How do you fix a joke if it goes too far?

Many people like to joke, because joking can make themselves and others happy, but if the joke goes too far, it is not a good thing and may be counterproductive. You should speak in a moderate manner, and the same goes for jokes. Only when enough is enough can the effect of joking and happiness be achieved.

It is difficult to control the degree of joking. If it goes too far, it will be self-defeating. So, how to recover when the joking goes too far?

1. Apologize sincerely

Why should people apologize? Isn’t it because they said the wrong thing and did the wrong thing? You should apologize in order to ask for forgiveness from others. Don't think that being humble will ruin your reputation. Who told you to joke too much? If you want to save it, you must do this.

I have a classmate who loves to joke. When I was in junior high school, he often made fun of me because my hair was very yellow. He liked to call me "Golden Retriever Lion King" in front of his classmates. Sometimes She also said that I was ugly and that I couldn't get married.

One day when I was in a bad mood, he still made fun of me as usual. I was unhappy and shouted back at him: "You are the only handsome guy. You have such a sharp mouth and don't hold back your words. From now on, you I can’t find a girlfriend either.”

He noticed that my expression was very ferocious, and realized that the joke had gone too far. He immediately apologized to me in person: "I'm sorry, Xiaoxing, I am a big bad guy, bastard, I know I was wrong, please forgive me. Me".

Seeing that he apologized so sincerely, I temporarily forgive him and let things go, but in my heart he is not as good as before.

If you can't muster the courage to apologize in person, you can also apologize in writing or send an apology via text message, but it's just not as effective as a face-to-face apology and is less sincere.

2. Use humor to resolve it

If you are a master of humor, when your joke goes too far, you can use roundabout tactics to solve this embarrassing situation. You will not Even if you are embarrassed, others can smile and resolve your worries.

Xiao Wu, a male classmate of mine in college, especially likes to joke, but he is also very humorous. When he feels that he has made a mistake, he can use one or two humorous words to turn the situation around and see that he is being joked about. The person laughed, and he said again: "Sorry, the joke went too far, haha."

At a KTV party of classmates, a female classmate was not good at singing, but she just liked singing. When she sang, everyone wanted to cover their ears, so Xiao Wu laughed at her: "This Girl, this sound can kill a thousand pigs, it is more terrifying than the sound of a pig being scalded." We all burst out laughing on the spot.

This Liu Liu continued to sing, and even twisted her buttocks, and her round buttocks leaked out of her underwear. Xiao Wu said again: "Sister, you have a body like yours that can sleep with dozens of men and give birth to ten." You can lose weight just by having a baby, your underwear is so sexy.”

Liu Liu was about to get angry and stopped singing. She stood in front of him and said, "Have you said enough? Do you know how to save people under the knife?" Xiao Wu did not dare to speak anymore and covered his head. mouth, said: "I am mute, shut up", picked up the microphone, which was worse than killing a pig, and sang "Liu Liu is the biggest, old minister deserves death", all the students sitting there laughed, and then Xiao Wu begged for mercy Di said to Liuliu, "I'm sorry, the joke went too far, haha."
