Is there one that makes fun of cutting Tits off?
Or hysterectomies?
No, I guess not, because those are serious topic...
A scientist I know who worked with a lot of radioisotopes, including one that tends to seek testicular tissue got testicular cancer, and had one removed.
We always said he gave his right nut for science.

sepak takraw!
The first female video (which I still thought was good) nevertheless plays to the slightly pathetic theme "people without breast cancer just don't understand, even the women".
It was different than humor exploring one's own neurotic reaction, which the female stand-up did.
Would it add anything to this thread if I were to observe the second was more, ahem, "butch"?
Yeah. Same goes for prostate cancer (speaking from experience).
So, guys! - don't be shy about getting that PSA blood test and a DRE poke after age 40.
The Drill SGT: Obviously, you didn't play the Tig Nagano one.
"Whose side are you on?" Actually, a question many of us ask about our bodies (and brains!).

Perhaps I have limited experience. My mother and two sister-in-laws failed to find the humor in it.
Seems to me that anything deadly that takes a long time to kill is going to generate some humor. If something were killing you suddenly, like in the next minute, you might not get around to the humor perspective -- a la Mercurio in "Romeo & Juliet." But if it took months, how could you not?
If I get a terminal illness, I'm definitely making jokes about it. There's no better time. People are obligated to laugh.
