<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Self-deprecation is the act of reprimanding oneself by belittling, undervaluing, or disparaging oneself,[1] or being excessively modest.[2][3] It can be used in humor and tension release.[4]
Self-deprecation is often perceived as being a characteristic of certain nations, such as Great Britain, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, where "blowing one's own trumpet" is frowned upon.[5] Famous examples include English comedian David Mitchell.[according to whom?] It is also seen as a major component of the comedy of American comedians such as Rodney Dangerfield, Phyllis Diller, Joan Rivers,[6] Louis C.K., Don Knotts,[7] Woody Allen,[8] Zach Galifianakis, Mike Birbiglia, Carrot Top, Jon Stewart, David Letterman, Conan O'Brien, Bernie Mac and Amy Schumer.
