had been waiting years for an opportunity to finally use it. | |

Our Miss Brooks: Mr. Boynton did this on a regular basis, both on radio and on television. His jokes are rarely that funny. In "Red River Valley", Mr. Boynton gives Miss Brooks a joke-book and cracks himself up trying to tell the joke. In "The Auction", Mr. Boynton breaks himself up over the idea of leading his frogs on a leash downtown and telling the public to "get hopping" to Madison High. At the start of "Non-Fraternization Policy", Mr. Boynton tells a long, involved joke involving three turn-of-the-century Irish policemen and a horse. Mr. Boynton finds the joke funny. Nobody else does. |

A 1961 Popeye cartoon has Popeye and Brutus jockeying for a job at the city zoo to be near zookepper Olive Oyl. To get the job, they have to make a lugubrious hyena laugh. Brutus's joke, below, is met with the hyena making a "square" with his front paws and Winston Sharples' "wah...wah...wah..." background music. Popeye's joke sampled from Groucho Marx but it did make the hyena laugh. In "Hits And Missiles," Popeye laughs at his own joke of people living on the moon being "lunar-tics." Olive is not so easily amused. |

Joker (2019): This trope is what kills Arthur Fleck's stand-up comedy career before he can even get a joke out. To be fair, it's not his fault; he suffers from pseudobulbar affect (or so he thinks), which causes involuntary laughing fits that don't match what Arthur is feeling at the time. After Arthur fully becomes The Joker, he continues laughing at his own jokes... only instead of his relatively innocuous stand-up routine, he's laughing at morbid comments that nobody else finds any humor in. | |

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies have a habit of making Splinter make a bad joke while doing this once a movie. The original movie has him suggest the turtles' iconic Cowabunga catchphrase, which he ends with "I made a funny!" Secret of the Ooze has him punish his sons for being spotted by making them do flips while chanting "Go, Ninja, Go!" (to which he adds "I made another funny!") The third movie has him imitate Elvis in Blue Hawaii, even explaining the reference. However, that time, him laughing at himself was more justified as he was trying to cheer up Michelangelo, who feared he'd never laugh again. | |

In the Season 1 finale of One Piece (2023), Mihawk makes a crack about Shanks wouldn't be much of a fight now that he's "half the man he used to be", leading Shanks (who is very hung over at the time) to respond that he could take him with "one arm tied behind his back". Shanks cracks up before he can even finish his line, and his entire crew cackles along with him. | |

On Saturday Night Live: In "Weekend Update", Bill Hader as culture reporter Stefan often cracks up because the writer of the bit changes the cue cards at the last minute to stuff even more outrageous than planned. In a "Celebrity Jeopardy!" skit, Sean Connery would nearly always crack up at his own obnoxious jokes while Alex Trebek would wear an annoyed deadpan expression. |

A common challenge on Impractical Jokers involves the Jokers sitting in a quiet waiting room and trying to make the others laugh, with the last one standing the victor. Sal nearly always loses because he has a bad habit of cracking up at his own jokes, sometimes before he even reaches the punchline. | |

3-2-1 Penguins!: In the episode "The Green-Eyed Monster", Zidgel laughs at his "Nice to meet ewe" pun and explains it. He does this again in "Git Along, Little Doggies" after he says how that cow can really mooooooove. He does this for a third time in "Wise Guys" after he remarks that he thought his crew had a heavy duty mission when it seemed rather light to him. (Light as in their next mission involves light bulbs) |

In the Monty Python's Flying Circus sketch "The Funniest Joke in the World", the original writer of the joke in question reads it after writing it down and dies laughing. Once the joke is weaponised, it has to be read to the Germans by men who don't understand German, to prevent this from occurring. For the same reason, the translation was done by having several translators work on one word only; one of them accidentally saw two words and had to be hospitalized. |

Lawrence Curls, aka Moe the Clown, from the second Ace Attorney game. He lampshades this in a conversation with Phoenix, claiming that it is a clown's duty to laugh at his own jokes, no matter how bad they are. In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice, Dhurke Sahdmadhi tends to laugh at his own dad jokes. His laughing animation is just icing on the cake. |

The Muppets: Fozzie Bear does this while doing his stand-up act. As he's not a very good comedian, he's often the only one laughing. Statler and Waldorf have their signature "Dohohoho!" laugh whenever they make an insult towards a performance. The cast of the "Veterinarian's Hospital" sketches will typically laugh at all the jokes they make. Joe the Legal Weasel is even worse at telling jokes than Fozzie, but his attempts at humor are always followed by a loud, bellowing laugh. |
