What is the difference between self-deprecating humor and casually comic humor?

While related, they aren't the same. Self-deprecating humor focuses on poking fun at one's own flaws or shortcomings. Casually comic humor is broader, encompassing observations about everyday life, human behavior, and the absurdities of the world around us. Self-deprecation is a *type* of casual humor but isn't the only component. Casually comic writing can include self-deprecation, but it can also rely on wit, irony, and observational humor without necessarily being self-deprecating.
