Default Funny if performed on a conscious person.

I don't think these things are going too far, but it depends on who you do them on. If you do it on a highly conscious person or someone with a good sense of humor, then they'd be so funny. I think it's too bad that some people get mad when you are just trying to make them laugh.

I think the box thing is funny too. The only time it wouldn't be funny is if you actually gave someone a heart attack from the shock. But otherwise, I think people that would get mad at you just take life too seriously.

In general, I think it is a huge problem that most people take life too seriously. I do comedy myself, so I can relate to people that are just trying to be funny. Sometimes some people think something is hilarious and others think it's offensive. It's impossible to please everyone.

I thought I'd just add what my own reactions would probably be. If someone did the box thing on me, I'd probably shake their hand and congratulate them for their courage. If someone did the elevator thing, I'd shake their hand and tell them that it's fine that I was the victim, but be careful on who they do it to.

Also, I think it was interesting that the girls in the elevator were more concerned about saving themselves than anything else.
