Laughing at pain

[Opo]

I've always wondered why do some people find this funny and some don't? 

Sex is a factor but idn if it's biological or environmental. 

 

Different people reacting to the same clip.

there are entire channels with accidents like failarmy with millions of subs. so , this is super widespread as it seems but i feel dumb wasting time on those useless videos tho many including my cousin are finding them funny.

People rationalize all kind of things whether they know it or not.

Some people may think:

It's okay for me to laugh if they did not die. 

I am learning to laugh more. Laughter is the best medicine.

For me, it's not really the pain that is funny. It's the way which the pain is gained. That's the entire appeal of Jackass and skateboarding falls (I think most of the guys from Jackass are skateboarders). It has to look like it hurt at least a little bit or you're not likely to get the effect, but even then, if the pain is too bad or it causes severe injuries, it's quickly not funny anymore. Those two videos were all pain, no gain.
