Of course I’ve watched plenty of those shows, like America’s Funniest Home Videos, etc. I never, ever found any videos funny in those shows where it looked like someone might have gotten hurt. Not adults, nor children. I had too much empathy I guess? Clips where something funny happened like a crazy ball bounce or someone said something funny — those I liked.
I’m guessing you never watched Caught on Camera or whatever your local version was called in the 90s?
Kids doing stupid shit and getting mildly hurt was 90% of that tv show.
