why would it be wrong to laugh at this? The this is america original video is pure entertainment, disguised as something meaningful while it is not (highly pretentious) and another song which is also pure entertainment is edited in.
It didn't make me laugh because i see no 'deeper meaning' or 'taboo' in the original video. To me it's just a pretentious acting bit, mixed with another song. The key in comedy about horrible things, is that these horrible things are real atrocities. For example, when Norm Macdonalds youtube talkshow was still online i laughed my ass off at holocaust and concentration camp jokes.
This video is well done, i am surprised the timing of the music fits the video so perfectly which is a pretty great discovery from the creator, but funny? Not really.
