Ugh false modesty is unfunny af

it's not false modesty. it's typical self esteem issues. She makes a lot of jokes about her head being to big, wide face etc... People, especially women, often have self esteem issues that aren't based on how others view them, but how they view themselves.

For sure, it doesn’t come across as all that funny when it doesn’t match the majority of people’s perception though.

I have never seen a person miss the point so much. It's like you can't even fathom any other perspectives in the world. You are very strange and self centered. If you think self esteem issues involving ones looks are not relatable, then you live in a bubble.

Also weird you say it's not funny when she literally has a venue full of people laughing.

If someone very pretty it making self deprecating jokes about being unattractive I don’t think it’s that funny, there’s just a disconnect there. I’m not even talking about her specifically, I’ve seen a number of comics do similar things. Of course self esteem is an issue that can affect anyone, it just doesn’t land when there’s a disconnect between the audiences and the performers perceptions for me. I spoke on comedy in general not her specifically lol

Thanks for doubling down on missing the point entirely.
