Talk to him about it if it's that much of a problem.

Otherwise, if he's your best friend, then who gives a shit? As long as he never does anything serious, like jacks your shit and sells it on ebay or nuts on your sheets or something...

I mean, just learn to brush off some of the stupid things people do and I think that's a good way to do it. Sometimes you have to pick your battles, and if he's a really good friend, don't be an ass because he makes terrible, corny jokes.

just dont laugh at them? youre not being a dick.
he does that stuff to get attention and cuz he thinks other people think hes funny, so if you just dont react to his jokes, he'll eventually stop.

even if he doesnt stop doing them, not laughing at unfunny jokes is better than laughing at them.

What about friends who play tons of broodwar with someone less skilled.Then said person who had been helping other goes away when he comes back that person is now a member of light and has no need to help the other get better at broodwar agian.Hes too busy getting roommates and owning people, to busy even to say hi. screw you utopia[sb] . love ya man.


Was that funny in a not funny way or something like your roomie?

I got pretty much the same problem. My ongoing solution is to just not laugh or smile unless he deserves it. I'm subtly letting him know his humor sucks by closing my eyes, frowning and shaking my head in front of him. I've also started to avoid eye contact.
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

I don't think your can really talk to him about it because no matter what you say he will think you are attacking him or something.

Just act like an adult, meaning you are busy and don't have time for foolishness. When he does stuff instead of laughing say "ok", "yea", "thanks", or just look at him.

btw have you noticed what happens to people who make stupid posts? they are either completely ignored or flamed.
Do you really want chat rooms?

The next time he stands on one leg and says you can use the bathroom. Kick that one leg out, and firmly land your knee into his spine when he hits the ground. Then say "BAD! NO! BAD!".
Repeat as needed he'll learn eventually.

Just don't laugh, eventually he will get the message and stop making these jokes. If he stares @ you just smile but don't look @ him.

this is 100% spot on.

Most guys like to feel confident or secure so they can be perceived that way by women.

Or you can just be honest about your feelings whenever it comes up.

I.E you're with your GF, she has been raped in the past, and he proceeds to say "sensitivity to abusive violence and sexual crudeness is for pussies" you have every right to tell him he is an ass, and acting like he doesn't care about people's opinions all the while constantly seeking their attention, 'is for pussies'.

Ahhhhhhhhh

"So then he feels all validated and confident and then I come home from school and he's sitting there with his girlfriend and I know it's going to be bad because now I have to sit there and take his crap up the ass, saying 'yes I like it' in front of her, in front of other people at other times."

Heh, FuDDx you have me confused with someone else. I never had the nickname utopia[sb], that's some other guy.
And thanks for comments all. Actually I think I am exaggerating the negativity of this that he's doing; I've been sort of out of it for a few months given some crappy social conditions in my own life (esp. that I lack girls, yeah ), and probably a bit angry because things are working for him. But it remains that he sometimes makes jokes that I should not laugh at, next time I'll just say "okay" like you suggested.

I agree with a lot of the others - tell him that his behaviour is making you uncomfortable. Even if he gets annoyed or upset keep your own tone and emotions calm so it doesn't descend into a fight. After all if it's worth saving a friendship that's lasted that long will be able to survive some basic honesty.
