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.

As long as they're not obnoxiously loud and saying something that's actually funny, I think it's completely normal. People usually say funny things that they find funny so it would be natural for them to laugh a little.
