When you see a teenage fall of a skateboard, doesnt it put you in a good mood?

[faster skating penguin]

One of my best friends is a "hardcore" skater and I constantly hurt him and make fun of him for it

But yes, it buts me in a VERY good mood. Good enough to eat pie. MMMMMMMM, pie.

[Zeldy]

Well im not very good on a skateboard I can only go so far and i just fall off..
All the skaters round myn are Pro's

[Cuchulainn]

That, my friend, is Schadenfreude. Schadenfreude is german for "happiness at the misfortunate of others." There's a song about it from a play called Avenue Q, it's great. You should look up the lyrics.

There's no English word for Schadenfreude. The closest would have to be "Hahahaha!"

I remember hearing that.

German often connects words. Schadenfreude literally means malicious pleasure.

I enjoy it almost as much as I enjoy taffy. And I'm a man who likes his taffy.

I enjoy it almost as much as I enjoy taffy. And I'm a man who likes his taffy.

are you the one who has been stealing my water?

[Halifax Housewife]

any sort of physical pain that someone endures as long as they're not seriously hurt is funny to me..

[GooeyToast]

I laugh when someone gets hit by a bus.


~Keep it gooey~

[kikimm]

Eh. Unless I see someone I don't like, I don't find it that funny. I have more of a "Oh jeez, that's gotta hurt! Poor thing." reaction. =/

[Mitch]

I cry when my toast gets gooey

[T-MaN]

Not really. I fail to see the humour involved in someone falling off and getting hurt. If it was someone I hate, then I'd be cruel and say that he deserved it, but I wouldn't laugh about it.

[XxSephirothxX]

I don't think I'd find it funny if I saw it up-close-and-personal, considering how easy it is to break bones or get huge scrapes on skateboards. However, when watching video clips and such, it's often hilarious, especially when people try to grind down railings and end up busting their nuts on the rail or their faces on the steps.

[Khaotic]

They have to learn somehow, and I can assure you every skateboarder falls, no matter how good they are.

[Meat Puppet]

I's funnier when an old person falls off that skateboard and then runs after me with a chainsaw, beheads me and uses the rest in a stew.

[KentaRawr!]

The first video I saw of someone skate-boarding, I found hilarious. He tried to skate down steps... >_> I find it funny because I am evil.

[Tifa Lockheart]

I've always liked the "skater boy" look...

But it's always funny to watch someone else get hurt... as long as they don't need to be hospitalized
