Schadenfreude

Basically, that feeling you get watching America's Funniest Home Videos(or a similar show). You're feeling glad that you're not someone experiencing pain. The opposite of sympathy.

Watching someone get stacked(hit in the crotch) and either laughing or cringing. That's Schadenfreude.
