Writing is something I greatly enjoy, Kim. As written, your sentence,
without the reference to others, basically says "it's a pretty near given
that I would find anything like the death of someone else "hilarious.""
Clearly, something else is needed to change that to fit your intent (for
example, "...I would NOT find..."). With your reference to others, the
missing "neither" is necessary (the basic "neither/nor" grammar rule, as in
"neither I nor others would find").
