[QUOTE=darth-veger;48464507]Funfact, in my police training we were actually told that if any colleague of ours got through a hard situation like dealing with a suicide situation or a car accident we should then make jokes either about the situation or something else regarding it to loosen the person up.
It is extremely effective.[/QUOTE]
You've reminded me of the things I've heard the firefighters & paramedics in the family joke about.
Either you joke about it or you'd be raining tears 24/7.
Not uncommon for dark humor at funerals either, though that definitely seems more like a European thing.
[QUOTE=Killer900;48459141]It's jokes at dead peoples' expense, it's pretty fucked.[/QUOTE]
woah now
the joke is about the explosion happening. not the effects of the explosion, or the implications.
it's about the explosion being on screen, and hearing the edited audio, and recognizing the 2, and laughing at how well it fits.
You've got to have your head stuck some far up your own ass to see this video and think about people dying and instantly proceed to feel obligated to call someone ELSE fucked.
The mainly funny thing about this is "GET THE WATER NIGGA" as there's a huge fucking fireball.

Who made you the moral police
Get off your high horse
[QUOTE=RichyZ;48467192]imagine thinking someones on a high horse for having a little respect for a recent tragedy
i didn't think the video was funny, and its not like i hate shock humor[/QUOTE]
Yeah I think people are on their high horse when they come into a thread and shit it up with moral policing and implying other people are fucked individuals.
I didn't think it was funny either, I just dislike how angry and toxic people get when other people laugh at tragic stuff. Human coping mechanisms and all. Saying other people are bad people for laughing at it is just moronic
Sure it's a recent tragedy, but damn, just because they're laughing at it doesn't mean they have little to no respect for the people that perished in the explosion.
[QUOTE=Killer900;48467107]And people died in that explosion[/QUOTE]
That's irrelevant to the intention of the video and you know it, you're being dramatic for no reason.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;48467273]im not gonna say people who laughed at it are idiot assholes, but i will say that anyone saying they're laughing as a coping mechanism are straight up bullshitters
you laugh as a coping mechanism to tragedies that directly relate to you, not to something that probably barely anyone here has any connection to aside from being a human[/QUOTE]
while it's technically not a coping mechanism, this explosion, and the disaster it's caused, makes me sad, and even though it doesn't directly have anything to do with me, I still don't like to be sad, because when I'm sad I'm in denial, so instead I try to look at this disaster as the reality that it is, and try to make the best of it.
that makes sense, yeah?
This might be a bit too middle-of-the-road of an opinion to have, but IMO you don't choose what you laugh at, and you don't choose what offends you
I wouldn't go out of my way to tell people they shouldn't laugh at something and I wouldn't say people who are actually offended at it are riding a moral high horse either

It's a valid opinion to have. But when people come into a thread whining that people are laughing at it, as well as berating them, it's kind of annoying. Sure, they can take offense to it, but there's no point in just shitting up the thread with[QUOTE=Killer900;48458564]You are a donkey[/QUOTE]

Take the moral dilemmas to SH imo
It's funny that the same people telling you you're a bad person for even watching this video is laughing at Hulk Hogan or Will Smith dancing and destroying the WTC in lmao pics.

how many of your relatives have died unexpectedly
There is no such thing as a universal standard for humour, as it is entirely subjective, therefor telling anyone to stop laughing at things you don't feel comfortable laughing at is futile and a waste of everyone's time. It does not matter how long a horrible event was ago or how many people died, some people will still find it funny and it is their right to do so, no matter why they feel like it. What is and what is not funny to you is your very own opinion, and you shouldn't force it down anyone's throat, which does not mean you aren't allowed to say it, just stop repeatedly telling everyone they're "wrong", that's not for anyone to say.

If you fail to see the point of the joke which is blatantly obvious, then you're a lost cause. You must live a pretty care-free life to prioritize taking offense to audio-edit jokes on Youtube.
Three pages of people debating if this content is funny or not. What a time to be alive.
I can't help but think the John Cena intro would be a little funny with this. FYI, I'm an awful person.
