i have this weakness.

When the president of the company reams my boss a new one,

... i laugh, and laugh, and laugh.

so, in the interest of enlightening my audience
since none of us ever get to Broadway:

Schadenfreude, from Avenue Q.

GARY COLEMAN:Right now you are down and out and feeling really crappy
NICKY: I'll say.
GARY COLEMAN:And when I see how sad you are
It sort of makes me... Happy!
NICKY: Happy?!
GARY COLEMAN: Sorry, Nicky, human nature - Nothing I can do!
It's... Schadenfreude! Making me feel glad that I'm not you.
NICKY: Well that's not very nice, Gary!
GARY COLEMAN: I didn't say it was nice! But everybody does it!
D'ja ever clap when a waitress falls
and drops a tray of glasses?
NICKY: Yeah...
GARY COLEMAN: And ain't it fun to watch figure skaters
falling on their asses?
NICKY: Sure!
GARY COLEMAN: And don'tcha feel all warm and cozy,
Watching people out in the rain!
NICKY: You bet!
GARY COLEMAN: That's...
GARY AND NICKY: Schadenfreude!
GARY COLEMAN: People taking pleasure in your pain!
NICKY: Oh, Schadenfreude, huh? What's that, some kinda Nazi word?
GARY COLEMAN: Yup! It's German for "happiness
at the misfortune of others!"
NICKY: "Happiness at the misfortune of others." That is German!
Watching a vegetarian being told she just ate chicken
GARY COLEMAN: Or watching a frat boy realize just what he put his dick in!
NICKY: Being on the elevator when somebody shouts "Hold the door!"
GARY AND NICKY: "No!!!" Schadenfreude!
GARY COLEMAN: "Fuck you lady, that's what stairs are for!"
NICKY: Ooh, how about... Straight-A students getting Bs?
GARY COLEMAN: Exes getting STDs!
NICKY: Waking doormen from their naps!
GARY COLEMAN: Watching tourists reading maps!
NICKY: Football players getting tackled!
GARY COLEMAN: CEOs getting shackled!
NICKY: Watching actors never reach
GARY AND NICKY: The ending of their oscar speech!
Schadenfreude! Schadenfreude! Schadenfreude! Schadenfreude!
GARY COLEMAN:
The world needs people like you and me
who've been knocked around by fate.
'Cause when people see us, they don't want to be us,
and that makes them feel great.
NICKY: Sure! We provide a vital service to society!
GARY AND NICKY: You and me! Schadenfreude!
Making the world a better place...
Making the world a better place...
Making the world a better place... To be!
GARY COLEMAN: S-C-H-A-D-E-N-F-R-E-U-D-E!

Also, Avenue Q apparently has muppets. here is their website, with more muppets. "It may not be appropriate for young children because AVENUE Q addresses issues like sex, drinking, and surfing the web for porn."

does "muppet sex" make anyone else think of marshmallows, or was i really the only person on the planet to get that forward?

Waiting to see what my newest search terms are gonna be...
