Self-Deprecating Humor = Endearment
Self-deprecation can be a funny way to prevent your hero, main character, or protagonist from getting too full of themselves. It helps them earn empathy and likability. No one likes someone who is more arrogant than intelligent. Don't be afraid to make fun of yourself. If you don't, someone else will.
Comedian, David Letterman was awarded the Kennedy Center 2017 Mark Twain Prize for American Humor for his renowned self-deprecating humor.
