courtesy laugh


when someone tells a really long story that really has no point to it at all and at the end you make a little chuckle, giggle, or laugh out of courtesy.
friends mom: -insert long pointless story here-
you: -chuckle-
friend: that was such a couresy laugh
when someone tells an absolutely terrible joke, and no one laughs, you give them a courtesy laugh. this should not be mocking and done very tastefully.
jim- “…and so the atom says, ‘i lost an electron!’ and the bartender says, ‘are you sure?’ and the atom goes,’i’m postive!'”

jake (thinking)- holy f-ck that was a horrible joke, he needs a courtesy laugh

jake- ha ha ha
-silence-
