BOO! Accuracy in SNL Halloween Skit
Well... if anyone has quite the personality in our class it's Olivia! My good buddy Olivia decided to do her lead blog post on the SNL Girls Halloween skit. I was pretty unamused up until the point where the one girl threw up on the pizza... I think I laughed however because I experienced something rather similar last night and could help but chuckle about the situation. I truly believe the skit is accurate to real life Halloweens... I get to have the lovely experience this year... it has been rough ahhahaha haaaaaaaaaaaaa...... *cries* But regardless I believed I laughed at this skit because of superiority theory. I also laughed at the end when the actress were like I'm so glad it was a girls night, because they basically addressed the all to popular fact that no matter how bad it got they are going to end up doing it all over again. So I believe it was funny to people who have experienced something similar. I was rather unamused by everything else.
SWEET BABY JESUS...Talidaega Nights
HELLO! BLOG READERS OF THE WORLD!!! Sorry, I haven't posted in a bit it has truly been hectic in life and what not. And to professor Herron ( the man who grades my assignments), I am sorry. The next three posts will be of the blogs that I haven't responded to.
So let me begin!
Matthew, the child in my class who either has some pretty stellar socks or not, decided to do his lead blog post on the prayer scene from Talidagea Nights. In the scene, Will Ferrell plays the character of the race car driver Ricky Bobby, who at dinner, takes it upon himself to say grace. Matthew came from the angle that the scene shows how unnecessary prayer is what is making the scene funny. And to an extent, I think that observation is accurate. I mean they scene definitely pokes fun at religion. But what I think was really the deciding factor of the humor was how the wife did not oppose the absurdity of the prayer except for when she took note of how her beloved kept demeaning Jesus by only referring to Him as a sweet baby. I thought that was very interesting and that pretty much stemmed the rest of the humor throughout the scene.

Little details make a difference
My good friend Whittney made a very well done blog post on her favorite YouTuber. The post itself mentioned how the Youtuber is effective at capturing the audience's attention by making her topics "relatable to the common person. However, she mentioned n her post a very important detail. She said that the editing done by the performer helped create a faster and comical enviroment and i thought that was important.

I can not watch the office
I literally can not watch this show... I cringe every time I watch the show. And I get it its supposed to be funny. I am not sure if it is because the humor is so dry or if it is because I tend to be an empathetic person. For some reason, I can not handle awkward situations between characters or when feelings are hurt. The clip in the office is making fun of the serious process of cpr and it intertwines it with the beegies... It bothered me and that is my response

Sorry Isaac
Well, there definitely many many different types of humor in the world. For myself, in particular, I enjoy a good witty thinking comedy, usually something that doesn't place the character in an awkward or uncomfortable setting. I am a person who tends to feel bad for people in awkward situations, therefore I seriously have a hard time laughing. When I read my friend's blog post that analyzed the comedy in a clip from step brothers I, in all honesty, did not really laugh. He did a great job dissecting the types of theories however I just didn't really see what was all that funny. Although I will admit, I did laugh during the long fart that one of the characters let loose in the last job interview... So sorry Isaac that I didn't find your topic particularly funny.
