Horrible Or Hilarious: The 2 Sides Of Any Accident
I saw a woman fall over her own feet this morning. I had to look away because I was grinning from ear to ear.
Does that make me a bad person or just human?
To the few of you concerned about this young lady's condition, she is fine besides being very embarrassed and maybe with a slightly sore behind in the morning.
How is it that we as people have so many different reactions to these types of events?
I have been a long time supporter of comedians Tom Segura and Christina Pazsitzky and in particular their podcast ‘Your Moms House’.
It is an all round silly show that provides a fixture of comic relief in my life.
One segment which I am a keen viewer of throughout the 700+ episodes is ‘Horrible or Hilarious’.
Exclusively a segment perpetrated by Tom, it follows a set of clips that show people falling from roofs, getting hit by cars or having their genitals injured.
What makes this segment so fascinating to me it the 2 distinct reactions that the clips receive from viewers.
Either laughter or shock horror.
