Did anyone find it difficult to watch the scene where Marv steps on a nail?

That scene used to make me flinch when I was little.

No. But I've never stepped on one. Frankly what makes that scene funny is that Marv doesn't think about the fact the stairs are covered in tar and that he doesn't even notice he stepped on a nail til looking down. Years ago when it first came to VHS in 1991, I had a friend who hated the part where Marv got smashed in the face with an Iron cause he had a little brother who had burned his hand on an Iron.

Yep!!! The fact that it seems to go a good half-inch into his foot- yikes!

Yeah, but I flinch more when he's climbing through the window and steps on the ornaments.
