'I just cannot fake laugh anymore': Couple sparks debate on fake laughing at bad jokes vs just ignoring it to make or break the relationship

When you're in a relationship, you'll have many different arguments of all shapes and sizes. Some will be more meaningful than others, some can even be a break-it-or-make-it kind of argument. But either way, they are unavoidable. The best kinds of relationships find a healthy way of arguing with each other. If you're arguing by throwing lamps at each other and slamming doors, it's probably not a good sign. But if you're able to have a thorough discussion together and make progress, then you'll learn more and more about each other and it's beautiful. 

 One couple took to Reddit to try and end a debate going on between the two of them. The boyfriend refuses to fake laugh ever—instead, he just looks away and pretends he didn't even hear the unfunny joke. His girlfriend says that it would be nice to just call out the "jokester" and make it clear that it wasn't funny to you. However, some commenters think it's impolite to not even give a fake giggle. 

Honestly, I'm stumped. I definitely don't like to fake laugh, but I try to make my reason to why the joke is not funny a joke within itself so it's not awkward. What would you do?
