Tell me you didn't laugh..
- Thread starter Let It Fall
- Start date
One could argue that you're the one lacking IQ if you think that one's Intelligence Quotient is, in any way, indicative of what they should find humorous or vice-versa. Your use of the word "troll" (read: Troll), is also wrong. And like Stu said, Let It Fall's been around here for a while. So what's that, 0 points awarded for 3 points attempted? We call that a fail where I come from. If you don't like it, that's perfectly fine but you're throwing throwing around words, phrases and "facts" that don't make any sense in the context that you present them in.
Worthless? Not at all. Hilarious? Absolutely. Karma? Don't believe in it. Have a nice day.
DAYUM
Remind me never to piss you off
You're missing my point. Choosing to air one's turmoil on TV (for what purpose? pretty much every reality TV participant want to be a star, somehow) renders me a whole lot less sympathetic. This is a half step up from Springer.
ETA: And I certainly don't know their story. Were it a picture or video of, say, someone grieving over a loved one's death, we'd know immediately from the circumstances and it wouldn't be funny.
I can't help but think that that man isn't really crying. I'm sorry if it makes me a bad person, but I giggled. It sounded exactly like what my little brother and sister used to do when they were trying to get their way about something.
What is funny is not the public emotional display but the taken out of context sound, especially the second one through an auto tunner. I laughed 'till I cried.
People need to stop falling all over themselves being PC and sensitive about everything. It's ok to laugh; at anything that is funny.

You can't build an argument without proper support. I've learned that the hard way.
I feel like I need to clarify this point though for everyone: No decent person that finds this funny is laughing at this man's misfortune. I doubt any of us even know what is going on in that scene. We're taking it completely out of context and just laughing at how these guys sound. The first time I saw this I fell out of my chair laughing but not at the pain that these two are going through, that would just be wrong.
Look kid your funny..I dont have time to waste here anymore. I was bored and drifted into this stupid mess. I rarely come into this fourm due to its not anything to do with bass etc. There are a few dark holes on TB and when I opened this and seen the reaction I should of shut up. Since I seen that story and knew of it even before he did the TV show it kind of touched me. I have a background in Mental health /substance abuse from my work so its close to me.
I have seen the damage its has done to familys, and its not pretty.The bottom line is I'm too thick skinned to let any one on an Internet thread to get to me... a kid no less. BTW some of you show your lack of IQ by not even knowing the story behind the video .TV or not its tragic...self inflicted yes..still tragic. You might not belive in Karma but I know you do inside. Its there and we all know it. Have fun boy's I wasted enough of my time with some of the TB dark holes.
You've got a really poor concept of what IQ actually is, don't you? I'll give you a tip - not knowing the background of a reality tv programme episode isn't in any way related to IQ.
For the record, I, personally, have come through a substance abuse problem, I've seen the sh** and the hurt it causes. I've seen the emotional wreckage that can be left behind. The sound that guy made was still funny. Not because of his emotional turmoil (which I'm not entirely convinced of - I'm a firm believer that people who really want to sort things out do so out of the public eye, people who want to make a quick buck do it on reality TV), but because the sound itself was funny. I think it was funny because it sounds so damned contrived and false.
Apparently not. That "kid" you condescendingly referred to posted a link to a video that I personally thought was funny. Maybe you disagree because of your history or whatever reason, but barging into this thread, insinuating people are dumb for finding something you disliked to be funny and then having the balls to lie through your teeth by saying that "kid" can't get to you when what he posted *obviously* did is nothing short of the biggest ironic epic fail I've seen in quite a while.
You're right ; maybe you shouldn't comment in threads like these... you know, the ones that require a sense of humor.
And by the way, IQ has nothing to do with maturity, or ironically intelligence, for that matter. Look it up, do some research about it. It'd be best for you to be educated about something prior to throwing terms like these around. Otherwise, you might want to get used to how your foot tastes.
Yeah man, only the mentally challenged have the ability to find humor in serious things. Smart people take everything in the world DEAD SERIOUS.
To paraphrase James Brown: "Kwesi don't, Kwesi don't, Kwesi don't - Kwesi don't take no mess!"One could argue that you're the one lacking IQ if you think that one's Intelligence Quotient is, in any way, indicative of what they should find humorous or vice-versa

Well said sir!
I was not aware that "we all" had recently become subscribers to Indian mystical beliefs. Thanks for filling me in.
Dude, this is the off topic thread... Naturally there won't be anything about basses here....
I laughed, I couldn't help it. Usually when someone cries they start off with sobbing and then it escalates, right? The fact that this skipped a step or two made it funny. 
I'm guessing then you must be a social worker of sorts. I would expect that sort of work to also train you not to overtly insist that you're better than everyone around you because of their choices.
