Gentlemen, you should both blow that GIF up, and view it frame-by frame.

There is nothing even remotely humorous about that poor fellow's demise!

I thought it was fake: it looked like the guy disappeared in midair and a red baseball cap appeared halfway down.

Everyone's life serves a purpose, if only as a cautionary tale for others.

I think you don't understand why a sense of humor evolved as a factor in human survival. Very often humor is pleasure in foreseeing a disaster that can be averted by recognizing the situation for what it is, e.g. don't climb a utility pole carrying energized high-tension transmission lines. I can, however, see how living in MA could dull the sense of humor of even the most stalwart Texan.
