Something Funny

Watch this video and wait for it.

Okay. Now, I have to admit, the first time I watched this video with my roommates, I couldn't catch my breath. I couldn't catch my breath the second time we watched it either. Or the third time. And probably 10 more replays after that, all our abs were hurting from our hardcore laughing session. 

I showed this to multiple people, and some had the same response as my roommates and me, but others (including my mother) were almost as horrified at this girl hitting the wall as they were about the fact that I thought it was hilarious. 

For the people like my mother, this was not an funny thing because for her (being a mother and all) the little girl's pain is something wholly bad. The fact that the girl is in pain negates the physical humor of the situation, therefore rendering the video unenjoyable.

I guess for me the funny thing is the little girl's utter joy followed directly by a flying face full of wall. For a brief moment this strikes me as extremely hilarious. Of course, until she starts crying. But I tell myself she's okay because this video is on the internet and they don't put things on the internet if bad things actually happened to the participant of said video... right? Plus, kids cry at anything and they don't have all their grown-up teeth yet anyway.

Jokes aside, I feel that his video is probably only funny if you are able to suspend emotion about the little girl's pain, or if you are a sociopath. Otherwise, you actually start to feel really bad for the pink footie pajama'd child.

For my roommates and I, this was pure greatness captured by a hill billy family. We were apparently able to disregard the kid's pain. Perhaps it was a social phenomenon, but the fact that we all found it so strikingly funny only contributed to the incessant laughter. 

Hope you got a little chuckle from it.
