Under any other circumstance we would never laugh at someone who was in severe pain!

How often were you hit?

Actually, your humerus shouldn't be anywhere near your testicles.

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 00:57 (seventeen years ago) link

It's funny because it's not me.

Comeuppance. It's all about comeuppance.

Have you ever been near or in a junior high? Or seen America's Funniest Home Videos?

Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.

In seriousness, I think it's something about the way men are supposed to be sort of tough and not easy to faze, but they happen to have this one hidden weak spot by which they can be completely incapacitated.

Also that face we make and the way we double over.

Hitting a man in the testicles is not considered humorous.

Watching a man get hit in the testicles -- preferably via a completely unexpected, improbable accident -- is considered humorous.

― nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 01:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Or, well, it's not the watching that's humorous, but you know what I mean.

― nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 01:55 (seventeen years ago) link

just reading this thread title made me laugh!
and yeah watching people i dont care about get hurt is hilarious

(also when someone gets hit in the testicles they are usually doing something dumb and so kind of deserve it)

― webber (webber), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 01:58 (seventeen years ago) link

This is why Mel Brooks doesn't say "Comedy is when you GET PUSHED into an open sewer and die."

I was once nailed right on the tip by a spiraling, perfectly tossed football from about 30 yards away. Even I was laughing, as I was crying.

I have no idea how I've survived the almost uncountable assaults on my genitalia through the years. I think I survived, at least. I should get tested.

Your search - "hitting a woman in the testicles" - did not match any documents.

I was once nailed right on the tip by a spiraling, perfectly tossed football from about 30 yards away. Even I was laughing, as I was crying.

7th grade, recess, went up for a perfect interception but came down on the intended receiver's shoulder, albeit with the ball. Rolled in the grass moaning and laughing (it WAS pretty funny) for 20 minutes. Gingerly trod into the bathroom later to discover a livid purple bruise on my dick. When I finally showed up in class, the teacher asked me why I was late and the guys in class all sniggered while I explained to her that I had hurt myself. Fuckers.

Did Homer(ous, or no -ous) ever make a rhyme about a man being hit in teh testiculi, me wonders... Such a, like, classic theme after all.

― tiit (tiit), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 19:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Poor Moleman. Nobody's gay for Moleman.

I've gotten in many a drunken game of "bag tag" with some of my closest homiez. It can be a bonding experience!

― daniel striped tiger (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 19:12 (seventeen years ago) link

We will not be friends.

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 19:59 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm cool with that.

― daniel striped tiger (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 20:00 (seventeen years ago) link

I am trying to think of a context in which the phrase "bag tag" isn't horrifying, and it's not working.

Hitting a man in the testicles with your chin is not humorous at all.

Michael White plays... FOOTBALL?!

One time at Crew (local gay sports bar) I saw a guy PUNCH his friend in the balls on 4 seperate sneak attacks. It was HILARIOUS.

― GEAUX BEARS. (unclejessjess), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 20:18 (seventeen years ago) link

"his friend"

― Aimless (Aimless), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 20:30 (seventeen years ago) link

if it wasn't a friend he wouldn't have been able to do it twice, let alone FOUR times.

― chicago kevin (chicago kevin), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 20:33 (seventeen years ago) link

I would say "his dupe".

Michael White plays... FOOTBALL?!

Despite the fact that my enthusiasm for watching it has waned, I played American football almost every day from the age of about 8 to the age of around 13.

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 20:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Or maybe "his ho".

― Aimless (Aimless), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 20:42 (seventeen years ago) link

It was especially funny because the puncher was sitting on a bar stool and the punchee kept coming back without guarding his junk. Plus the fact that the puncher would gave no warning, looking at the TV and sipping his beer while reaching back to land a punch on the guy who stood behind him, in conversation with someone else. And then he went, "Oh my GAWD! I am soooo sorry! How could I have --" and then punch or smack him again.

All that story says to me is that one person needs to make a bad end in a dark alley, and the other is too stupid to come in out of the rain.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 20:48 (seventeen years ago) link

It was very entertaining to watch. One of the guys was an off-duty bartender who I am in love with (he looks like a hot Ron Howard).

This is all much funnier if it is George C. Scott being hit in the testicles.

― Aimless (Aimless), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 20:54 (seventeen years ago) link

I have to admit, I would laugh at the repeated nut-punching. But I'd probably have a twinge of sympathy pain. I guess the anxiety of seeing someone else's nuts get battered only means more compulsive laughter?

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 21:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Laughter comes in many flavors. It is not always a response to perceived humor. [/sententious obvioussness]

No we would not laugh at someone in pain, you people are bring up TV shoes and such. But let's say you were walking down the street and saw someone having a heart attack, would you laugh? Now if you saw someone getting hit in the nuts would you laugh?

― Taggart (Ancroid), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 23:41 (seventeen years ago) link

This is why I always wear a cup.

Miguelito, how come you weren't wearing a cup, when you had your football-related bruised penis injury?

― Zachary S (Zach S), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 00:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I would have stabbed this motherfucker to death.

If I'd been the one getting punched, I mean. If I had been present, I would merely have handed the guy a suitable knife.

― Candy: tastes like chicken, if chicken was a candy. (Austin, Still), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 00:58 (seventeen years ago) link

I agree. Booting a girl in her vag is way funnier cause it's so taboo. Or punching her in her tits even!

― kumkum (daddy warbuxx), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 01:13 (seventeen years ago) link

It's the face and the sound of someone getting hit that makes it so great! Ooohf! You know when Gary Larson does pursed lips or whistling dudes?? It's always that face. Ooohf!!

― paizuri-san (davidcorp), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 09:57 (seventeen years ago) link

And when it's a missile, rather than a fist, there's something about the perfect arc of the path to the target. Like the groin is magnetic.

― paizuri-san (davidcorp), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 10:03 (seventeen years ago) link

1. Five in The Pink, FIVE in the STiNk!
5 up, 23 down

When a girl (normally your little sister)bends over and sticks her young plump ass in the air. She scoots her knees close to her elbows and puts her face in the dirt while you and your friends take turns punching her in the anus and vagina simultaeneously. Best if done with an in/out piston like motion.

Double fisted whammy fucker. I tried it for the first time in Iceland.

FX reran the King of the Hill episode where Bobby runs around kicking everyone in the nads. 'Twas hilarious (except for Hank cooling his beaten junk with ice cream - ew).
