The funniest internet trends and memes create a community in the comments where the audience can come together to talk about how the posts made them feel. The comment section is a social space where the readers can meet people with similar tastes in humor to them, as well as learn about how a meme can be interpreted by others. For example, in the past week a video surfaced of a young boy yodeling in the isles of a Walmart Supermarket. This video was received with much love and affection. People…

In the play Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare, the setting entails a prattling town called Messina where how a person is described is everything to each other. The citizens of the town however have a different sense of what reputation is than those who are only passing through. In the play Shakespeare creates a character named Leonato who cares where he is on the social class, and this negates the beliefs of Don John, a selfish character that focuses on his ominous plan.

The issue at hand is regarding constitutional protection for satire and parody. Can a satirical publication ever face legal culpability for printing false information – could they be sued for defamation? First, it is important to define satire and parody. Satire is “the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people’s stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues” (cite). Parody involves the manipulation of…

There are gaps in every character's story, there is always space to add more. In season 3, episode 6, "These Delicate and Dark Obsessions," is slightly a filler episode. This doesn't mean it's not entertaining. I find it enjoyable when other villains banter and bicker with each other. The interaction between Oswald Cobblepot and Ivy Pepper brought a moment of campy humour to this otherwise dark series. "Not drinking pine-cone juice with a crazy-pine-cone lady! "So build an army, no one's…

“Humor is mankind's greatest blessing” (Mark Twain). The controversy, however, is within how humor is conveyed or perceived to be. Alain De Botton, a philosophical writer, deems that humorists hold “impunity” in their messages that underlie their humor; impunity is something exempt from punishment. I consider that humor is used to veil the serious meaning that is proven such in political cartoons and the article “Humor conveys ‘Me No Terrorist’s’ serious message” (Elder). Conversely, people may…

Comedians contribute to society in various ways, the jokes they present to the world does not only cause laughter but can also prove points. express ideas, and opinions. Religion, politics, personal issues- these are the topics that we have been taught to never talk about despite the…

In ancient Greece, the ideal of comedy was mainly formed from the idea of "this couldn't happen." This form was used in the play, "Lysistrata", to illustrate this point. Such ideas were the sexual content, women as leaders, and a female controlled society. As mentioned above, the ancient Greeks see the impossible as comedic and as a result, the abovementioned elements of the play to be comedic too, because in that time those ideas were unimaginable. As a comparison, here and now, we may not…

Irony is a literary technique where the usage of language expresses that something is the opposite of what one expects; it may be used for a humorous effect. There are three types of irony; there is verbal, situational, and dramatic irony. Verbal irony is when an author’s stated meaning differs from the actual meaning, situational irony is when a different situation occurs than what is expected, and dramatic irony is when the audience knows more information that the characters do. In the story…

Humor is inevitable, it is around us every day and few people take the time to consider why we laugh. Darwin had theorizes about the social role of laughter, making suggestions that certain vocal expressions most often linked to internal emotional states may also function as a way of influencing others. That is truly a fascinating theory to say because humor can be seen as a foundation to team building. The two professions we’ve been looking at are heavily dependent on their co-workers who act…
