Can anyone tell me why video clips of ordinary people getting hurt, falling over, and so on, are thought to be funny. Even with my sometimes warped sense of humour I cannot find anything to laugh about in these clips. Why should somebody getting hurt cause a lot of hilarity? Maybe some of you laugh at these clips - so can you say why you do. I know it is good to have a laugh, and here’s to more of it, but to my way of thinking this should not be at other people’s expense.
