Sometimes it's funny that it's not funny at all.
You know, like it's comical that his joke was absolutely not funny, but he was trying so hard, poor thing
Also, sometimes it's just a nervous giggle. Not necessarily "Oh, that was so funny!" More like: "I have no idea what you said, I wasn't even listening, God.. you're so cute...*giggle*"
Now that makes sense. You may continue to laugh when things are not funny.
I do sometimes laugh at lameness, from either gender, not because it was funny, but because it was so lame i couldn't help but to giggle at the absurdity.0 -

That's true. My 4 year old tells the lamest jokes and when I tell her it's not funny she doesn't believe me because I always laugh at how not funny they are.

Well that's a little different, everything our children say is hilarious until they're 10.0 -
Politeness? Desire to get laid?
If you need to fake it to get laid you're doing something wrong.
Just fake it while your getting laid?? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :drinker:0 -

I still consider that doing something wrong.0 -
If a man's joke is not funny I just do Tim Allen's impression from Home Improvement "Hurrh!" . Then shake my head and say sweetie NO0

Personally, I never fake it
Guys LOVE when women don't fake it.

I laugh sometimes to make him feel more confident in himself but if he is always cracking jokes that are not funny, I stop so he will get the hint. For me it's an ice breaker sorta. I like to seem as friendly as possible.0

I know that nobody wants to accept this but maybe the joke was funny but you didn't get it?
Maybe it was funny but wasn't funny to you? I know I don't get those "yo mama" jokes but apparently alot of immature folks find them funny
And you also have to keep in mind that when some people are attracted to other, they like alot of things about them that they normally won't. That includes laughing at their lame jokes. They're not always faking it, they sometimes just find it funny coming from that specific person.
ETA: To be honest, the way you took this thing so seriously to make an entire post about it suggests to me that you probably don't get humor. Which is fine, not everybody is funny or is able to laugh at jokes0 -
there's a difference between funny and stupid and most of the time guys tell stupid jokes that leave me looking like this -.- or like this .__. they may call me a ***** or whatever but if something is not funny i wont laugh0
-
I only laugh when I think something is funny - or - when I'm nervous.0
-
I faked it with myself once0

If you don't find it funny, don't laugh. Like I said before some folks have different definition of what they find funny. I don't find Denis Miller or Carlos Mencia or Dane Cook funny but apparently others do else these folks would be out of business0 -
Why women fake it.. to boost his ego.. simple.. I don't though. My husband tells jokes all the time that I don't think are funny at all.. I still laugh because the expression on his face is hilarious!0

Is that why all the ladies laugh when I make a joke? What a relief! I was afraid I was actually funny or something. 0

Well, I laugh at everything.... So, I'm not faking it, I'm just easily humored. Haha. A good laugh is good exercise for those tummy muscles. Ever laughed so hard that your stomach hurts.... well, that's why. I encourage any type of laughter whether it be fake, real, forced, exaggerated . . . laughter is laughter, it will keep you living longer in the end.
Plus, laugh lines are more attractive then those frowny lines by the forehead. 0 -

Because I am trying to not be a stuck up *kitten* and drag everyone down with my anhedonia?
Srsly, reading your responses, I'm starting to agree with the earlier poster who suggested you aren't capable understanding some kinds of humor.
I like Carlos Mencia, can't stand Tosh 2.0 or Jim Gaffigan. Love SuperTroopers, couldn't understand the appeal of *kitten*. I don't go about questioning why people laugh at Tosh or *kitten* and claim that they are fake laughing.
That and I like stereotypical guy humor sometimes, and don't understand stereotypical girl humor.
PS: way to smear an entire gender spectrum with your rigid stereotyping. Because there has never been a guy who tells a girl how adorably hilarious her little girl-fart was while thinking "oh dear god that was horrible and I need a shower."0 -

Fakes it for you, just this once. 0 -

What if I genuinely laugh at farts? Would I be a faker then too? OH GOD THE PRESSURE!!
Not really sure what the OPs problem is. Faking laugh isn't any worst than her labeling everybody else without knowing if that person genuinely found it funny or not. Apparently she's better than everybody.
Maybe people need to stop dictating what or how other peoples should be living their lives eh? Live and let live?0 -

How am I generalizing? If you're guilty of it then I'm talking to you.
Why so uppity about a person's opinion on something people admit to doing, do you need a hug?0 -
Sometimes I will laugh and then tell them that wasn't funny at all, but I was laughing at the fact they thought it would be funny.0
-
I'm an equal opportunity offender - I laugh at both men and women's jokes alike, even when I don't find them funny or get them.
I have Asperger's, so I tend to not follow and don't want to come across as a humorless *****, so I've learned to laugh along with everyone else.0 -

I do but I find myself being overly touching and since you don't have any sense of humor, you might think I'm being rude and not laugh
The fact that you think somebody is "guilty" makes you a judgmental person. Not very funny. You're not a funny person and you just proved that the guy telling you the jokes are infact funny but you didn't get it. Which is fine because not everybody have a sense of humor0 -
Somtimes you gotta laugh at bad joke... gotta support your friends/husband etc... how are you just going to leave them hanging like that???
** given, most times it is a laugh turned to groan... but it has to be done sometimes.0 -
I also don't like being touched. People are gross and they smell funny.
Before you make an assumption, I'm not human, I'm a robot.0 -
Sometimes I laugh sarcastically, smile and give them a thumbs up or clap just to rub it in how lame their attempt at a joke was. I can be mean sometimes...0

I'm with cha! Fakers do the things that fakers do & they also make great liars!!!!
No need to fake; just be the real you! Like it, lump it or leave it!0
