Re: I'll have a pint of what this guy had...
I know this video is meant to be funny, and this is my first controversial post, so i might get a barrage, but this kinda sums up what is wrong in the world..I am not sure who is worse, the piss head or the guy recording him, laughing his ass off while he stumbles into the road...

So what would you find funny: the way, or the things, people say; people walking (sober) into a lampost; doesn't all humour come from laughing at someone else's misfortune?

I like to think not. Sometimes it comes from juxtaposing the unexpected, or even from wit. A dying art form of course, but that's not my fault.

I like to see pompous twats (there ya go Mandy! 
) making fools of themselves. I don't like to see some poor sod's misfortune.

I love un-pc humour. Like Chris Rock and his "The one time white people can say Nigga":

I can see why people would find the drunk kid funny, but having worked with street kids for years, many of whom had substance abuse problems, it just makes me feel sad.

Even the drunk found it funny at 1 point.
I personally like it when the guy hides behind his dash board when the drunk looks in his direction, as if the drunk could even see that far.

Re: I'll have a pint of what this guy had...
One Christmas I was not having a good time of it and I happened upon the film "Bad Santa" on TV.
It would be hard to find a more un-PC move, but I laughed so hard (especially at the really un-PC bits) I was very nearly wet at both ends!
This is real life, though, so I appreciate it has serious undertones that strike a chord with some people.
I'm not sure I could put boundaries for others on what is OK to laugh at, but for me when it is possible the person could get hurt, (like when the drunk falls into the road) then it's time to stop laughing and help them.
