So many of the VSCO girl videos online have one thing in common: They're trying on the look as part of an experiment or a joke — "Becoming the Ultimate VSCO Girl" or "Transforming Myself Into a VSCO Girl" are common titles — and they're overloaded with self-deprecating humor.

In his position at the Times , Douthat is an essentially, if covertly, evangelistic writer, and he is most convincing when his tone is irenic, funny, and self-deprecating, and when he is willing to trade small, stubborn differences for broader agreements—when, in other words, he most closely resembles Francis.
|

Which should come as no surprise given that this is the woman who not only brought us the pitch perfect boy band parody, "Girl You Don't Need Makeup," but also skewered women's self-deprecating relationship with compliments, and flawlessly took on the bane of every woman's existence–trying to find absolutely anything that fits while shopping.

|
|
I had turned away from Z. to dance with N., who wasn't a good dancer at all, he didn't even try to dance well: he made all his movements ironic, self-deprecating, an extension of the persona he had taken on in class, which was endearing but also a product of uncertainty or doubt, a kind of abnegation.
|
|
Elsewhere, Mr. Babcock sings with an uproarious, self-deprecating sense of humor: Take the album opener, "If This Tour Doesn't Kill You, I Will," which is as close to a mash note as a song with the lyric "every line, every goddamn syllable that you say/makes me wanna gouge out my eyes with a power drill" can be.
|
|
The very lightly produced, home video-esque ad seems to be created by, and aimed at, Amazon's European market; that was also the case with another empowering video the e-tailer created last year to highlight that limiting, self-deprecating phrase, "I wish I could wear…" But the message obviously translates across the pond (and, well, anywhere).

With the possible exception of his jokes about fatherhood, which are sharp, unsentimental and more economical than the rest of his digressive 70 minutes, Cross's labored new special picks easy targets: Grateful Dead cover bands, hippies, Southerners with thick accents, and Twitter memes (although he does have a good self-deprecating joke about his own failures at tweeting).

Animated by a self-deprecating sense of humor and set down in limber, pointillist prose, Dr. Sacks's autobiographical accounts are as candid and searching as his writings about his patients, and they suggest just how rooted his compassion and intuitive understanding — as a doctor and a writer — were in his youthful feelings of fear and dislocation.
|
|
The three spots — two of which will air during the red carpet pre-show and a third during the actual awards — are a follow-up to a self-deprecating campaign the company ran last summer, in which a GE programmer struggled to explain to his friends and family why his new job was a good thing.
|
|
" In the rest of his act, he brings up disappointing romances and the deaths of loved ones almost offhandedly, adding to the mood of his self-deprecating jokes — like one about his sexual moves, which number two: "I have the one where I do all of the work, and the one where I don't do any of it.
|

" Most of the songs have the same winking, self-deprecating tone as much of their jaunty, rock-tinged catalog: "Rudolph Was Blue" is a lonely postscript on the classic holiday favorite, for example, and "Here It Is Christmastime" is a tribute to having someone to enjoy the holidays with, and also to help "do the dishes.

On television, being Jewish has often been used as a self-deprecating punchline — see Larry David buying fraudulent High Holiday tickets off a scalper and being accused of being a self-hating Jew for listening to Wagner on Curb Your Enthusiasm — or it's downplayed altogether (think of Jerry Seinfeld's fascination with dating "shiksas" on Seinfeld or Ross's neutered, nebbish character on Friends).

In addition to bemused, self-deprecating, and often unabashedly saccharine narrations of family life, Gopnik's job at The New Yorker seemed to involve running around the city doing things that normal people imagine rich New Yorkers doing, like going to an artist's study on Friday afternoons for a "year or so" to draw nude models, or spending six years in psychoanalysis.
|
|
She says she bought books on Amazon to help her work out some finer points of her medium—a self-deprecating comment from someone who studied painting with the likes of Amy Sillman and Nicole Eisenman at Bard College—but the slightly naïve approach, awkward spatial relations, jarring color juxtapositions create an effect that is, ultimately, vulnerable, open-hearted, and immediate.
|
|
What made the show a delight week after week was the brothers' self-deprecating humor, ridiculous reproductions of car sounds, puns, raucous laughter, and genuine advice on what to do when faced with car trouble, ranging from the mundane, such as diagnosing a bad wheel bearing to helping a caller figure out if she could anonymously pay a bridge toll after running a gate.
|
|
Football and literary references sit side-by-side in their lyrics, which are both sincerely poetic and self-deprecating; the "twee" label they were slapped with (for, presumably, featuring female vocals, a glockenspiel, and none of the tragic, thrusting machismo that indie lad-rock brought to the table) helped map them initially but undercut the experimental and often somber pop of everything that followed their first album.

The former journalist and ex mayor of London has made a political success story of clowning around in public and cracking often self-deprecating jokes that encourage a perception of joviality and good humor, while simultaneously pressing his personal ambition behind the scenes and ruthlessly gunning for the highest office in the land — which was his motivation for switching to back Brexit in the first place.

|
|
Though there's an argument to be made about French and Saunders being self-deprecating here—picking up on their own "uncoolness"—there's something about Jennifer Saunders' "street" get-up, her insistence on saying the word "bitch" over and over at the end and their inflection when rapping along, that feels as though not only they are the butt of the joke, but grime is itself.
|
|
By stripping the husk from self-image this way, what Schor reveals is its mysteriously contradictory truth: the anger, frustration, and insecurity that underlie an extravagantly self-deprecating joke like a skeleton with breasts, but also the absurdity that underlies them; the bitter pinch of decay underlying creation, and vice versa; and, especially, the unresolvable tussle between roles that are socially imposed and those that emerge from within.

The acting doesn't stop there, though, as he's also recently dabbled in a spot of self-deprecating humour while playing himself with the lads from People Just Do Nothing's Kurupt FM, for Comic Relief: But it's important to remember that this is not the only acting Ed has done: he recently went along with James Blunt's story about Princess Beatrice cutting him on the face, which turned out to be false.
