Precisely. Fun Has a bland, innocent connotation and implies, to me at least, some degree of organisation.

No such scheme could ever compare to seeing someone fall over, or watching a huge drunken argument unfold over absolutely nothing and admiring the fall out . It only stops being fun if it turns violent.
