Terrible, or terribly funny?

Im just going to go ahead and tell you what it is. Its footage of the world trade center attacks with Yackety Sax dubbed over it. I laughed, but more at the fact that there was someone weird enough to think it up.

Opinions?

It was ****ing hilarious. But, it was also kind of stupid... still funny.




Posted by Boner

It's so ****ed up that I actually laughed at that. I'm totally going to hell.

What he said.



Posted by Boner

I think the only reason I even laughed was the fact that it was a video sped up with the Benny Hill music as the sound track. It probably could have been any video with that music and I'd have at least chuckled for a second. I saw no humor in the actual tragedy of those attacks.




Posted by Delilah

Yeah, I guess it is like Boner said- it was the music, however, the rest was tragic.




Posted by Ant

Old'd. Still not funny.




Posted by Iris

Not really funny. The music didn't go very well, so that's probably why. Maybe if they played the clips backwards and at a faster speed it might have been more amusing.




Posted by Random

Not funny. People died in those towers and it was a terrorist attack on our nation. I'd really like to see who made it up, then I can go take a giant rock and crush their skull(s) in.

Anyone who laughs at this deserves to be punched, and you better STFU.

Uh yeah.. It was only *counts* 5 years ago. We must remember what happend in history so it never repeats itself. We lost a few thousand people over it Vamp. Its not some walk in the park to forget..

Not to mention that its not funny to see innocent lives takin and have people laughing about it.




Posted by Omni

I'm not finding it funny. All those people died, including some of my family's friends. Also, I'm originally from NYC, and my father was an electrical foreman and he worked on those buildings...

Interesting fact: My mother and father were there on 9/10 with my aunt, and she took pictures of the WTC.

Oh, and the whole nazi-conservative act doesn't make you look smart in anyone's eyes. Give it up.




Posted by Arwon

It's a jarring juxtaposition of momentous tragedy and hilariously whimsical music, a big gap between expectations and what is presented... a well-established comedic formula. Of course it's gonna get guilty laughs. Terrible or terribly funny? More like both.

Did something happen on September 11 a few years ago? I seem to have forgotten. Better turn on the country music station to remind myself.

(Editted to add: Oh ***, ok, the sped-up running is perfect and that's what makes it so funny.)




Posted by junior senior

best part was when they started running fast.




Posted by WackoHater2

That was hilarious. It was the music though. That music makes anything and everything funny. A man could be castrated and I would laugh, as long as that music was playing. Sad at the same time though.




Posted by Slade

Huh, somehow I missed the people running the first time I watched it. I just watched it again and chuckled a little bit more. Arwon pretty much nailed it on why it's even amusing at all.

Also, some guy commented it saying he was one of the people running down 57 flights of stairs to save his life with dirt and human flesh on his suit. I don't believe him. :/




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Best one was a group of girls playing soccer with all the parents watching, then suddenly the music kicks in and a girl steps on a mine and blows herself up with the parents screaming and crying because their daughter just died.

Apparently the original commercial was about mines and how they're bad or something. I still lol'd tho.




Posted by Sapphire Rose

In the second clip of the towers being hit (grey sky, CNN, far away shot) it looks like the side of the tower vomited.

I lol'd.

I'm not going to hell since I'm a god. This was funny.

OHHHH yeah ya know.. Its okay to joke about innocent people dying only 5 years after it. Some little girl who was maybe a year old, had her father die in there and she'll never know him because of it. If she saw this video, she'd be absolutely crushed..

OH WAI~ lets forget Hurricane Katrina.. Its been a year guys! People died.. WHO CARES? LETS STOP SENDING MONEY.. we've sent billions.. Let them fend for themselves.. **** who cares?? HAHAHA geez I wish another Hurricane Katrina strikes..

Posted by KoH

So when Random called me over to his computer and showed me this thread I didn't find the video itself to be funny at all, but instead the fact that you all were so easily amused but such a lame video. I understand that others thought it was honestly funny and I respect that. But my issue isn't so much the fact that the video's making a mockery of 9/11 but rather that it was just plain unfunny.

