1. Frequently
I would even say typically.

I would still help them, but I would laugh.

I always do.

No matter how horrible it is.

It's always funny.

Even if it's me.

3. Yes, I have, and there are some people who's misfortune I would gladly
laugh myself sick over.

My former co-worker (from Hell), who finally quit to deliver pizza and was fired from that job a few months later for sexual harrassment of a post-operative transgender co-worker. (He told her she should have had them do her face when they did the rest of her). JackAss! BWHA!!!:D

4. i would and i have
wouldn't you if that person had done something really terrible to you or someone you cared abt?

i know a chick who almost certainly molested my friend's baby and for a cold stone fact stole $50,000 of another friend's money

eventually her crimes caught up w. her and she went to jail for embezzlement, did i laugh, yes i did

i guess i'm a terrible person but at least i'm an honest one

9. Isn't that what the Daily Show basically is?
:shrug: Colbert Report, too...

"disembowlment is on the table with a nice Pico de Gallo..."
"We invited you and you never came! We waited all weekend! We made PAELLA!"
"Why would anyone trapped in a Kafkaesque nightmare with no forseeable end commit suicide?"
"Today's forecast is shrapnel with a chance of AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Just sayin...
