If there's other set up and the slap stick is used as some sort of irony or resolution to that set up, it can be funny to me. Slapstick where it's just "oh, ha ha, he got hit in the head" isn't funny to me, at all. And that's a huge chunk of the humor in Home Alone. --- "She was like, 'Oh, did you see that firefighter? Hes so cute.' And I was like, Mom, I just got blown up." <cite>WafflehouseJK posted [p:914706662] in Unpopular ...
