Dude. That's not funny. That's just horribly sad. How would you like it if Americans showed one of your national tragedies down played by an old early nineties sitcom character dancing on top of it?
I didn't say that's funny.
The point is to make him laugh. I'm not sure if you noticed, but laughter and being funny are kinda synonymous.
