I don’t mind a pratfall, but when somebody appears to be significantly hurt (like a car accident as you mention), I don’t find it entertaining or appropriate material for this kind of thread. I’m not familiar with Ridiculousness or All Fails, so I don’t know what’s there.

Enjoying watching people significantly hurt is sadistic as far as I’m concerned. That’s what I’m not interested in seeing and I’m asking widebody911 to not post those here. I’m thinking we’re really not in disagreement here.

In all fairness I agree with you Steve. If someone is being a good sport about something that happened, laughing at themselves if you will, I see no harm in it. The organized meanness or repetition of something that's painful or intended to demean and bully tracks right along with an overall decrease of civility. When we stop seeing each other as beings, we're giving in to the call of a lower form of humor that's easy and doesn't require thought. Which is the apex of a slippery slope.

One man's opinion. With a pic.

Can someone fix this thread so pictures that have already been posted can not be posted again?


BTW this was the lunchbox I had in 2nd grade. I found the pic of it online.

Do I want to see someone get hurt in a horrific car accident? of course not...

Do I laugh out loud when a drunk person falls off a balcony, flattens a card table, rolls off the end and slides down into a swimming pool? Heck yes I do!!!

I have several channels I watch daily for that humor.. (like the small kids above.. that made me chuckle..) Does that make me sadistic? Geez.. I have empathy for a lot of those video clips, but most of them are still pretty darn funny..

Sometimes, when it's due to stupidity, it's hard not to laugh.

This isn't bad


But there's another one where a (drunk) guy gets a running start, and dives like superman. He makes it almost all of the way down before he catches himself

...with his face.

Not dead. At the time, I saw pics on a website, his face had many parallel red marks. He was surprisingly intact and in good spirits. There was a fair amount of blood. Because of the blood, I won't post the GIF here.

I'm sure you will continue to post these, and I'm sure I'll have to put you on ignore. I'm sorry, but I find this a little sick.

Who’s holding a gun to your head making you watch the ‘random pictures’ thread?

It isn’t named the ‘appropriate and safe’ pictures thread.


There are quite a lot of other places you could spend your time online if you are highly sensitive.

I'm not the only one who has objected to these videos, Clapper. As you suggested, there are plenty of places YOU can go to satisfy your need to see other people injured. Maybe just ask yourself why you find that kind of thing enjoyable and why everyone here needs to be subjected to it.

Back to random pics.

Looks like a Type 3 with a sunroof

[DanielDudley]

Is that supposed to be funny? It just comes off as rude.

[pavulon]

Is that guy hurt?

I see your point about injurious pics and .gifs (BTW, gifs are not supposed to be posted in "Random Pics") but I've seen worse. Know that it will be watched and evaluated.

We have a thread just for GIFS now......

Random animated Gif thread

Let's see if it actually helps.

Short lived Briggs with the flywheel and stuff on the bottom to help with vibration and quiet it down. It worked quite well but manufacturers didnt want to modify the deck design to accomodate it. It was recalled (I forget why) so extremely rare
