It is frightening and disturbing to me that people are so flippant and nonchalant about this sort of thing. I guess it becomes normal when you engage in it all the time... and honestly, it's an even bigger problem that children's comedy films contain such content in the first place. I guess you have to teach them proper schadenfreude while they're still young... I'm glad I didn't receive that particular bit of education...

good for you, enjoy living that way (not being sarcastic). If I took every trivial matter as seriously as you did it would probably make me unhappy and not be good for my health(mental and physical).

Sorry, I'm just a serious person. Always have been, always will be.

(Also, my mental and physical health are both superb, thank you.)

 

[Lazarus Short]

Not funny at all. I'm so past all that.

People are too desensitized to violence.

Perhaps laughter (amusement) is a release from tension?

Bingo.

I actually wrote a paper about this in college. I'll see if I can dig it up.

I'm pretty sure that's at least part of it.

That and its a way of saying "better you than me". Its like farts. The cavemen were laughing at them, and people still do today. Some with suffering. Its to an extent of course, if its too bad its not funny anymore and its quite serious, also much like farts.

I agree, serious farts are a serious issue.

When we laugh or smile, it goes back to our primal nature. We allow others to see our teeth. In the case of others being hurt, we offer our canines for viewing, as a deterent. Don't do that to me.

WHAHHAHAHA, I watched that about 50 times, that is so funny. The sound she makes when she pukes is great. And then, 10 sec later: wooohhh!

I think that most people are missing the point here. The problem remains that comedic perception (like sound, and many other things) is arguably one of the most subjective matters in existence: one person's funny is another person's evil, and there exists no way to prove the validity of one point of view over the other. Thus, the original question and the ensuing debate of this thread are virtually pointless, as with nothing save opinion to back up an argument, everyone can be considered undoubtedly correct with their statements on this subject.

x2. I thought this was funny, as I do when I hurt myself. Want to fight about it?

The timing is beyond hillarious. The cay calling in had just answered "jerk".
