Emphasis added. This isn't Amy sharing about how much of a mess she was/is with other sober people (honestly the actual "Rehab" song has a number of red flags about her quasi-denial of her own addiction, which is sort of heartbreaking considering how talented she is) . The youtube thing is a parody about how funny full-blown addicts act when they're all f'd up or how much crack they use. In that context I do not find the video funny at all.

She thinks she isn't an addict! Ha, ha, we know better, she really is an addict, look how messed up she is, let's point and laugh, ha ha ha! She's going to kill herself, ha ha ha! Look at those needle marks on her arm, oh, her denial is so funny, she's shooting heroin again, ha ha ha!

The line between fair game and bad taste isn't in HD.
