Tate: I have to cancel our plans this weekend!
Lana: Don't worry about it; I'm an expert when it comes to spending weekends alone.
Tate: You're so self deprecating sometimes, Lana.

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!

self-defecating

A term that stupid people use accidentally when they really mean "self-deprecating" and clever people use on purpose to make poop jokes that stupid people wont get.

The big-time CEO used self-defecating humor to try and relax the crowd. He wanted them to see that he was just a regular guy. Unfortunately, he succeeded only in relaxing his own bowels. No amount of good press will clear that stink.
