Schadenfreude

[Tina]

Watching a vegetarian being told she just ate chicken
Or watching a frat boy realize just what he put his dick in
Being on the elevator when somebody shouts Hold the door!
Straight-A students getting Bs
Exes getting STDs
Waking doormen from their naps
Watching tourists reading maps
Football players getting tackled
CEOs getting shackled
Watching actors never reach the ending of their oscar speech!

In the behavioural sciences, Schadenfreude is the term for a euphoric affective state experienced in response to visual and auditory [stimuli] communicating others experiencing pain or suffering. The euphoric effect has been observed to be significantly elevated in females, primarily of Western origin, when [the suffering] is observed in males known to the test subject, with a strong [correlation] between the level of prior intimacy and intensity of the euphoria. Of particular note is the extreme degree to which other faculties may be impaired as the intensity of the euphoric state increases in the observer, in correlation to the increased suffering of the observed.