I can't understand though why some of you think that a televised execution of a mass murderer is inappropriate and a video making fun of the actual mass murder with funny music (being the only thing remotely funny about it) to be amusing. It just doesn't seem right to me.

Yeah I really don't care why they were laughing. The fact that they're laughing at a video which had a few airplanes of a few terrorists kill thousands of people just isnt' flat out funny.

And yeah people remember hurricane katrina. We've spent more on Katrina than we have money for our soldiers in Iraq. Its kind of sick if you think about it in the long run. I mean people down there were hit hard and all but a lot of that money we sent down there hasn't fixed the problems that truley need fixed.

Now you've got Whoopie Goldberg (I don't even give two ****s if I spell that right), Robin Williams, and Billy Crystal doing some Comedy Relief..

I'm just sick that we'd send way more money down there than we do in a war that our troops are involved in, and none of the very serious problems were fixed. The governor of New Orleans can go **** herself too..

A person drowning in Hurricane Katrina

A little child killed...

How freaking amusing. I'm glad you think its funny Vamp. No really because it goes to show what kind of a person you are.. Y'know I think it' dbe really funny if someone killed you and I could watch it on the internet.

NO NO.. Thatd be helarious.. A WHOLE NEW LEVEL.. Hell.. I'd like to see you stabbed, and mangled, and tortured then raped. It'd be helarious.. I'll add Michael Jacksons "Billy Jean" and we'll have a gay old time.

Nah, but what IS funny is that I told you why the OP could be considered humourous--having not much to do with dead people at all--and you actually seemed to register it. Now you seem to be completely lost and have no idea what you're talking about. Here: " I don't think anyone here is laughing at the fact that people died, rather, the juxtaposition of something horrific and hilarious music. "

There you go. Notice the part where I say no one is laughing at the fact that a lot of people died? It just happened to be involved. If you weren't such a moron, you'd realise people CAN laugh about tragedies. That's what a large percent of comedy is made up of.

Lord, learn how to spell and type, firstly, then stop caring about something so passionately that has very little to do with you when you most likely don't give a **** about the hundreds of people who just died this past hour over the world. Though, those weren't televised, nor made into a spectacle, so why would you care?

I reiterate, don't take this **** seriously. 9/11 and Katrina are nothing more than faded memories and gold mines for political jokes at this point in the eyes of the general public. People can and will laugh at tragedies when a joke is set around them. That doesn't mean they're laughing at the fact that people lost family members. Durr durr durr.

You're an idiot.

I laughed at two of those. In the first one, I see a guy pointing at the dead person in the tree. AS IF IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE POINTED OUT, LOL. And in the last one, the expression on the president's face is priceless. Count all of those wrinkles on his forehead! ahahaha!

Notice I'm not finding humor in the dead people, but rather other people's reactions to the dead people. Something different entirely. Just like I'm laughing at your reaction right now.

I lol'd pretty hard at that. Also, you do realize that the halloween after Katrina hit, the people of new orleans dressed up in katrina style costumes, right? I remember seeing one guy as a fridge full of spoiled food, and another as a house with people on the roof and fema choppers overhead.

Point is, if you let **** like this just get at you and eat you up inside, it kills you. Learn to mourn, move on, and then try to find the humor in things and you wont turn into a mindless revenge machine who wants blood for blood.

You're so full of doublestandards, it's not funny. When it's us, it's a tragedy. When it's them, who gives a ****? Or so you would have us believe.

Bottom line: either major, terrible events can have fun poked at them, or they can't. Period. Not, "well, they're Japanese, so it's OK to make fun of them."

WE killed well over 20 times the amount of people who died in the 9/11 attacks with nuclear bombs, you ****ing moron. The vast, vast majority were totally innocent, with literally just a few being military casualties. We're talking thousands and thousands of innocent civilians.

And don't bull**** me and tell me there's a difference. There is no ****ing difference. INNOCENT PEOPLE DIED. That's what you should care about, faggot. Not to mention Katrina, but they're POOR so why the **** would you care?
