What's wrong with commenting on your own post?

Nothing, but laughing at your own jokes is a bit... odd.

If I comment on my own post, it's because I have an opinion about it that I want separated from the post to have a separate thread of discussion. This isn't that.

It's not their own joke, though. Microsoft is making the joke. Expressing that you find it laughable rather than taking it serious, that is an expression of an opinion.

It is an opinion, but it doesn't drive additional discussion so it should just be put into the post body.

I would only top comment on a post I made if I'm asking a question and want to provide my own answer for discussion's sake.
