How do you react if someone tells a bad joke? Do you laugh to be polite?
The most I'd do is smile. I can't laugh at something that isn't funny to me.
Depends on the person. If I'm not concerned about hurting their feelings I won't laugh, and usually that's easy with close friends.
I break down and try to survive the pain.
I don't remember ever being in that situation, not when it's just me and them so that they'd notice if I don't laugh. When with a group of people if someone tells a bad joke (and I find a lot of jokes that other people find funny lame), I don't laugh. I'm not sure what I would do if it were just me and them.
Nah, I will probably do the 'womp womp' sad trumbone sound
