This four year old toe-headed little kid just tried to take a lick off his single scoop cone, and the whole scoop fell onto the sidewalk. How funny is that?

I don't usually do spelling corrections, but it is "tow-headed" and means a child with hair like "tow"--an old word that means "flax," from which we get linen. Most of us have never seen flax, but it looks like the kind of super-fine, ultra-blonde hair that some children have.

It is funny, but also sad. Where is he going to get more Ice Cream? We need to help him.

HOW funny, hmmm... mildly amusing at most, for a four year old - mostly sad ... for a fourteen (or more) year old, who should know better control by now, it would be hilarious ... for a 104 year old, we're back to mildly amusing at most - mostly sad.

Laughing at another person's misfortune is not good. If it were me, I would buy him another one. What harm would it do you to be kind?

how funny is it. . . . hmm . . .. about as funny as your dad hanging out of the back of you. . .

This is exactly the kind of things my cat is laughing about. Schadenfreude.

"A New York Times article in 2002 cited a number of scientific studies of schadenfreude, which it defined as "delighting in others' misfortune." Many such studies are based on social comparison theory, the idea that when people around us have bad luck, we look better to ourselves. Some studies have shown that people with low self-esteem are more likely to feel schadenfreude than are people who have high self-esteem."

I don't have Schadenfreude, my self-esteem is too high.
;-)

it is not funny. it is very sad.poor kid,he was probably so upset,I hope he got a new one.

dont worry. im not going to lecture you. i think its hilarious! my best friend would smack me for saying its funny not sad, but shes not here right now, so... i will however mention in passing that this is certainly not a why question so it probably shouldnt be in the why section. maybe you should try asking why we think its funny or not. then it would be ok.

as funny as you big guy!

lol that is hilarious but kinda sad too :-P I guess I would have laughed and then done that 'awww' thing...of course, only if the kid burst into tears, if they threw a bratty fit I would probably think it served them right anyways.

Did you save the icecream?
