Making fun of oneself for entertainment. It's usually done by people who are depressed, but you shouldn't just assume.
Self-Deprecation is such a common form of humor, even Urban Dictionary itself does it.
Humor where you put yourself down.
Sometimes funny, but sometimes overused fishing for compliments or a signal of low self-esteem.
