Is getting hit in the gonads funny?
2004-04-25, 8:39 AM #1
I will start the thread by quoting the official Massassi Temple IRC chatroom:

Quote:
<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2"><Kroko> Asp, if you had a gun on my head, would you pull the trigger?

<Blood_Asp> no, i'd kick you in the balls and shoot beer bottles with the gun

<Kroko> I would like that, because that would spare my life.

<Blood_Asp> yeah, but it would still provide for some good laughter

<Kroko> Well, the question is, would I laugh with you?

<The-Jin|The-Pie> i think i would laugh if kroko was kicked in the man tackle.

<Kroko> [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif].

<The-Jin|The-Pie> don't take it to heart, krok. i'd laugh if *I* was kicked in the man tackle.

<Kroko> [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif].

<Blood_Asp> i laughed last time i got nailed in the balls

<Blood_Asp> i threw a worm on a girl's shoulder and she freaked out and BLAM

<Blood_Asp> and i kept laughing... but it hurt [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif]

<SithGhost> hmm last time I got kicked in the balls i doubled over in pain and everyone else laughed

<Nikumubeki> lol

<SithGhost> well I was actually kicked

<SithGhost> "nailed" would be a better word I guess

<Blood_Asp> yeah i got a fist to the balls...

<SithGhost> ouch

<Kroko> I don't really find it funny at all.

<SithGhost> a girl kicked a soccer ball about 5 to 10 feet away and it hit me in the balls

<SithGhost> which made it sort of embarresing...

<SithGhost> yeah, it's not really funny when it happens

<Kroko> It can cause serious physical harm.

<SithGhost> aye, a man can die from getting hit in the balls too hard

<Kroko> So I never laugh when it happens to someone.

<Kroko> Yeah.

<SithGhost> that queesy feeling is no fun

<Blood_Asp> i laugh

<Blood_Asp> it's funny</font>


The big question is: is it funny, and why?

I do not find it funny, as is evident in what I have quoted from the chatroom.

Thank you, Mr., Mrs., and Ms. Massassian.

Like most things, it's funnier when it happens to other people. It's not funny when it happens to YOU, because it's one of the few things that brings tears to male eyes.

One the subject of is gitting hit in the nuts funny...

I think it pretty much goes like this..

If you never been hit in the jewels (hard), you'll find it funny when it happens to some one else.

But if you have, when you see it's any thing but funny..

I don't know. I don't spontaneously burst into laughter when someone gets kicked in the crotch.

It's probably not funny, but when it happens (which it hasn't for a while now) all I can think about is Homer going "but Football in the Groin had a football in the groin!"

And then there's that guy who said "ah, me groin!"

I got kicked square in the nuts in karate class once. I was about 13 years old and I was sparing with a 16 year old. It's doubtful I'll be able to have kids.

Yeah, how's this for odd? My parents haven't been the least bit interested in my love-life my entire life, and now that prom is soon my Dad all of a sudden seems concerned that if I don't find a date and go it will mean I'm a social failure.
I don't get it... I accepted that fact a long time ago, why is he just now realizing it?

I don't think it's the funny and it's kinda stupid when we walk down the hallway of the school and people for the hell of hit walk up to a friend and give him one to the groin, then they have a laugh about it while the person who was hit recovers and then tries to hit the orginal attacker in the groin.

It's REALLY dumb to see 14-18 year old's hit each other in the nads all day

I got hit in my special spot with a door knob once. A door knob that was still attatched to the door.

I'm sorry for being so misleading. I meant if it's funny when it happens to another person. If you find it funny to get hit in the gonads yourself, well, that's okay and you can tell about it, but it just makes you kind of special.

Be glad it was a knob and not one of those damn levers.
Hit in nads + a twist and sometimes a pinch != funny.

Sourcery, right? Oh, and it's not funny (except in the example citied above, and then its not really the crotch-hitting that is funny. I also cringe when someone gets hit there.

depends on the situation, if you are just screwing around with friends it hurts like a female dog but it is still funny. but if you are hit in the balls out of andger it isn't funny. but just general screwing around it is funny, but then i guess me and my friends get kicks out of hurting ourselves so maybe we don't count......
