Every comedian works differently. Some comedians might do just observational stuff and they don't do anything personal, and other people.. everything they do is personal and they don't do any observational stuff at all. There's no right or wrong, it's just that everybody picks their own approach.
I'm such a product of my media diet... it's interesting that you say what I do is observational. It's observational as far as it goes - to the extent that I observe media closely. Kriota might have a better sense of this. I don't always have the best sense of how human nature works, but I certainly know how to dismantle representations of characters.
A lot of times, I'm singing things that are observational and am definitely including myself.

I definitely am more observational of the people around me and how they interact and less introspective about myself.
I am incredibly self-deprecating. It stems from self-doubt.
Before you can be all deprecating it's helpful to be self-deprecating.
I'm a Larry David fan, right? And it seems to me that Jewish history from the Talmud on has been a self-deprecating, self-critical kind of humor.
self-sacrifice is one of a woman's seven deadly sins (along with self-abuse, self-loathing, self-deception, self-pity, self-serving, and self-immolation).
I think women have a hard time not apologizing their way into negotiations. We tend to back in to these conversations in a self-deprecating and ultimately self-defeating way.
I'm a sarcastic, observational storyteller.
I don't think there's really observational magic.
The power of self goes beyond words. Self confidence, self improvement, self esteem, self enhancement, self love ... Get yourself right first!
My style of comedy is probably absurdist, observational, and Olympian.
I like to describe my stuff as observational comedy.
I have a high self-opinion - I don't need to hide that. I don't need to be self-deprecating.
