You're right, it's not funny when a real child bashes his head against something. Then we remember this is a movie, and a comedy. People laugh at things that are otherwise horrifying and disturbing, because they know it's not real. I would probably laugh for a different reason than Sabin. My laughter would be geared towards the mindset of "did that just happen? How irresponsible of them!"rolotomasi99 wrote:Clearly I misjudged you boys. If a baby having its face smashed by a car door is hilarious to you, that is all I need to know to judge you and your sense of humor.
Maybe I am just sensitive because I actual saw a baby's head get smashed while on a plane. The stressed out mother was not paying attention and lifted the baby up until it hit the ceiling of the small plane. The baby screamed the rest of the flight as the mother kept tearfully apologizing to the child and those who gasped in horror when it happened. Trust me, it is not funny when you see it in real life.
We're talking about a medium where the worst situations involving drugs, sex, and death are made light of. Surely people can relate to getting drunk, wake up the next morning, and not know what the hell happened the night before. It doesn't have to be you, but there are people that find humor in those situations and that doesn't necessarily make them stupid for it.
