Does Benny Hill Cure Sadness?

I don't think Benny Hill was funny but there is a theory about that his theme tune when applied appropriately can stop you from feeling sad.  So Dan from All That Goes With It thought he would test out this idea using the film that many have said is the most tear jerking of all. 

Now I'm easily manipulated, I'll weep like a baby at a dog food commercial if they put in the right amount of pathos.  So I reckon I'm a pretty good test subject and I can safely say I sat there without even the start of a bottom lip tremble, in fact I may have sniggered once or twice.
