No, I personally find it a close second to the comedy of errors (which I just plain cannot watch or read, I instinctively curl up in a fetal position or storm out of the room upon exposure - being unjustly blamed is my biggest rage button by far).
The comedy of errors also makes me feel extremely uncomfortable, but I enjoy it anyway out of sheer masochism.
It must be played for laughs, however.
I have the same "problem". Though I could claim that it's a personality flaw in everyone else that allows them to enjoy watching the misfortune of others.
