Do you know any people who think they are beyond hillarious and laugh constantly at their own jokes when no one else in the world thinks their even vaguely amusing... more just depressing.
Any examples of it?
i just thought of this whilst i laughed at one of my own jokes... on my own again.

It's ok, a lot of geniuses encountered ridicule from their "peers" during their lives. One hundred years from now they'll be studying my life.
doc 1: "what is that?"
doc 2: "i don't know. The boss says we are supposed to study it."
doc 1: "why?"
doc 2: "well, it's an apparent human, but it has a huge head."
Yeah, it's hell when you have a teacher like that and you're a captive audience. My anthropology professor said things that amused only him, and he'd give his wheezing gasping rasp of a laugh at his own jokes.

Jealousy is a normal reaction. Just try not to go mad with envy.

I am the funniest person I know. It isn't that I am not funny, it's that people can't appreciate how good I am.
I'm operating on a whole nother level.
I have to agree- the words "a whole nother" always make me chuckle... it's just so wrong that you either have to laugh or cry... I choose laughing.
Clearly this form of obligatory response shows a level of untapped genius...
Daily I do things that are funny to only me on purpose. It's how I survive. I don't really care if anyone else is entertained but if they are then I guess that's a good thing too.

wow... that was sad... i'm disappointed... considering that it is coming from the self confirming genius...
Yeah... the assistant manager (ass man) at my workplace can't fathom the idea that a) he is ever wrong, b) other people possess different views, or c) he isn't as funny as he constantly tries to be. The worst thing is, he's so aggressive, so non-stop joke bombarding, that other people laugh anyway just in case they're the one's missing out on the joke- and of course, no-one wants to appear boring.

This is half of why my work sucks.
That's kinda how my boss is. But that's the reason why my work rocks. I never have a better time than when he's trying to be funny. Ooooh, I can laugh about it for days afterwards.

I don't have a webcam, or I would show you pictures of my heart bleeding.
My best friend is obssessed with anal butt sex and he always has to have the last word.
He has to steer every goddam conversation into the brickwall that is his anal butt sex-based world of humor. And then he promptly exits the room. I hate that.

Maybe he should get a job as a writer for SNL. He sounds like he'd fit right in.
There are a few people at work that we call "conversation killers." They will try to jump into any conversation you are having, and usually ruin it with one sentence. Even when it is a topic they know nothing about, they will try to say something kind of related, but not quite, just to try to fit in.
That is just as depressing as the people who think they are funny.

I couldn't have said it any better than you did. That's totally how I feel.

Ditto * 2
I also include incredibly inside jokes that only 3 people alive would get.
Hey if it's funny to me, everyone else can go hump a volkswagen.
