Interesting questions. Are your examples of embarrassing things actually funny? Or are they merely embarrassing things that have been labelled as 'Comedy' by people who don't find them embarrassing, or who think that others won't?
On the whole, if I find something embarrassing I don't find it funny, but I may well be on my own there.
It's a long time since I read any Bergson, but I remember thinking that his definition of comedy seemed very restrictive.
