I woudl say it depends. If you are generally funny and/or your laugh is contagious, then I say it's ok. Otherwise, it sort of comes off as egotisical. My friends tell me that I'm funny yet I don't laugh at my own jokes. I keep a serious face and I think that makes it funnnier.

Anyways, what say you, OT?

If you make a funny joke and someone else laughs fairly hard, then I see no reason why you too should not enjoy the humour you have just created.

Only when other people are laughing with you. If not, then no. :P

A lot of people see me as really serious so when I pop a good joke and keep a straight face it's even better. It's ok to laugh at your jokes, I think, as long as you don't laugh before others do. Then you look like an ass.

If it were not okay, then I'd be a terrible person. If I say something, and it's actually funny, why not laugh?

I always laugh at my own jokes. I wouldn't be telling them if I didn't think they were funny.

I laugh at my own jokes because I think I'm funny. I don't "HAHAHAHAHAHA" laugh, but I do chuckle because I like my sense of humour. You don't have to laugh too, but it's nice when you do. =)

It depends on the type of joke. And also if you are the only one laughing or not.

Well, I laugh at everything (that includes my own jokes). Either it's annoying or cute, take your pick.

I usually always laugh when I tell my jokes because I think they're funny in my mind and usually laugh at them before I tell them, however people usually almost always laugh so it's not really awkward; I tell a joke because I find it funny and I'm sharing it with others. I don't see why you shouldn't be able to laugh at a funny joke just because you told it.
