Hey, some people loved Lenny Bruce ya know. He was the king of sick jokes. And I could see most people, if you pose it right, would die laughing.
When I was doing college work study a long long long time ago, we saw some government official from the state of Pennsylvania hold a press conference to talk to the media about how and why of his impending corruption scandal. He reached into a manilla envelop and pulled out a Colt Python, and the blew his brains out live at his press conference.
THe work study place I worked was the Audio Video for the college. THe regular guys who worked there saw that and had a bright idea. First they ran to the video rental store and rented a Warner Brothers cartoon series. So what they did was tape a kids show where the kids were shouting ans screaming in happy voices, and that show's MC said good answer. THen they took the suicide tape and added the kids show, the Porky Pig, That's All Folks to the end, and put a few extra times of him pulling the trigger because it looked like he shot himself with a machine gun, and the guy's hair was flying in the breeze, where the bullet came out. BY the time we got done with it, it was hilarious. But then I felt really bad about finding it hilarious, and have remembered it to this day because of that.
So yeah, some people would think a simple pimp beating down his ho quite amusing.
