fake laughing....do you do it?

[AcknowledgeDaRep]

If someone makes a joke, do you feel the obligation to throw in a fake chuckle? I often do, but it feels fake and approval seeking. Particularly if a girl makes a joke with you, do you fake laugh if it's not funny? Quite often I'll just smirk, but sometimes the girl wants that "fake laugh" and feels uncomfortable if you don't give it to her.

What do you guys think?

As c&f, yes.

"Any more veeeery, veeeery funny joke?"

 

[CrizzleGA]

if they are telling a joke it is either funny/stupid/complicated... if its funny ill laugh, if its stupid I look at the person who told it like wtf... and if its to complicated that I cant understand it, it is more than likely a stupid joke... I am not a dumbass

 

[bullmoose]

Only if the joke is coming from [o O].

 

[lordson]

yeah i do it, but i try to make it sound as real as possible

can always tell though, by how thier face goes straight back into netural after 2 seconds

Some people hate fake laughing. It seems sort of rude if you show absolutely NO HUMOR to a joke. I like to add to the topic, just so there won't be that odd silence.
random example

She: "Doesn't that guy with the mohawk look like a rooster? Hahaha!" (Obviously not funny)
Me: That's a very mean thing to say about roosters. (She starts cracking up)

Notice in the example you're not laughing at the joke but you're still being fun. And you don't have to be an ass and say "Not funny!"

Fake chuckle? hell no its a perfect opportunity to bust on her about her unfunnyness.

"That was sh!t, no more jokes for you tonight"

It's cute watching them get all shy and uncomfortable afterwards.

fake chuckles have to go. i realized i had a habit of doing this and it makes you look dorky when you give courtesy chuckles. all you have to do is give a sly grin and that'll suffice. look at all the alpha male/cool characters in the movies. they never give courtesy chuckles.

Oh damn, why did you have to say this? Watch the next "article" on the SS homepage be . . . "Does John Wayne give courtesy chuckles?"
