I have found myself making couple of jokes in interviews, is it good or bad?

I mean i think one interviewer said "you have sense of humor, that's good," but i don't know about others. should i try not to do that. Do you guys do that.

please respond
thank you

It totally depends on the interviewer. For some it could be good and for some bad. You have to be able to judge whether the interviewer is somebody who appreciates a joke. And if you cannot judge that then better don't risk it.
 
I wouldnt start rattleing off knock-knock jokes or anything, but if your approach to life is light-hearted and fun I wouldnt try to mask that too much. They probably like to see people with personality, and it shows that you are comfortable with them.
 
as others have said, as long as they go with the overall flow of the conversation, jokes/funny comments are fine.
 
One day a young man and woman were in their bedroom making love. All of a sudden a bumble bee entered the bedroom window. As the young lady parted her legs the bee entered her vagina. The woman started screaming, "Oh my god, help me, there's a bee in my vagina!".

The husband immediately took her to the local doctor and explained the situation. The doctor thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, tricky situation. But I have a solution to the problem if young sir would permit".

The husband being very concerned agreed that the doctor could use whatever method to get the bee out of his wife's vagina. The doctor said "OK, what I'm gonna do is rub some honey over the top of my penis and insert it into your wife's vagina. When I feel the bee getting closer to the tip of my dick I shall withdraw it and the bee should hopefully follow my penis out of your wife's vagina."

The husband nodded and gave his approval. The young lady said "Yes,yes, whatever, just get on with it."

So the doctor, after covering the tip of his penis with honey,inserted it into the young lady's vagina. After a few gentle strokes,the doctor said, "I don't think the bee has noticed the honey yet. Perhaps I should go a bit deeper".

So the doctor went deeper and deeper. After a while the doctor began shafting the young lady very hard indeed. The young lady began to quiver with excitement, she began to moan and groan aloud, "Oh doctor, doctor!" she shouted. The doctor, concentrating very hard, looked like he was enjoying himself.

He then put his hands on the young lady's breasts and started making loud noises.

The husband, at this point, suddenly became very annoyed and shouted. "Now wait a minute, what the hell do you think you're doing?!" he blasted.

The doctor, still concentrating, replied: "Change of plan, I'm gonna drown the bastard!!"
 
When asked what sort of physician I want to be, I really want to reply in a deadpan voice, "Well Bob, you don't mind if I call you Bob do you? I'm gonna be a boob man". Insert appropriate hand gestures when I say "boob man". 😀

Just to see what happens!
 
Me: Knock-knock
Interviewer: Huh? Wtf? ...Who's there?
Me: Sike.

Oh, I bet that would happen to me! I laugh when I feel nervous or uncomfortable.
 
I don't need to make jokes. I think my stats do the work for me! :laugh:
 
I always walk in trying to be myself, which means I make some jokes and laugh a lot. So far, all of my interviewers have responded positively. I figure that I should try to be as relaxed as possible, and if they like me, then maybe I am right for that school, if not then it's not meant to be.

It's much easier if it doesn't backfire of course 🙂
