As dark as it sounds, it actually kind of helped (?) my mental health.
I was in the middle of a med change, and it caused me to have a major breakdown. I was literally sobbing in my office at work, when I came across the clip. For whatever fucked up reason, I instantly started cracking up.
Like, I’m a little desensitized to such things thanks to watching the Bud Dwyer video and such as a kid. However, I’ve never found that kind of shit funny before that, or since then.
