Only if it's small stuff! At work we laugh at minor flubs of eachother all the time, it just takes the tension off I guess... and we know each other well enough that we know it's not meant in a bad way. I don't laugh when people get really hurt or when something serious goes wrong, though. Never saw the fun of those 'funniest' home videos where people take a bad fall or drop expensive stuff, that's just sad.

Narcissistic ability a fascination with one's self. Sadistic ability enjoying inflicting soreness upon others. a guy or woman enjoying killing bugs and looking out excitement interior the misfortune of animals is sadistic to boot as myriad different issues, yet not narcissistic.

Unfortunately, we are a society that enjoys train wrecks. When you slow down to look at traffic accident, you'll notice you are not alone or you couldn't affect the traffic flow. This is why American Idol is so successful and I count myself as a fan. Anyone who auditions is putting themselves out there to be laughed at if they sing really bad. It's unfortunate if they really didn't know they were lousy but they took the chance. I'd rather laugh with someone but you can't fix stupid.

It is like that shirt: It is only funny until someone gets hurt then it is hilarious. Sometimes it will help though to break the awkwardness of the situation.

I used to laugh constantly. I've seen it so much you'd think I would be tolerant to that kind of humor now. But everything gets me. If someone trips over nothing on the floor I'll laugh. If someone gives a speech and their voice cracks terribly, I'll laugh to myself.

My friend collided with a lamp post on a school cross country run once. I couldn't help him because I was on the floor laughing so hard.

You mean slapstick? Hugely popular form of comedy. Plenty of people enjoy it.
