Everybody laughs like crazy people for a few minutes and the guy slowly realizes how close that shark came.

According to someone's comments someone on Reddit pointed out that it's not dangerous, not sure out they figured that with the lovely video quality but gently caress that.

Yes, I'm sure the gigantic shark was coming in to see if he was all right. After all, Great Whites have been know to help swimmers in distress and even aid them in reaching shore. In fact, some sharks have been known to fend off attacking, uh, no wait. I've got that backwards, haven't I?

The Great Twist

theflyingorc posted:

Why are they laughing at almost accidentally killing their friend.

Ghostlight posted:

Laughter is a very effective coping mechanism for almost everything, including being a giant shitheel.

Reminds me of this Cracked Article:

quote:

Before we laughed at fart jokes, droll puns or adorable kitties playing peekaboo, we laughed in relief that the noise in the bushes wasn't a saber-tooth tiger ready to rip our throats out.

To understand the origin of laughter we have to first define "humor." The most popular definition of humor is "incongruity" -- the state where something isn't quite right. It can be anything from a difference of expectations between a joke's build-up and the result (the punchline) or just general absurdity (an armadillo riding a scooter made out of dildos).

OK, but how about this: a guy marries his high school sweetheart and the next day he tortures her to death. That's definitely incongruous, but it's not really funny (unless he did it while wearing a Big Bird costume). So there's definitely something missing in this theory, and according to psychology professor Peter McGraw, that something is the key to laughter itself: safety.

According to McGraw and other researchers of humor (which is apparently a thing and no one loving told us about it), if people don't feel safe and secure, then they won't laugh. And back during the early days of man, that is exactly what laughing was used for: to signal that the situation was under control.

Say our ancestors heard a rustle from the nearby bushes and one of them checked it out, only to find out it was just the wind. He would then laugh to tell everyone, "There are no tigers there, man, so chill." If he just said (or sang) it with a straight face, everyone would assume that he's lying to get a head start for the jungle as it feasted on the rest of the tribe. But with a "Ha ha ha, it was only Enlil, the wind god, loving with us," everyone could relax and go back to lice picking.

That kinda sounds like complete "Here's my theory and therefore I now believe it's a fact" BS.

Yeah it smacks of reaching a conclusion after the fact, but it's about the best you can do till we locate the laughter center of the brain or the laughter neurotransmitter. I will say the thing that separates funny from tragedy tends to be whether someone died/seriously injured (and even then, enough time seems to mitigate it).

Like, if I didn't know all the AFVs with kids getting catapulted over their bikes ended with the kids being okay, I don't think it would be as palatable a thing.

Perhaps I am underestimating the malice and spite out there though.

e: I guess whether it's someone's own drat fault affects it to. I.e. Darwin Awards.

An interesting case, I was loafing around online browsing the Darwins, when one comes up with some guy who thought it would be a good idea to disconnect mains power from his house with just a wrench. He fries to a crisp, gets a Darwin Award... but the page has a link to a chatlog where his family breaks the news to everyone. There's crying, wailing, 'it can't be true's, etc, and it's heartbreaking.

poo poo went from :buddy: to :smith: in a HUGE hurry.

Eternal Champions CD had some of the best fatalities in gaming, loved that poo poo. No idea if they were included in the Cart version though.

Edit - jesus christ I checked out X-Perts, that looks abysmal
