I certainly do. A lot of the action makes me laugh, especially someone like Dean Ambrose or Cactus Jack, the more spontaneous brawler types. And they all make the best faces. I also notice little things like peoples' faces in the crowd or they'll be waving their sign to the beat of the theme music, there's just a lot of humor in wrestling to me.

When I'm watching with someone, because we can comment on the funny/absurd things...

Big Show made me laugh tonight when Roman crotched him on the top rope.

Not really. There's a lot of cringing though, especially if someone else is in the room.

Yes and not in an elitist way like I'm above it. I just love wrestling but I know fake wrestling is so fundamentally ridiculous and stupid I don't always take it seriously. It's the great thing about wrestling; one moment I can be marking out as Lesnar crushes some fool and almost believing it's real, the next laughing.
Last night when Big Show jumped head first into the table propped on the turnbuckle I busted our laughing because it looked so silly. That would never happen in real life, but it was great fun.
Sometimes rasslin is funny when it intends to be: Mankjnd in 98/99, Austin/Angle but most of the time it's comedy skits fail yet the product is unintentionally hilarious (UNDERTAKER TRIES TO EMBALM AUSTIN ALIVE BAH GAWD!). So yes I laugh a lot and still enjoy it despite how stupid it is. Other funny moments are wrestlers facial expressions, bad acting, bad angles and random things wrestlers say spontaneously (There's no bell to ring!)
I was going to make this thread today.

Of course I do. Wrestling is complete bullshit and that's my favourite thing about it. It is f***ing RIDICULOUS and I am constantly laughing while I watch, especially at my favourite heels.

Yea I laugh because at this point I don't watch wrestling as an invested person of a character or really even a storyline. Wrestling will always be male soap opera and you deal with the corny but you appreciate the athletes in the ring. When your with friends you just have a tendency to go what the hell was that and break out in laughter.

You have to, I think.
So much of what happens is so indefensibly ridiculous that if you didn't laugh, it'd just make you mad.
That doesn't mean you can't appreciate the good straight stuff in the same breath.

I've been watching the ppvs with my brother and occasionally we will come off with something jokingly.
Like just last night when Sheamus rubbed Dolph's face on his ass, my brother shouted "how's it taste mother f***er!?" Hilarity ensued

It's just...the genre itself makes it worth watching, it doesn't necessarily have to be good. And it's just really funny, intentionally and on accident.

I'll be 100% honest.
If you don't laugh every now and then while watching wrestling, I have no idea how you can watch this shit.

my friend and I laughed a lot during Sting vs HHH everything from the entrances to the finish was either ridiculous , awesome or both . I didn't even care for the finish cause it was like the 5th banana when it came to being ridiculous.

If the product isn't captivating, you better believe I am finding something in it to enjoy, whether it was the intended way to enjoy the show or not. If I can't even do that, that's the day the television screen goes off.

I certainly laughed out loud when I saw this. It was one of the maybe five times I've actually laughed out loud when seeing something on the internet There IS just something hilarious about The Truth Commission, isn't there?
