Not at all. I was horrified when she tried to RAPE her own mother

Comical is good. That is something going for it.

I can see that some of this was humorous but I don't feel it because I found Erika's situation and the events that befall very distressing. Her mother, perfectly played by Anne Giradot, was funny at points because she was so ridiculous but ridiculous in a ghastly way that I might laugh at to protect myself from the horror of her rapacious possession of her daughter.

I thought the whole feel of the movie was just sad.
How sad Erika is. How pathetic she is. How sad her life is.
I guess it's all about how you read the film personally.

There are people that, when uncomfortable with something, star laughing. I am one of those people, no doubt - and yes I did laugh at some parts but mostly because of Huppert's genius performance and moments that were just too strange. Maybe many people that replied to this comment are of this kind.

No one has mentioned the scene in the drive-in movie where she gets busted peeping at the couple in the car. This was the only really hilarious moment in the film, though there were a lot of other places where I found myself laughing rather nervously.

I laughed when the mother got thrown into the room. how sad throwing her that hard, but

Maybe it's been mentioned already, but in an interview Haneke clearly said that some scenes were intended to be humorous.

It was the mother who made it funny. And i think many of the scenes between Erika and Walter were supposed to be blackly humorous. And yeah i laughed when the mother got put in the room the second time and she said "this is unbelievable".

Yeah I thought this movie was hilarious I found myself laughing quite a bit a very enjoyable film.

Yes. There is obviously a lot of dark humor here.

I thought it was funny in a shocking "wtf" way

One funny line was the mother's. At the first recital, before the meal. After she's been shown all the stuff by the host she comes back and goes "I had to sing for my supper." I laughed out loud at that.

Yes I thought it was a rip roaring barrel of laughs, that's for sureparticularly the part where she vomits after he's laid on top of her with his dk down her throat. I'm sure there's plenty of women out there who felt like vomiting after a guy has stuck his ck in her mouthyippy yi yay ya'llnow you know how most women really feel about it and it's there in all it's glory for all to see!
A lot of alliteration from anxious anchors placed in powerful posts!

The 'funnyness' comes out when observing how 'the amant' is becoming increasingly exasperated with the behavior of his 'beloved'. When looking at her in isolation her actions are chilling (well, except for the sniffing of the spunked tissues in the pornbooth).
Most hilarious though, was her untimely escape over the ice with her skirt on her ankles, that was priceless
In this sense Haneke fully succeeded in his intention to make the viewer feel uneasy with his own reactions to the experiences of the main characters. Especially the end scene, when she is stabbing herself is pure horror. It is to the credit of the marvelous actress Isabelle Huppert that Haneke pulled of this script.

when he reads the letter , that was funny , the level of it is , funny. How uncomfortable this cocky man is and the understanding that this woman is completely gar gar.

I thought some parts were funny, like when he was reading the letter.
Some velvet morning when I'm straight

I didn't think it was funny at all - I did find a certain dignity (and sadness, yes) in Huppert's character at the end when she stabs herself. She does it with such assurance and conviction. It was almost as though she was saying, "I'll destroy myself before I ever give you the opportunity to destroy me first!"

It did make me laugh as well. I spent several minutes throughout the film giggling to myself and going "wtf? she's a loony!"
It wasn't really disturbing to me either, probably because I'm used to Japanese horror films and I've read stuff like Justine by de Sade and The Story of O, so none of it was completely new. One thing that was interesting was its display of what's sort of the same effect as in the Stanford prison experiment, and how easily 'normal' people can slip into the role of abuser, given the right conditions. So it was interesting, but it was also very, very funny in places.
