Blog Response #8 - The Millers

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 person who knows the most bizarre rap and can say each word. It is evident in the facial expressions that they are so confused as to how he knows that song. This is an example of relief theory since it provides the audience a good laugh since smuggling drugs is very stressful. The third scene I thought was funny since her guesses were so far off. Also it was weird seeing Nick Offerman there because all I could think of was Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec. Also him being in nature really brought out the inner Ron Swanson in him. Each character in the movie had a seen where the rest of the cast just looked at them like they were crazy. I haven’t seen the movie in a while so I do not remember the plot too well, but the cast is so funny.

Blog response #5 - Hurricane Florence

Whenever there is a hurricane the memes that are created are so funny. During Hurricane Michael there were many funny memes created. My favorites were the ones with Michael Scott in the middle of the hurricane yelling or the one with Michael Jackson dancing in the center. I’m sure a new Twitter account was made and many of the same jokes were reused. It’s also kind of sad that these type of accounts are created because many people can be seriously affected by the hurricane. It is crazy to believe that accounts are created just for one hurricane that may not even last long. The tweets Madelyn described were very funny. I don’t have a Twitter so I miss out on funny new social media jokes. On Instagram I only see memes of the hurricane which I still find just as funny. People who are in the path of the hurricane (like we were) but weren’t affected I feel like could find more funny then those who actually got hit. It was also a joke that so many schools cancelled when the weather ended up...

Blog Response #7 - SNL

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 ...

Blog Response #11-- Impractical jokers

I used to watch impractical jokers when I was younger and always found what they did do be so stupid. I think the funniest part was not what they did but instead the reactions of the people they were messing with. I hated it when the people wouldn’t corporate or would realize what was going on because that would ruin the show. I often wonder how many takes is would take sometimes to get a prank right or how many people they would have to try it on for them to get the right one. If I was pranked I would not want it to be aired on the show because it is embarrassing to be pranked on such a popular show. The first example was funny because he played along with actually funny texts back. I agree that it is a good example of superiority theory because we are laughing at his ugly wig and how he had to walk up to that guy and make a fool of himself. Most of what the viewer cares about is how funny the prank is or how embarrassed they get. I don’t think most people feel bad for how embarrassin...
