I agree that Baywatch incorporates all the theories. The movie is so funny because the actors are very talented at delivering their lines. They portray the stereotypical lifeguard very well by how they run in the slow motion. It is incredibly stupid, but still makes me laugh because hopefully lifeguards would not run in the slow motion since there are people to save. Even in the video when she is trying to save him from choking it’s in slow motion. This is superiority and incongruity theory because we are laughing not really because he is choking, but how the camera focus on her and not even the guy choking. This is incongruent since we would expect for him to be saved fast, but it was slowed down which is ironic because if you do not do it fast enough the person may die. The funniest parts to me throughout the movie are the tension between Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron. The nicknames Johnson calls Efron are funny because each one are probably what people think of when they see Zac Efr...

I agree that the Hangover movies are so funny. Honestly, just looking at Zach Galifianakis makes me laugh. The first clip when he has the baby attached to him makes me laugh because it’s so incongruent. Anything he does will just make it funnier. I don’t think Ed Helms is very funny because I find him annoying. I didn’t like his character on the Office and I think my perception of him carried on to the Hangover as being an annoying employee who is a kiss up. Often it’s weird to see famous actors who are in popular TV shows in popular movies. I always naturally associate them with the TV show they are in. The other actors and scenes are still funny, so I enjoy them. I love how the movie is so blunt and incongruent. Even though Alan makes most of the mistakes, it doesn’t get old. This is true due to the incongruence in how he doesn’t repeat what he said. Most of what he says is so idiotic that the audience is not expecting it. Also, he says things that could be seen as inappropriate, bu...

I agree that that the movie always keeps me laughing. It is weird for me to see Jennifer Aniston and Ed Helms in a movie together. It is like seeing Rachel from Friends and Andy from the Office in a movie which is very weird since they are totally different characters in completely opposite shows. It is also weird to see Emma Roberts because I saw her in another TV show so when I think of her my association goes to that. Usually big TV character’s may not get roles in movies since they could be heavily associated with their TV character. The first scene is funny when Helms has the bag on his head and acts really casual about it. He was so chill when the receptionist asked for what they wanted to drink and also how she didn’t even seem to question why he had a bag over his head. I agree that this is incongruent since we would expect for her to freak out and call the cops but of course, she does not since it is a movie. The second scene is my favorite one because everyone knows that one ...

Saturday Night Live is easily one of my favorite comedy shows. So many iconic quotes and skits have come from the show. Every time I watch the more cowbell skit I laugh just as much as I did the time before. I love when they bring in athletes to the skits because it’s funny how they so obviously look at the cue cards and can’t act very well. The athletes are clearly out of their comfort zone since on the court or the field they don't have to speak publicly unless they're in an interview. Kenan Thompson is one of my all time favorite cast members and his facial expressions are priceless. The two professional athletes presence are just funny because it’s two huge guys trying to do live comedy. Thompson makes it more comfortable and is able to get more laughs and make up for laughs the two athletes aren’t getting. I like how how both athletes argue over who plays the most intense sports. Just being a professional athlete in a sport is hard enough. When Thompson’s character chimes ...
