It was sort of funny, but I don't think I got how funny in a certain way it was.
Also maybe something else emotionally; especially for those some years older than me bc those who paid attention knew he'd been a horrible dicator quite longer than I did.

So it was maybe: a confirming almost subconscious relief: Yes, he's still dead. The real life boogeyman is gone! Hallelujah, lol, yes!!!
Yeah...maybe that's it; deeply relieved laughter.

I hope that makes sense.
