Again, an exchange from Avenue Q seems appropriate here:

I think it’s fine to find humor in anything at all. What’s wrong is […] to allow your enjoyment of the misfortune to become known to others who wouldn’t appreciate it.

And this is only wrong if they don’t take it well. Or have you never seen somebody join in the laughter at their own misfortune?
If it’s wrong, explain the phenomenal success of America’s Funniest Videos.

Will everyone think less of me when I confess that I laughed at this sentence?

Yeah I did 
but that and Eddie Murphy’s thing isn’t real. You’d have to be one sick fuck to laugh at the genuine scenes in Faces of Death.
I meant to quote jayjay.

Hence the “wouldn’t appreciate it” part.
When my Uncle’s son was young and not yet totally stable with the whole walking process, occasionally he would fall over. The first few times, the son would looked shocked and look up at his parents, getting ready to cry, but then they would smile and laugh like falling down was a funny thing. From then on whenever my cousin got a boo boo he laughed instead of crying.

We’ve always done kinda the same thing with thunderstorms. We act like they’re really exciting, like fireworks, and our young boys have never been scared of them.
