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.

If it takes them several attempts to tell me something and they're laughing all the way through it, I assume it's going to be bad or underwhelming.

I've personally heard some of the best ones were when someone keeps themselves steadied enough to tell what a funny story is or what a joke is but then break into laughter towards the end. Just enough to finish the bit.
