Things that are funny, but shouldn't be

I was reflecting earlier about things that we commonly laugh at but are really not that funny.

1) Getting hurt. This is what started the whole reflection. Drew has really gotten into shows that portray a lot of slapstick comedy like Tom and Jerry and the Roadrunner cartoons. After cracking up over a few good anvils on the head, Drew turned towards me and straight punk slapped me in the face and started laughing. Looking back on the incident now it does seem kind of funny, but at the time I wasn't laughing. I patiently explained that "pretend huring" is funny, but "real hurting" isn't. Yet in reality "real hurting" on other people is kind of funny. Nothing is as automatic in comedy than a good smack in the balls, people will crack up everytime. Yet we don't stop and think about how much pain and suffering the poor guy is going through and how there may be some permanent damage that can prevent procreation because that's not so funny.

2) Porn. Not everybody may think this is funny. Maybe because it's so uncomfortable a subject that I laugh just because I don't know what else to do. Joel's comment on my "what is this" post had me cracking up for days. Although the idea of a porn kaliedescope is extremely funny, the reality of one isn't as funny. Could you image that poor guys wife if he really had a porn kaliedascope? Trying desparetly to get her husbands love and attention but all he's interested in is the crazy psycedelic images of naked people on his coveted contraption.

3)Poop. Man, nothing is as automatic as a good do-do joke. Sometimes just saying the word "duty" will incite laughter. However, if you've ever had to empty the sewage tank of an R.V. or Houseboat you will quickly realize there is nothing f... wait a minute, maybe this one really is just funny.

Hope I haven't severly offended any of you and if you have any other things that are funny but shouldn't be, please share.
