There should be youtube videos here but I don't see them for some reason. Anyway, here are some links instead:

These videos could be a good empathy excercise for some people as well.

I'm curious what do you think and feel about this video:

What's with all your passive-aggressive sniping, anyway? What is the point of cushioning your snippy insults with sarcastic compliments? It doesn't make you appear more clever, it just makes you look like a confused, rabid dog- growling and yipping one minute, turning onto your back and whimpering submissively the next. Did you think this tactic would deter me from lambasting you? Or maybe you want it- with a sprinkle of sugar.

Perhaps you ought to change your name to the aspartame girl: artificially sweet, yet full of shit. I mean that in the nicest way, of course. ~

I like when you get aggressive and  start firing questions at me. I like to assume that people can handle me communicating with them in the same way they communicate with others, you seem to have taken it personally. Also im telling uncle bob, fuck

How very candid. Now... Tell me why you want it. Are you a masochist?

Regardless of how aggressive I may sound, I don't get worked up here. It's all just banter, hun... Fun and games, yeah? But the rules of engagement here suit me, so I stick around. :)

I don't laugh when I see kids or other people getting hurt. I think those TV shows/videos where people have nasty accidents and everyone laughs are very stupid. My first, knee jerk reaction would be to go over there and see if that person's hurt badly, and help him/her. It wouldn't be to stand by and laugh like an idiot.

Shit. I didn't watch mee's videos, but my knee jerk reaction to such incidents is to laugh uproariously.

When I was about 12 years old, I lived by an abandoned shipyard where one could mess around on old unattended barges and boats. It was located in a polluted river. Once, I convinced a friend to join me in my little trespassing escapades. She tried to keep up,  but chickened out as she attempted to maneuver herself from the landing onto a barge- and in her hesitation, her weight started pushing the boat away from the side. So there she was with one foot on land and the other on the barge, with the barge floating away and her legs spreading rapidly. I took one look at her undignified position, and the dead fish floating on the surface of the disgusting water where she would have landed, and doubled over in laughter- so much so that I was literally incapacitated. Like an idiot. :) Some guy had to stop on his bike and assist her while I convulsed hysterically. 

I remember this incident because that was the first time anyone looked at me as though to say: "there is something seriously wrong with you, kid". Also, my "friend" never forgave me, so I guess that was the straw that finally broke our friendship.

I also laughed hysterically while I was saving one of my exes from drowing. All his struggling, and the gobbling sounds he kept making with his throat just struck me as hilarious!

I exhibited no real malice during these incidents. I just find the most inappropriate scenarios humorous, sometimes. :P

Well, when I look back some things like those you described do seem funny. Especially since I know they ended well. But when they actually happen, I really don't feel like laughing, I feel like acting.

I think laughter is some sort of defense mechanism. Your subcounscious, when facing bad things, tries to deal with it in some way and laughter is a common reaction. I've seen people laugh hysterically in front of iminent danger to them or to others, or right after it.
