Have you ever asked yourself Why It's So Hilarious to See Other Guys Get Kicked In the Balls? Well, this Men's Health article tries to get to the bottom of it.
Choice quote:
Distance plays a part in your glee as well, notes Dr. Shuster. It’s kind of why you’re more likely to crack up when you see a guy get whacked in the balls on TV or YouTube than you would if the guy walking next to you takes a hit to his undercarriage. That depersonalizes us from the experience and lends a sense of safety to the viewer. So you’re allowed to laugh at the “other” and not worry that your own balls are at risk.Well, Dr. Shuster, I'm not quite sure that this is true for everybody. I'd be willing to take a bet to say that most of us would crack up if the guy walking next to us took a hit to his undercarriage just as well...
Nevertheless it's an interesting read.
