Do you find sad things amusing?

[Tater Tot]

Do you find sad things amusing? Not stuff that happens in real life, but stuff you read in a book, or watch on Television, or anything. I do. It's one of my flaws. I was watching The News one evening, and this little girl had gotten shot, and they interviewed a woman about the girl, the woman was crying so hard she couldn't get any words out, and I started so laughing hard I was almost on the floor. I was watching Bye-Bye Butterfree, and when Butterfree left and they showed the slide show and Ash cried and everything, I laughed so hard I fell off the couch. So what about yourselves? Do you find sad things hysterically funny? Or do you find it saddening? Post here.

I'm not saying that people should, but generally, a lot of people find sad events funny. I normally crack up at fictional things that I see on the television or hear on the radio, like when I was watching The Dark Knight, I began laughing hysterically during the last scene. I don't really laugh at real life cases that are reported on the news, but every so often a story will pop up that is so unbelievably random, I just have to laugh.

 

[popsicles.]

Noes, I don't like sad things, because I become very sad myself then.
Blame my emotions - I always cry when there is a sad movie on TV, and when something bad happens on the news
(like that plane crash in Madrid & China) I always change the channel because I just can't see it. I can't stand mysery, pain or other sad, depressing feelings. :<

 

[Legobricks]

The people that over-react to sad things — like certain people that are still really touchy about the actions of Nazi Germany — are what's laughable to me.

Mainly though: funny ragdoll-induced death poses in video games.


My sense of humour is mostly aligned toward internet memes. I wouldn't call myself someone that seriously finds sad things funny at all.

 

[Deleted member 12729]

Yeah I laugh at everything on TV. Even when the Twin Towers fell down, that was funny as hell.

...wait.

 

[Luck]

Only if one of my friends get hurt.
come on, who wouldn't laugh if their friends hit the pavement after falling off their bike?
but if its something serious like a murder or something national, no, i would feel sorry for them.
and just a few seconds ago, i got rick rolled.
thats not funny, thats sad.

 

[Gymnotide]

You're not supposed to.
Though, droll humor always gets me.

Yeah I laugh at everything on TV. Even when the Twin Towers fell down, that was funny as hell.

...wait.

Oh, that seriously stung. I lived within a mile of that place when I was little :|

 

[Weatherman Kiyoshi]

only when I feel like being an ass.

when I don't, I don't really care about the sad moments in a book or TV show or something. But if something is really good,
like the book/TV show/Movie has a great story line, fantastic actors, etc.,
I might cry. that's just because the sensitive side of my personality cares too much.

I was watching The News one evening, and this little girl had gotten shot, and they interviewed a woman about the girl, the woman was crying so hard she couldn't get any words out, and I started so laughing hard I was almost on the floor.

....that....that's just sick dude.

No, I don't in the least. The emotion sadness doesn't not make a normal person laugh, quite the opposite actually.

 

[Roy G. Biv]

Only in bad movies when it's supposed to be all tense.
XD

But if it's real, if it really happened...
I'm sensitive, yoh

 

[fade101]

*raises hand*
Im a prettah eveel guy...
If there were like some kind of a stupid dramatic sad scene i'll be like laughyin my head off...
And i'll be like, dude!! Thats for being sooo stupid!!

But i can get emo some time toooh...

 

[Miyukii]

Um, yes and no. Sometimes in a book, I found it funny when this girl killed herself in the book but then again someone cried. (It was only a flaming book!) And sometimes no because, I don't really you know...

I share that trait with you. I don't take fictional things as seriously as others. When someone dies, or something is screaming for help, I normally crack up when I read it.

 

[Guillermo]

I know this may seem bad and all, but I don't really care. If it is on the news I may feel a glint of sadness but I never really take notice, it doesn't affect me in real life so why should I care? Most things don't spark sadness inside of me but a lot of things do. Like in real life this one time I was walking down an ally and all these "gangsters" were gang bashing an old man, he was in his....60's or 70's and I ran over to him and then they ran! He is in hospital now (True story!) and yeah, stuff like that I just have a massive sort of....rush to help someone in need!

 

[ErickaVolt]

Well yeah, sometimes. I find wars amusing and enjoying. But I don't laugh at it.

 

[The_G']

Me neither. When theirs an accident like terrorists and stuff , normally I would get the "I dont care" expression and not mind. Cases like murder with finding the suspect I get the "INTERESTING !!" expression.

 

[Manaphy1128]

It's mostly the fictional stuff I laugh at, like when someone just got their eye gouged out or something, but also real-life things, or past events I've had. Like I now laugh at myself when I remember when I got bit by a dog.

 

[Snivi]

No I don't find them amusing but I like to watch/read sad things.

 

[Kishijoten]

I don't find sad things amusing even when it is a happy ending the sad part is leaving the happy place away. So to answer this, No i don't find sad things amusing There is a saying though: One's pain another's pleasure it is just i dont get how people find sad things so amusing that's a step ahead for me.

 

[Alter Ego]

Umm...sad things are called that because they make you feel sad, which is the opposite of the mood in which you should be laughing. Unless your natural reactions are somehow messed up, which is not unheard of.

Anyway, no, I don't find sad things amusing, and I really can't ever bring myself to laugh at newscasts of actual people suffering. I'm even enough of a sap to actually find some anime/game/TV-show scenes touching if they're done with enough professionalism. When they're done badly, though...that's another matter. Watching seriously, SERIOUSLY god-awful drama shows like Emmerdale never fails to give me that mixed reaction of 'LOLOLOL/Aaargh! Someone please gouge my eyes out now! ><' because the acting is really, really JUST. THAT. BAD. In those cases, it's not really a sad thing as much as just plain farse, though. :\

So no, I don't really laugh at sad things.
