I can't stand idiotic humor

I'm sorry to the creators of 40 year-old Virgin, Hot Fuzz, and most recently Just Go With It. It was ridiculous and to think that millions of viewers are falling out of their seats, laughing hysterically baffles me. I just do not think that it is funny watching people be in awkward situations, or go through unnecessary pain, emotional or physical. In fact, it makes me cringe and I have to look away because it is just too awkward of a situation, or I would die of humiliation if something of similar effect were to happen to me, i.e. if I were a hairy man getting my chest waxed in front of my so-called buddies, OR watching a sad old hag pop one of her implants and then go through the disturbing...scene when her plastic surgeon puts numbing cream on her nipples, and then proceed to flick and pull at her nipples, asking 'Can you feel that?' I'm just watching these movies, staring aghast, practically disgusted, wondering what could be appealing about this type of 'humor'? I can only label this type of comedy as 'idiotic humor,' for lack of a better term. I know that many, many, MANY people out there enjoy these types of comedies, mostly males. I can understand a young boy, not quite mature, maybe one who still has nap time at school, enjoying idiotic humor and choking on guffaws. When it is someone who is in their 20s, or even late teens, I can't quite understand what could be so funny. Maybe guys just like to laugh at stupid things. Yep, it's true and most will even admit it. The more juvenile the humor, the heartier the laughter. When I witness it, I will still have a facial expression with a question mark on it, and partially one of disgust.
