[Closed] I feel slightly guilty laughing at this

Far tougher than the majority of us though.

But yes I struggled not to properly LOL in the office.

😆

that's how i walk when trying to impress a lady

Tend to agree with both of M_F's comments..... 😉

I reckon if they are stupid enough to want to do an ironman then they shouldn't mind being laughed at!

I had no sound - what happened, did someone spike their High-5 bottles?

I laughed in the office to which everyone else came to have a look and also laughed. Although its funny to watch fair play to them for still carrying on, I would probably wait for the broom wagon!

Seen this so many times but 1:42 to 1:45 never fails to crack me up.

I'll have to watch this later.

My approach, to paraphrase Dean Karnazes, would be: “If you can't run, then walk. And if you can't walk,... give up.”

I love the commentary..."their bodies obliterated....in a battle for 4th place"

Makes it even funnier that it wasn't for a race win 🙂

Middle-aged American attention whores.

I think one was acting

+1 for acting.

The 2nd one should have been DQ'd for receiving outside assistance crossing the line IMO 😉

You just know they're praying that somebody makes a movie out of this.

I shouldn't have laughed, but to be honest I coudn't help it!

Laughing at pain? Okay, I'm in. 😆

destroy you're body for a stupid race no one cares about, so cool

Laughter here to....

There's clearly something wrong with me. It's interesting, and shocking, and a little sad, and maybe awe-inspiring, but I fail to see the hilarity.

Yeah, I wondered about that too.

I quite often have dreams like this where my legs won't work and I have to crawl to get away from something. I say dreams, they are mild nightmares.

Cougar to replace Harry Hill as new presenter of You've Been Framed shocker!

I'm with cougar, sorry not funny.

i must admit to letting out a few s****s whilst watching that 😳

Don't get me wrong, I won't be angrily writing to the Daily Mail or starting a major leaflet campaign or anything, I just didn't find it funny.

You take that back!

😳

Taken back. My bad.

Sadly, there's some gutless sick a-holes who find this funny. Maybe they weren't tough enough to be a bully at kindergarten or something. 🙁

Give those competitors some credit for their courage.

Taken back. My bad.

Good god, you'll be likening me to Ricky Gervais next.

All those hours of training and punishing yourself, when the same effect can be achieved in a couple of hours with a bottle of whisky.

I kept a sraight face until 1:28sec when 'mummy long legs' walked into frame.
That did it for me still laughing just thinking about it.

Yes I am bad and I know it.

Honestly cant imagine myself ever being that Knackered. Maybe I just give-up to easy.

I assume your comments are toung in cheek.?

No one made them do it, There are no lives at stake.

Sorry no credit from me, not a jot, I will keep laughing.

I will save the credit for the more deserved to which there are lots.

Have to say I found myself laughing one minute and choking back the tears the next.
Guts, determination and perseverance. Impressive.

Yep,
Sorry me too.
I laughed, in fact the whole office did.

Well said Specialknees.

The only credit Im giving is for making the woman who sits next to me laugh, first time I seen that in 3 years.

Some people give that much effort because they have to to stay alive.
I will save my 'real credit' for those more worthy in this world.

Sorry, dead serious.

As far as I'm concerned laughing at people who are suffering is an activity for scum.

It doesn't matter why they are suffering.

Whaaaat??? That's not suffering! It's a selfish desire to beat someone at all costs to feel the glory and satisfaction of winning! FFS man, it's funny that a) if it's genuine, they're so hell-bent on crossing the line first that they'll allow themselves to look so stupid, or b) as is my suspicion, it's a couple of silly middle-aged yank women hamming it up for the crowd.

Laugh away! 😀

Well done that man.(shibboleth).

If I had the vocabulary Thats exactly what I would have said.

For me it stinks of ''selfish desire''.

No sound for me and small screen so Didnt really take in the American bit.
Now Im really laughing.

It was their choice to continue suffering, unless, of course, someone had kidnapped their children and were threatening to shoot them unless they finished.

Yes they were gutsy, determined, stupid? or whatever you want to call it but at the end of the day John Cleese would have been proud of some of those moves.

I could understand your indignation if someone had asked if it had been a qualifier for the paralympics...............but no-one did and it wasn't!

at 1.14 did she shit herself? 😯

Yeeewww!!! sorry, didn't find it funny either.

I think you are out numbered on this one.

Watching the news yesterday I saw a father, hands in bandages carrying the coffin of his youngest child. If i recall correctly his three other children and wife died in the same fire.

THE LOOK ON HIS FACE WAS ONE OF SUFFERING. Your interpretation of the word 'suffering' is wrong.

I was full of admiration for that man, its a horrible comparison I know but you really do need to get into the real world and save your pity for those that deserve it.

...you really do need to get into the real world and save your pity for those that deserve it.

Been in the real world, thanks, and it's sad that you think me being 'outnumbered' on this is relevant.

As you point out, there's various degrees of suffering. No degree of suffering is funny.

That clip was as hilarious as Tom Simpson falling off his bike and dying.

Jon1973 .. Just beat me to it 🙂

Give those competitors some credit for their courage.

I do. I couldn't do it. But I also laugh, because it's funny. They're in no way incompatible.

I sat with my feet up for ages the other night on here. When I got up the same happened to me.

I rule.
