“Just Kidding!”

Taking a jab at someone you know in the name of humor can be fulfilling. But what if they’re in your presence and disapprove of it for any reason?

Hit them with this line or the variant “it’s just a joke” to remind them that your brand of humor is superior and deserves equal attention to your fragile ego.

This can also apply to jokes unrelated to them, even pop culture ones that have run their course, but you think it’s fine to share among people that you think won’t or shouldn’t call you out on it.
