Self-deprecating cannot fall flat

A joke at your own expense has a floor: worst case it reads as honest. A clever joke that misses reads as trying. It is also the only kind that works on a photo where you look good.

Never add the laughing emoji

“😂😂😂” after the line tells the reader it was supposed to be funny, which is the fastest way to guarantee it is not. Say it flat and let it land.
