    >self-deprecation
    HUMOR, self deprecation humor is attractive, but it's only attractive if you and the other person know you're fricking around, as in you're not an actual fricking loser coping.

        In the right circumstances it’s an easy way to seem humble and humorous while inviting the other person to offer their perspective. It works as long as it’s clear it’s a joke or you’re not taking the comment too seriously.

        Self-deprecation is the basis of israeli humor, so it's no surprise you find it uncomfortable if you're specifically of Germanic descent since you're accustomed to people of your background being more direct, truthful and honest and not deceitful and conniving like israelites typically are.

        It's the easiest way to make the person you're talking to feel better about themselves, thus associating those positive feelings with you and coming to like you.

        It's a fallacy, showing you're confident and secure in your own flaws enough to joke about them shows others that you don't give a shit and they find it attractive.

            I just be myself and it works. Most of the time it doesn't. Sometimes it does. Everyone gets rejected, stop worrying about it so much. Goddamn homosexuals, man.

    The humor angle here comes more from contrast. Being in a rock band should be a form of social clout that goes to your head with undue confidence. Scott betrays the audience’s expectation by being self deprecating and also appeals to anyone who’s ever been in a band and can identify with how pathetic and embarrassing being an artist and having to promote yourself can be

    Self deprecating humour should be a way to say something offensive but directing it to yourself to lessen the amount people can get triggered. Self deprecating humour that just jokes at how shitty and incapable you actually are is cringe as frick, and will send women running in the opposite direction.

    Self-deprecation is just cope buttholes with massive yet fragile egos use to protect them. "If I make fun of myself first, others can't mock me." It's also a light form of manipulation: the intention is to get you to say "oh no you don't suck."
    The best way to deal with this shit is just agree with them. "Yes, your band probably does suck. I'm not wasting my time with that shit."

      bragging is equally transparent of course. "oh you're saying you're awesome so I'm meant to not challenge that? frick off".

    Because being arrogant about yourself is a huge turn-off for most people. I actually think it's kinda hot for women to be like that, but that's probably because it's such a rarity. Most women are incredibly self-deprecating and deeply insecure. Men are the opposite. We're often very much up our own ass. To see a subversion of what you normally see is attractive.

                That's got nothing to do with being quietly confident in yourself. People who feel the need to broadcast to the world how brilliant they are come across as the most insecure people around.

    Unironically, it's Hollywood brainwashing. Even people who write these kinds of shows have been brainwashed by shows that they watched when they were young. Young men should know it is unacceptable for them to make self-deprecating jokes, and if anyone else makes those jokes in their viscinity they should be stopped. He should, however, be able to laugh at himself once in a while. Don't take yourself too seriously.

        Wrong. Insecure people also self-deprecate. See

        Self-deprecation is just cope buttholes with massive yet fragile egos use to protect them. "If I make fun of myself first, others can't mock me." It's also a light form of manipulation: the intention is to get you to say "oh no you don't suck."
        The best way to deal with this shit is just agree with them. "Yes, your band probably does suck. I'm not wasting my time with that shit."

          Maybe we're not getting through to each other. We're talking about self-deprecation with HUMOR. You are doing it for the purpose of joking and making another person laugh with bluntness about oneself. I am not talking about self-loathing. No one likes someone who won't shut the frick up about how ugly, stupid they are or whatever. That is unattractive and is repellent for everyone, not just people you want to frick. Family, friends, etcetera.

          And obviously, self-deprecating humor doesn't work if it's coming from a NEET who hasn't progressed in life in any meaningful way. It's also pathetic in that instance.

            Self-deprecation with humor is a cope insecure people use.
            Example: a fat person insecure about being fat will make jokes about being fat "so that other people can't make them first." It's an attempt to prevent others from going "frick you're a real fatass" by trying to trick them into thinking it doesn't matter to them, but if it didn't matter, they wouldn't talk about it at all, it wouldn't even be on their mind. It's done to protect their fragile feelings. It's cope.

              Everyone has something about themselves that they wish was different. Maybe it's their nose, their fat rolls or their penis size. So what if it's a cope? Is it wrong to cope with certain things? Especially if say, it's something like a deformity, which you couldn't control? Like, I don't see the massive problem you seem to have with it. Probably because you're a sperg who doesn't interact with real people outside of Cinemaphile.

                Everyone has flaws, sure.
                The issue is when you allow these flaws to make you so insecure that you have to develop these massive coping mechanisms where you self-deprecate and use humor in an attempt to shield your fragile ego. The problem is that the average person isn't going to be fooled by this cope. It might work on you because you lack social skills (hence this conversation we're having where I explain basic human interaction to you) but when a fat guy starts cracking jokes at how fat he is, most people are smart enough to realize "oh, this guy has a problem with his weight, he's insecure about it and has ego issues." Unlike you, most people aren't so autistic that they can't pick up on obvious social cues.

                You're incredibly insecure.

                It's an innate cope. You fear being laughed at, so you laugh at yourself to protect yourself from the laughter of others. It's very insecure of you.
                It's also incredibly egotistical that you think other people would even give a frick if you tripped when reality is most people probably wouldn't even notice.

                Your question is irrelevant because you aren't laughing because you think it's funny. You're laughing because you feel embarrassed.

                I'm feeling out your confidence. What is something about yourself that you find amusing? It's a simple question.

              Insecure people use it as a cope, well adjusted people use it as a good way to make conversation. If you can’t see the difference you’re an autistic moron.

        False. I will use the example of stavvy baby. This disgusting fat frick loves talking about being fat, eating food and his "little ass dick." But throws a fit when his friends tell him hes a fat guy that will die soon if he doesnt change

    I tried that. It reallt opened my eyes as to how unattractive undermining yourself is. Especially because she pissed off at that moment.

    My band is really not that good in amy case.

    I love how everyone in this thread is psychoanalyzing each other on basic personality traits that mean dick.

    You're not insecure if you're self-deprecating and you're not insecure if you're not self-deprecating. People aren't fricking one size fits all caricatures. Different people act differently.

    There are plenty of people who are self deprecating that are insecure and plenty people who aren't. Same goes for people that exude confidence.

      I'm pretty sure everyone's insecure. Just about different things. With any person if you push the right button, you'll get a reaction that is drenched in insecurity.

    A genuinly think movies like this are a lot to blame for the current masculinity crisis.
    It thought young boys that being shy, nerd and a loser is actually very cool and you can get "the girl", which is the opposite in reality.

      The whole "Ramona Flowers ruined a generation of women" is a joke.

      Not enough people even watched this movie, or has it even existed long enough in our cultural zeitgeist, for it to have a significant effect.

      What really ruined masculinity can be traced back to the sexual revolution of the sixties and the dissolution of the atomic family.

      Also, the whole, "men's testosterone on average has gone down" is a myth

        Original (movie) ending was better. Ramona is toxic as hell. Scott is awful too.

        Some women just like having pink hair and being quirky, this is fine.

        I know people who were fans of Scott Pilgrim and they were all men in their 20s and 30s who never grew up and were still playing NES games and watching cartoons. It's total wish fulfillment for those homosexuals where they pretend to be Scott Pilgrim and act like any woman would ever be interested in them. The fact that Scott Pilgrim is a narcissistic c**t is unintentional and just a byproduct of the author being one and the character being a self-insert.
        The same gays went and saw Ready Player One.

    The amount of people claiming self-deprecation as humor is a israeli ploy in this thread made me realize just how many incel chuds are on this site, Jesus Christ. Y’all are pathetic, autistic losers.

      The sad part is they do it to themselves.
