Vicariousness: Poor fish, he looks scared silly.
I got this one from a Tool song of the same name and, like the band, it is quite complicated but better for being so. I guess the level of humour that can be derived it from depends on the actions or feelings in question and in the song this is people dying. Not so funny. However if the action is the ultimate in comedy moments, i.e. slapping someone round the face with a wet fish, then obviously the experience of imagining doing this can cause great hilarity. Not so funny if you imagine the feelings of the one being slapped though. No-one would ever be vicarious towards the fish though. Poor fish.
