I laugh (in a shocked but expected sorta way) at the nature of the guy who at every turn goes out of his way to be evil, sad as it is for people, I guess it's got something to do with a cartoon character with a funny looking mustache up to some unthinkable wickedness that strikes me as humourous in a surreal sense. It's that or discomfort trying to process the pace of the video, as the torrent of his evil acts are divulged with such ease, one after the other, and as a way to process it all - similar to how people nervous laugh during traumatic stress as a coping mechanism.
