Comedy Points Memo

I've noticed lately that after making a terrible joke, I add "I'm so funny!!!!!!!" (with a similar amount of exclamation points, capital letters, or other emphatic punctuation). I've decided this means that, since I know what I said was not funny, adding a crazed "I'm so funny!" makes my joke funny because the joke is the desperation in the "I'm so funny!" reaction as opposed to the actual, more terrible joke. Then everyone has to laugh because I am so funny in the knowledge that I'm not funny.

This would work perfectly if I didn't secretly think all my jokes are amazing.
