Question
LOL do you thing guy's getting hit in there testicles is funny? I think it's really funny. MY boyfriend just says they show to much of that on comedies there is nothing funny about it. What do you think?

Answer
sorry...i'm with your boyfriend.

it's done too often, i.e.  relied on for comic relief.    it's too easy a sight gag, and besides...if you've ever experienced THAT pain?  nothing funny about it.  i'm all for slapstick, but i don't think that qualifies.

aren't you glad you asked?

I know funny. My husband knows slapstick. between the two of us, we know most of the funny movies and who stars/directed them. we`re particularly fond of movie bloopers, and can recite verbatim from films like caddyshack, meatballs, animal house etc. huge bill murray fans, as well as robin williams and steve martin.
