Jokes like this derive their humor by encouraging alienation from our bodies.
There is nothing wrong or unusual with being aware of our tongues.
There is nothing superior or powerful about others who make try to make us uncomfortable with ourselves.
This is nothing spooky, troubling or surprising about our breathing (as some similar posts elsewhere suggest "you are now breathing in manual mode. you just realized you have a skeleton.").
There is no reason to allow ourselves to experience any anxiety through becoming aware of our own bodies.
The only reason any of this "humor" works at all is because we are so thoroughly conditioned to have our minds focused outside of ourselves, on our work, on our needs and those society puts upon us that we rarely get to focus on ourselves and our bodies. And when we do, it's all too often because someone else is "rating" us or when we're trying to please others.
Let's all commit to dismissing false humor that suggests focusing attention on ourselves is anything but familiar, comfortable and impervious to psychological hijack by others.
