Great combination of sadness and dark humor. Damn good idea, too.

Modern Britain . I feel sometimes i might see this in the newspaper for real

I believe it is mostly in the punchline, where the person describing the incident says "He wanted to jump 40 times off a first-floor balcony instead of straight off the top, in case he wanted to change his mind at any point"
The joke is that in jumping fourty times instead of straight off the top, he basically made it even more painful. But the real comedy is in the fact that someone commiting suicide actually thought of an idea like that.

Can't find the DVD in Canada..
the thing is, hebrewschoolgrad, this doesn't do anything but take suicide and suicidal feelings very seriously indeed. This is how it feels, believe me. It's all in the punch-line, the real punch in the stomach that is the last line. "Clearly he didn't."

What is brilliant about this is that it weaves so many delicate strands of thought and emotion together. The man, although wanting to end his life, still gives himself a chance to live again through his method of suicide. However, even in this sad, bizarre situation, people help him back up the stairs to the floor, just the slightest addition of dark humour. Then finally, the concluding line "Clearly he didn't" portrays the man's ultimate sadness in life. This should be watched by all.
