YSK: You shouldn't try to downplay a compliment.
Why YSK: When you recieve a compliment like "You're funny, you should be a comedian!", responding with "Haha I wish" or "I'm not THAT funny" leads to the awkward situation where the person who gave you the compliment is forced to complement you further. At the point where you have acknowledged the compliment, they are no longer able to withdraw from it or move on with the interaction. Instead, you should thank them for the compliment and possibly provide one back. This also comes off as much more appreciative.
