I laughed when I read that a woman had fallen out of a car on a motorway while leaning out and recording a clip for "Snapchat". It's a bit like those idiots who fall off cliffs taking selfies. I think it's hilarious. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surrey-54217327Not so funny for anyone whose day was spoiled by the traffic issues but it's much better to laugh than be depressed by the idiocy of modern humans.

Other people's misfortune, misery, or just bad luck - its the basis of nearly all humour (with the exception of children's humour).
The Germans even have a word for it - schadenfreude.
Does anybody know a joke which doesn't rely on having fun at somebody's expense? Its not as easy as you might think.

Does anybody know a joke which doesn't rely on having fun at somebody's expense? Its not as easy as you might think. One snowman turned to another snowman and said "Can you smell carrots?" Baby penguin goes to its Dad and says "Am I a proper penguin?" and Dad says "I'm a penguin, and your Mum's a penguin so yes, of course you're a penguin" So the baby penguin goes to its Mum and says "Mummy, am I really, truly, a proper penguin?" and Mum says "Don't be silly ... I'm a penguin, and your Dad's a penguin, so yes ... of course you're a proper penguin ... why do you ask little one?" And the baby penguin says (all together now) "Cos I'm f'ing freezing !" You didn't say they had to be new ... or funny Rog

Really ... I heard both in pubs amongst a group of gents ... not even a pair of kids shoes nearby ... of course being well oiled adds to the humour.

I read a report of a body reported at the base of the cliffs at Beachy Head. When the body was recovered, apparently two more were discovered which had no connection to each other, one of which had been there for some time.

Rog I guess you could add a 'fuck' to just about any joke. If a child would find it funny; if you could tell it to a child in front of the parents; I think that makes it count as kid's humour. Doesn't stop an adult laughing. Some kid jokes are great. How about one you wouldn't tell to your grandchildren (unless you are the bad grandpa).

Nah ... I try not to use profanity on the forum.
I totally accept that a lot of humour is based on someone's misfortunate, but it's a long way from all humour.

Rog It doesn't have to contain swearing. Also 'someone else's misfortune' is too narrow a definition. Which is why calling someone 'bignose' often gets a laugh.

"A Kazakhstan woman reportedly was killed Sunday after plummeting more than 100 feet off a cliff in Turkey while posing for a photo to commemorate the end of the local coronavirus lockdown. To mark the end of quarantine, the adventurer scaled a safety barrier so her friend could snap her standing on the cliff’s edge. Her celebratory photo op went south when she slipped on the grass and plunged 115 feet to her death in front of her horrified companion." nypost.com/2020/04/30/woman-falls-to-death-while-shooting-selfie-to-celebrate-end-of-lockdown/A 21-year-old tourist from England died over the weekend when she fell off a cliff in Australia while taking a selfie. There are signs in the area warning people to stay away from the edge of the cliff. "My daughter was not self-obsessed she was a wonderful beautiful person that made a mistake,” her mother wrote, "She believed in universal oneness" people.com/human-interest/madalyn-davis-dies-australia-selfie-cliff/New 'idiotic' trend feared at Norway's Trolltunga. Last week, Swedish tourist Sarah Persson saw a group of climbers flirting with death in the quest for a perfect selfie. The climbers, who turned out to be British tourists, used straps to help one man dangle from Trolltunga as he took his photo with a selfie stick. “It’s idiotic behaviour. You can fall and die; it’s that simple,” Soldal said. Persson told The Local that others at Trolltunga could hardly believe their eyes. www.thelocal.no/20160927/new-idiotic-trend-spotted-at-norways-trolltunga
