Do you like watching people do dangerous/painful/stupid shit?

[Spambot 3000]

After watching some videos on Youtube of people eating Habanero Peppers and some guy eating 150 Warheads, I realised something ... watching people hurt themselves is funny. Does anyone else get enjoyment watching people do dangerous stunts or painful shit or anything? Jackass and all that. I think it's fun. Anyone agree?

 

[Eleuthera]

Generally, no I don't.

Seeing someone attempt a stunt and it failing miserably can definitely be funny. seeing someone doing something I know (and they know) will fail or hurt just annoys me. I never enjoyed shows like Jackass and the like.

 

[Goofguy]

Not anymore, no. As a teenager, I got a kick out of the Jackass guys and their stunts but nowadays, I don't care much for them. Doing stuff like the knife game is a good way to lose a finger over a stupid bet or attempt to get YouTube views.

Oh yeah, that's definitely funny too. I find fail compilation videos and stuff like that are always good for a laugh towards that kid who tries to parkour across some tin roofs.

Well... kinda, especially if they get hurt... but not too severely. It's their own fault after all...

I like to look at people before and after their plastic surgery.

No I'm far too worried about people xD My friend showed me pictures of her daughter ice skating on a nearby lake and I was like NUUHHH.

I'm far too protective.

My opinion about people who watch Jackass are too severe for this forum.

That being said, we are all animals, and we all like to watch things die... from a safe distance.

P.S. how do you embed in this place, it seems that each forum tries to embed youtube differently just to annoy its users.

Depends on what your definition of that is, and the circumstances. For example, I love watching mythbusters, but that's because they're having fun and by extension I'm having fun. Also science.

 

[krazykidd]

As long as they don't die and it's not graphic ( like lost limbs and such ) i don't mind . As long as it wasn't an accident ( like a car crash ). It has to be something stupid someone did on purpose .

I don't, I hate it, as soon as someone puts on "footballer breaks a leg" or something of the sort I'm out of the room
I love watching people do awesome stuff but the failures/bloopers of said videos is something I keep myself away from

No, I think it's ridiculous and well.. Stupid. Darwinism, maybe? :/

 

[Yuno Gasai]

Not particularly, no.

I don't mind the mild stuff you see on compilation shows like You've Been Framed, but anything outside of that, I don't really have an interest in.

I've found myself becoming more empathetic (and consequently more squeamish) as I get older, so watching most dangerous/painful videos makes me feel icky. :c

 

[loc978]

After the things I've seen and had done to me in real life... anything up to and including a cleanly broken bone (which is something that has happened to me and healed all without me noticing) is all just in good fun.

So yes.

Speaking of... if you've seen everything CKY/Jackass has made and want more of the same, these idiots scratch that itch:

...except they tend to be a bit less safe about things.

 

[FFP2]

Absolutely. Except if they get seriously injured.

Spoiler: say goodbye to your productivity...

 

[Treeinthewoods]

Of course, it's funny to see great fails and moments of self-injury. We've all been there before, learn to laugh!

Indeed it works, thank you, ill need to write that down somewhere so i wont forget.

 

[Ryotknife]

according to the internet, guys getting hit in the junk is hilarious, especially if it was their own fault

 

[piinyouri]

As I've gotten older, I find I'm not so amused by the Jackass type stuff where it involves them getting hurt/ dealing with something disgusting. It was entertaining and humorous when I was younger.

Things like what the Jackass crew did in the first movie were they dressed as old men and messed with people, that's more funny to me now.
