Pseudo Bulbar Affect

[Perknose]

This --PSA? -- came on the tube while I was otherwise engaged. It caught my eye, and at first I kept waiting for it to reveal itself as a comedic parody.

It never did.

Wot tha . . .

I've seen it in the last year. One of the folks who went camping had been a stroke victim, and he was in the middle of telling this story and just started crying. The story did have some emotional content, but you could see that his emotional reaction did not match it at all.
He kept telling his story through it all. It was bizarre.
Then I see that commercial and the lightbulb goes on.

I just saw the commercial today.

At first I was all like LOL but then I burst out in tears when I realized I probably had a disease.

During my reading of your post, I couldn't stop laughing.

I myself laughed until I cried.
