Look In The Mirror, Jane!

What do you say to people who complain about  a certain behavior in others, but they exhibit that behavior themselves?
For example, your  friend Jane hates it when another person talks about herself, but Jane likes to talk about Jane all the time. Or, your friend Jane hates it when other people are loud in public, but Jane is loud in public.  Or, Jane hates it when others bring their children to adult social gatherings, but Jane brings her child to adult social gatherings.
You see where I am going with this.  Do you point this behavior out to Jane?  If you do point it out, do you use humor, or are you matter-of-fact?  Do you ignore it? 
Just wondering.
For the record, Jane is a random name for a fictional character, and I do not have a friend like her.  If I did have a friend like Jane, I would probably use humor.
Take care,
Sylvia
