"Do you remember the snotty girl who used to make fun of you? I heard through the grapevine that she had three kids by different guys and is currently dating another loser. I'm schadenfriending her today on Facebook so I can see her karmic smackdown."

Nicky: "Schadenfruede, what's that, some sort of Nazi word?"

Gary Coleman: "Yep, it's German for 'Happiness at the misfortune of others!'"

Nicky: "'Happiness at the misfortune of others', that IS German!"
Gary Coleman: Right now you'r down and out, and feelin' really crappy.

N: I'll say.

Gary Coleman: And when I see how sad you are, it sorta makes me... HAP-PY...!!!

Nicky: HAPPY?!

Gary Coleman: Sorry Nicky, human nature, nothin' I can do. It's Schadenfruede, makin' me feel glad that I'm not you!

Nicky: Well that's not very nice, Gary!

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.

A friend who is obviously inferior to you in every way and you keep to lift your self esteem. Portmanteau of schadenfruede and friend.
I only hang out with him so I can feel better about myself. He is my schadenfriend.

The joy one feels when bad things happen to other people.

or

The act of deriving pleasure from someone else's misfortune.

Orgin = German: Schaden, damage (from Middle High German schade, from Old High German scado) + Freude, joy (from Middle High German vreude, from Old High German frewida, from fr, happy).
An sense of schadenfreude came over me as I watched a Chevy Suburban with a "W" bumpersticker pull into a gas station advertising $3.89 per gallon.

German for unanticipated delight in the suffering of another which is cognized as trivial and/or appropriate.

Simply it is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.
They got a good laugh out of watching the waitress trip and fall while carrying a huge tray of food. That is schadenfreude.
