...LOL i do it all/most the time,when people tell jokes that are not funny i laugh at the joke anyway (maybe out of sympathy).
I've gone so good at it that (trust me) my fake luaghs some times egg them on to tell more jokes.im a bad person i know but there are some exclusions like my friends when they tell a bad joke i just don't laugh they do the same for me too and then there are the 'infamous' unfunny people,i just dont even try to fake it with them.

So is it normal to fake laugh ? How much is too much fake laughing?

My second question is in your area/country do you have a word to describe unfunny people ..here we call them DRY. New Zealand

    My dad tells terrible jokes. I laugh to humor him, as well as not hurt his feelings

    I don't usually fake laugh. At least not out loud. If a person tells an unfunny joke and I don't want to make him/her feel bad, I just chuckle (right word?) and smile.

    you should learn to use it at appropriate times.

    because there will come a time when you meet one annoying mother farker who thinks his jokes are always funny and tries to crack a joke 24/7.

    If you keep fake laughing at that person, he will just keep cracking trash jokes.

    SO i think it's important to do it at certain times, so when you don't laugh, they will get that the joke wasn't funny.

    I've mastered the art of fake laughing. You'll never know if I actually think you're funny. But I agree that it can be helpful. Otherwise, many people would come off cold and spiteful. Laughter, even fake, heals the soul.
