Hearing our favorite comedians deprecate all over themselves is just the best. That sounded disgusting, but if you circle back, you’ll see the slight difference in what you may have thought was a much messier word. Anyways… We all know and love the self-deprecating funny folks who can pick themselves apart to a level just under sadness and pity. Because going too far can be a little unnerving for the rest of us. It seems a lot harder for some people, and they may not even realize that it’s a clear indicator of severe self-importance. Like, come on buddy, you’ve self defecated once or twice like the rest of us.
We’re human. We’re flawed, but laughing is fun, so get in on the action you pretentious prissies. Not that these folks are royal dignitaries or anything.
