SELF-DEFECATING HUMOR 

Not to be confused with self-deprecating humor, self-defecating humor is NOT funny. A joke that bombs like a dump of crap.
Example: A joke about your own foibles that stinks!

Sorry,Man, I hate to admit it, but I like PB&J with bacon even though it always gives me gas. (Your admitting that is self-defecating humor.)

Too much information, Dude!

self-deprecating humor 

Humor where you put yourself down.
Sometimes funny, but sometimes overused fishing for compliments or a signal of low self-esteem.

Self-deprecating humor 

A type of extremely stale humor, mostly used by youtubers to deviate criticism, desperately make a joke, make up for bad quality of videos and/or appear naive to an audience.
Youtuber: hey guys sorry for the low quality of videos for the past years and the constant manipulation of my subscribers, but hey i’m dumb and i have a small penis, so what did you expect LMAO

Audience: oh that doesn’t matter, we completely forgive you, you used self-deprecating humor and clearly see your faults!

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
