Why Do I Only Laugh at Things That Are Awful?

On a (somewhat) related note to my post from yesterday, the things I find to be funny frequently make me think that there is something seriously wrong with me. In general, I don't like "happy" things; they tend to annoy the shit out of me. Most things that the general population finds funny have absolutely no appeal to me. The only things I actually find myself laughing at are things that are; disturbing, depressing, incredibly stupid, incredibly inappropriate, just plain weird, or all of the above.

I laughed harder at this horrifying picture than I think I ever have at anything else in my life. 

A Tad Worrisome

I just finished watching Wilfred on Netflix today and I fucking loved it! Now normally I just cannot get into comedies. If I am going to become invested in a story it pretty much has to be intense, and depressing, and disturbing; otherwise I lose interest. So I was rather excited when this show turned out to be all of those things and completely hilarious at the same time. You know how I posted  a while back that I could only laugh at things that are awful? Well Wilfred is one of those things. There are always terrible things happening and they really shouldn't be funny but they are, they just so are.  Also, I find it a bit disconcerting how much I relate to the guy who spends all day talking to a dog, has no idea what in his life is real or imagined, and who may or may not be utterly insane......

I don't care if he's real or not, I would totally hang out with Wilfred. 

In Bad Taste

I think, for the most part, people tend to think that they have good taste. The average person looks at him or herself and thinks " Yeah, I like cool things." I'm fairly pleased with my taste in most things; my fashion sense, taste in music/movies/TV/etc. One thing that I believe I have very bad taste in though is humor. My sense of humor is god-awful. 90% of the things I think are hilariously funny, no one else thinks are the least bit amusing. Everything I laugh at is either dark, and morbid, and disturbing, and makes people look at me like I might be a serial killer; or is just completely, totally, utterly stupid.

^This. I have been laughing at this for three days. THREE DAYS! Every time I think about it, I can't help but laugh. This is a problem.
