What made you laugh when someone was hurt?

Question

My husband was coming down the stairs and he slipped and caught his arm on the wooden hand rail. He slipped down about 7 stairs and I heard him falling and going bump, bump, bump on the steps. When he got to the bottom, he just layed in the floor and kept saying "ohhh, ohhh, ohhh". When I went to check on him, I could not stop laughing. I knew he wasn't hurt, but it was so funny to see him laying flat on his back moaning.

I need a really good laugh, so any story that's funny to you, please share.

Answer 1

It's the way they fall..... I always laugh, not intentionally but I just can't help it.

Answer 2

I hate to share this. The few times I've tried have been met with cold silence and a marked decrease in dinner invitations. At any rate, I'm hoping someone out there will forgive me. Here goes:

I was coming out of the subway. I know exactly which car to get on so that I can get up the stairs and through the ticket gate before the mad rush of people behind me.

Now, I'm a pretty fast walker and often take two steps at a time, so I did notice when someone actually managed to blow by me on the stairs, almost running. I was particularly surprised when I saw that he was a blind man with dark glasses and a white cane.

And I was impressed. In a flash I thought, "Good for him. This is a fellow who has more than overcome his disability; he's triumphed over it. Here he is, practically running through the station, having mapped his course and relying confidentally on his other four senses. Inspirational! He should lecture to teens."

By the time I got to the top of the stairs, still moving fast, he was a good five or six paces ahead of me, and pulling away, when "OOF!" he ran face first into a concrete pillar, knocking himself down and cussing like a sailor.

I was the first on the scene, and should have stopped and helped, but I didn't want anyone to catch me laughing at a blind man, and surely one of the two hundred people three steps behind me would be more than willing to come to his aid. So I continued on, biting my tongue hard until I got up to street level and actually laughed out loud.

And really, I wasn't so much laughing at him as I was at the wild stretch and snap of my own assumptions. And of course the fact that he had actually said, "Oof!"

I know I shouldn't be telling this, but when I was about 15 me and my mom went to church and ended up having to sit in the balcony section. The steps leading to the balcony were very steep and not very wide. During alter call we decided to go down for prayer and i ended up a couple of people in front of my mom. All of a sudden I heard this commotion behind me and as I turned around here comes my mom tumbling down the stairs. All I could see was this green dress and white girdle flying pass me. The next thing I knew she was laying at the bottom of the stairs with on leg on the step and her wig crooked. I love my mom dearly, but the next day after we were sure there was no permanent damage...I laughed so hard because it was like something right out of a comedy show. My mom even laughed after some of the aches in her back went away. What a church service that turned out to be.

Answer 4

My son was about 5 and we were on a walk, he was walking in a cement ditch that had a bit of water in the bottom, along main street and I said for him to be careful or he would slip, he did and I couldnt stop laughing, he still remembers it and he is 23.

another time I was walking my little yorkie and he jumped into the leaf filled ditch and disappeared for a few seconds before he jumped back out.

Answer 5

Whenever someone gets hurt, but not seriously, it is always funny. When you are playing a sport and some guys gets hit in the groin region, or when you slip and fall on a sheet of ice. As long as there isn't any blood it is all funny!!

Answer 6

Not me, but my friend and his wife. She accidentally (?) slammed the car door on his fingers. The car was new and the rubber weatherstripping was thick and it didn't hurt him very much, just sort of shocked him so that he could not speak for a moment. She didn't seem aware of what the had done. Then she started the car up and began to back out the driveway (dragging him along!), until her husband started yelling to stop. She thought he was only kidding! When he told her what happened, she absolutely cracked up.

Boy am I glad I'm not married to her.

Answer 7

A friend wanted to get ferret and somehow thought that I could help convince his wife that it was a good idea. So he brought me to the pet shop that had the exact ferret he wanted, an albino that looked evil. When I pointed out that it looked evil he said "Yeah isn't it great"
"But it looks evil, do you really want an evil pet?"
"Oh, they're harmless, they don't even bite, see?"
At that point he stuck his hand in the cage and of course the ferret clamped down on his finger, he tried to pull his hand out but only further enraged it by smacking it's nose against the bar and kept struggling until a clerk came to help him.
I would've helped but I was laughing to hard.

Answer 8

Well, you made me laugh with the
bump bump bump and the "ohhh ohhh ohhh"..
I'm STILL laughing!
Sorry, I can't top that one (although I did have one about a dog biting a jogger and pulling his pants down as he was running away yelling "polllicccce! helllp! pollllliccccce!!)...Nope, your bumping stair riding husband did it for me!

Good show!

Answer 9

I think it's funny when people fall. It's like watching America's Funniest Home Videos Live.

Answer 10

ok, but this is bad...

me, my two little brothers, and my mom were staying in a hotel for a couple days. my mom was on the phone one night and my brothers were fooling around near the bathroom. i was at the mirror doing my hair. then all of a sudden my mom jumps up like she's going to smack one of my little brothers for something (i don't remember what for). when she gets up, the bro. in the bathroom shuts the door real fast while the other one is outside the door. but when he shut it, other bro's finger was in the door. after the other one opened the door, he took his finger out and was screaming and crying and jumping up and down yelling "my fingerrr!". his finger looked so nasty and smooshed. my mom starting yelling at me to go get ice, and i was laughing. and my mom's like "why are you laughing?!- his finger could fall off!" and i started laughing more.

Answer 11

Someone just tripped over and blamed his dog for tripping him, the dog was 3 feet away from him!

but what really makes me laugh is the way they lie to not get embarass and how the others laugh
