why is watching a man getting racked funny...

[unclej]

ok, i'll admit it...i'm watching america's funniest videos and some clown hit himself right in the nads with his own skateboard and i'm laughing my ass off...another guy does it on a mountain bike and i'm laughing my ass off..they do it with golf ball, baseball bats and trampolines and i laugh my ass off...i got hit so hard with a baseball when i was in my twenties that i passed out so i know it hurts like 14 little mofos...so why do we think it's funny to see it happen to someone else..

pain looks good on others... it's what they're there for.

 

[unclej]

Same reason I almost cry from laughter when I see someone take a header or fall on ice.

It's not pleasant. But man. It looks funny.

It's not pleasant. But man. It looks funny.

especially with funny sound effects added to make it seem all the less cruel and painful!

Like at the end of the Faculty, I think it was. horrible movie. But one of the girls takes a spectacular header. I almost peed my pants the first 10 times through it.

I'd rather see someone take one on the noggin than in the nutz... head trauma is just damn funny.

 

[AzureAngel]

Head trauma -is- plain funny.

A friend of mine loves nothing more than to see limp bodies falling.

Cause it's happened to most of us, and we can relate.

Would this be comprable to me laughing at the viewing of a mammogram action shot?
