Woman falling through window - anyone else not find it funny?!

214 replies

Quirrelsotherface · 02/02/2024 17:31

So the video of the woman with her boobs falling out was being shared all day yesterday on SM and several friends sent it through on WhatsApp. Very different friends of mine from different backgrounds, different ages etc saying they couldn't stop laughing at it.

Then all over TV today. Is there something wrong with me because I just didn't find it funny? Mildly amusing maybe but not something that would make me laugh out loud or cause me to nearly wee as one friend told me.

Anyone else or am I a weirdo?

Oh shut up OP!

It was funny- people don't mean literally when they say they weed themselves! But it cheered up a dismal February day for lots of people and made them chuckle.

In the spirit of the question, though, things which aren’t objectively funny can often seem hilarious in the moment, so maybe I would have found it funny in real life. Plenty of things are hilarious with friends but are ‘had to be there’ moments. Have you never tried to explain something that happened which you found hilarious to someone who wasn’t there and realised it actually was dull/pointless/otherwise not funny if you weren’t involved?

@cardibach that's pretty much what I said on the other thread as well.

Sadly as humans we seem to be programmed to find a bit of slapstick funny!

I must be missing that gene. I don't find slapstick funny at all. I prefer my humour to be a little more subtle.

Yes, physical comedy doesn’t do it for me. I find word play hilarious.

I wouldn’t explain a “had to be there” moment to someone else expecting a laugh if they weren’t there 😆

Well no. Neither would I really. I was answering a question about whether I’d have laughed if I’d been there given I don’t find the video funny.

I’m glad it sheered some people up. I’m not a fan of people telling those who didn’t to shut up, or that we are humourless and friendless though.

I was more amused by the helpless reaction of her friend. I empathised with her laughing so much that she was in danger of peeing herself.

Princesspollyyy · 03/02/2024 15:58

I didn't find it funny either. Not in the slightest but funny 🤷🏻‍♀️

MichaelAndEagle · 03/02/2024 16:02

I wouldn't say I find slapstick funny generally actually, and I loved this!
I wouldn't have laughed if this was a scene in a sitcom for example.
Which makes me think it is the very genuine reaction of the sister that makes it for me.

Interesting what makes some of us laugh and not others.

HoneyButterPopcorn · 03/02/2024 16:03

I didn’t realise they were sisters. My god if that was one of my sisters it would have been;

’ive cut my hand’
‘hahhahahaha’
’no I’m bleeding badly’
‘Bahahahhahahaha!’
’my finger has been chopped off’
’eeehhehhhehhhehehehe!
‘Im passing out through loss of blood’
’Oh shall I get you a plaster?’

Maybe that’s why I don’t enjoy slapstick.

However this video did make me snigger in a childish way (but I did think she was in a towel and had been locked out, and wondered why the woman in shorts didn’t go in, or why she didn’t stand on the bin to get access).

You are a weirdo

Wetblanket78 · 03/02/2024 23:52

I thought it was hilarious I laughed until I cried when I watched it again and realised her boobs were on show. I would be like her sister laughing so much I can't do anything to help.🤣🤣🤣

So your aunt and her sister are both called Lisa?
