Quote:I'm not criticizing you, but I think one of things they try to do is remove themselves from the situation and look at it from a purely comedic standpoint. For example, with the Conaway stuff, they remove themselves from what he's going through and think, "if a guy was crying like this, that would be funny." Or the grape lady, I would say that they just think the sounds she made were funny.
Understood (and well explained, btw)....I guess I just can't remove myself from situations, because I've been in Grape Lady-esque pain, and I don't want to think about people laughing at it.
Like I said - people falling and not getting injured? One of the funniest f'ing things I've ever seen. Even minor injuries can be pretty funny. But broken bones and punctured lungs just don't do it for me.
