schadenfreude 

The feeling of pleasure gathered from watching the suffering of another human being.

Remember the enormous pleasure you got watching dad get kicked in the nuts on AFHV in the 80s, or ogling any fat asshole in the world dancing in bikini briefs or redneck on a crotch rocket who smashes his face in on the old log next to the "swimmin' hole" near his dilapidated shack on YouTube? That's schadenfreude... It's what makes you human... Or a very bad person.

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.

schadenfreude 

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.

Schadenfreude 

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.
