(That was just a silly joke, don't get upset )

Anyone speak french? I'd love to know what they were saying ;P

I laugh at a lot of things, but this was just meh...

The only part I found funny was the boxing ball bit and the elevator bit. The rest were just mean.

I love humour, I even sometimes participate in it myself - but this is just cruel.
(Monty Python FTW - and it's futile to discuss my/our sense of humor after I've said THAT. Yes it is!! No you can't!!!

I think everything that needed to be said has been said. Could the moderators please lock this down

now, a question - and i mean in sincerely because i’m curious….for those of you that don’t like this - what kind of comedy do you like?"

Jodie...I really didn't want to respond because I hate the unimportance of online arguing but come on, you can't be serious. There's a difference between seeing the humor and realizing the cruelty. You said you've fallen in public and laughed: so have I. But would you have laughed if the reason you fell was because some guy tripped you?

Also, I'd like to throw in my hat with the likes of avital and blessedblogger: Sure, I can laugh at myself (or anyone else for that matter) accidentally falling, but when someone does it to someone else on purpose it's just plain mean.

And since you asked: yes Monty Python, but also Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The failblog, Engrish.com, Dave Barry, XKCD, The Chaser's War On Everything (although they occasionally cross the same line as Gaillard did here), Whose Line Is It Anyway, A Prairie Home Companion, Car Talk, Off the Mark, The Onion... I think you get the point: I see humor in a lot of things. Just not meanness.

Not funny.

Are you listening to the same music that the rest of us are?

On the planet that the rest of us live on that type of music is called ska.

What do they call it on your planet?

And don't worry, I'm also not easily offended.

I think ak and blessedblogger pretty much said it all, but for your final question-
I enjoy monty python, cartoons (American dad, Clone High, Code Monkeys), The Simpsons (they deserve their own category), The Office, stuff like that.

That said, i agree with BlessedBlogger. And it's not a question of people "surviving" those pranks. If you repeatedly spit on someone's face in the subway for no reason, the person will survive, but you'd still be an ass.

It's not a question of having a good sense of humor either. I mean, the guy takes a tray, jumps and throws food on the floor. Ok, well, rudeness aside, it's still not funny at all, it's just a guy jumping with a tray in his hands.

If you guys think that having a good sense of humor is being able to laugh at everything, you really need to reconsiderate the concept of humor.

Oh yes, and the sentence "he would seriously get his ass kicked if he tried ANY of this in the states." is ridiculous.

blessedblogger, i suppose i can see why you might think that people who find this funny might have a character flaw. i mean, if you truly believe that there is true suffering and cruelty depicted (and i believe that you do) - then it would be natural for you to think that those who laugh at it are, at best, not very nice. the thing is, not all of us see it like that. i've had nearly all of those things happen to me at one time or another - either on purpose or on accident and i survived them all no worse for the wear. you may not want to judge us with such a broad stroke. i don't want to get into what kind of person i am - i just want to point out that, just because someone's opinion of what is funny is different doesn't mean they lack character. they just may see things differently. nothing more.

having said that, i will take back what i said about lightening up - only b/c i seem to have offended avital with that and that wasn't my intent. but then again, avital, you put a swear word in your post. as a matter of fact, it looks like the only people (up 'til now) who put swear words in their responses were the ones that didn't like it. odd. oh, before you assume that i don't swear...i do, like sailor. just not in online forums where kids and others who don't want to read such things might see it. i guess i'm just childish that way...

but i truly do feel sorry for people who don't see the humor. i see it everywhere. but you can't argue about whose sense of humor is better because everyone is different.

now, a question - and i mean in sincerely because i'm curious....for those of you that don't like this - what kind of comedy do you like?
