I was basically the only person to never cry to something like Ash turning to stone in that pokemon movie and actually laughing at depressing scenes in The Color Purple. Infact I watch horror movies to laugh at the victims getting slaughtered. I was a big fan of Happy Tree Friends which most people thought was disturbing especially since I was still in the single digit age range when I saw it.
The only horror movie that bothered me was Jeepers Creepers.
Most comedies I don't laugh to, I find most TV sitcoms to be insulting my intelligence such as Two and A Half Men.

I don't laugh at funny movies, but I do cry at sad ones.

there are relatively few movie comedies that make me :lmao: but there are a number of movies that make me somber at least. notables comedies for me would be-

*freebie and the bean
*smokey and the bandit
*it's a mad mad mad mad world
*star trek IV [yes, it was a comedy sci-fi flick]

not many to choose from. but the sad/somber/disturbing flicks-

*the yearling
*madame butterfly
*AI-Artificial Intelligence
*what dreams may come
*seconds....
*silent running
*contact
too many others to list here

I don't like horror movies because the story line is so shallow, the pretense so obvious, and the horror is neadlessly gruesome. Oh, and the people getting killed are just so dumb, blind, stupid, deaf, stupid, stupid, and stupid.

The ring scared me, I couldn't sleep that night.

And as you say, commodies are insulting.

I can laugh myself silly at parodies though.

I don't remember myself crying because of a scene from a cartoon.
I laugh at many funny scenes (I don't roll on the floor laughing :P ). Even I laugh at horror movies.

I don't watch many intense horror movies. I do enjoy watching those thrilling sort of horrors, but I don't like the depressing sort, like ones with morbid deaths in, say, from a nuclear bomb. That just disturbs me and makes me worry more about inevitable things like nuclear bombs.

I do cry a lot of films, even if nobody dies. I always get emotional at the film ''Because of Winn Dixie'', even at the end when it ends happily. Also I cry every time at ''My Girl'' when Thomas J dies and the other character's reactions to it.
And I cried at the end of ''Grampa'' by Raymond Briggs when I first watched it, and I was only 3 at the time. It's just so sad that I cannot watch the ending any more.

I love watching British comedies like ''Bottom'' and ''Absolutely Fabulous''. I love the things the say and the insults they give out at each other, and even sometimes their body language makes me laugh.

Yes I think I do mostly react normally to films.

I laugh at the poor plots of horror movies (and other types of movies) if I do watch any. I tend to pay attention to unimportant details of the movie and laugh at/criticize them. I get so bored when I watch a movie and so haven't watched one for years. The fact that all movies/tv dramas are fake and are made by producers/actors etc puts me off. And that idea is always somewhere in my mind when I watch any movie/tv drama etc.

However, for some reason I do enjoy reading fictions (mostly horror and mystery).

I'm never scared by horror movies. I rarely find myself laughing at comedy movies, although I do like standup shows.
