        You mean slapstick?

        The humor that is funny mainly because you suspend disbelief and watch something else get hurt?

        That type of comedy that practically dominated for several decades?

        The key to a lot of humor regarding misfortune is that it either isn’t regarding you, hits a point that is true but not the core of who you are, or is far away enough that you can suspend disbelief.

        In other words, yes, because they’re jokes

        I mean you can literally just watch three stooges and people will laugh at someone getting punched in the face.

            Goddamn you people cannot be this thick.

            I’d say the same thing to you honestly. You seem too stuck up for humor. You aim for extremes for everything.

            I can have empathy for others, but not for you, who seems to purposely put yourself in situations to be offended.

            edit: wait standup is also setup comedy…come on man. You’re literally writing situations for you to be offended in.

        I’d saying paying to go see a comedian who’s work you are familiar and comfortable with.

        Does a mean statement hurt your body in the same physical way as a punch to the face? That’s a really stupid comparison.

            Why is someone who has experienced hardship or loss, going to a comedian who is known for mean/dark humor?

            You can’t make humor that pleases everyone every time. That’s unrealistic.

            We get it. You’re a victim. Shut up already.

        If you’re genuinely unsure whether punching someone is a joke then I don’t think you should be joking with people
