When we see Roy after the destruction of his bowling career, we laugh…

The witty and sometimes insulting humor between the characters created banter throughout the play that was easily enjoyable. At some parts they would comment on someone else’s size, love life, or give them a humorously stern lecture about hard truths, and that dialogue was really fun to watch. The other entertaining moments I liked…

Both campaigns had similar products that were almost a necessity for men who shaved. Their campaigns were a lot alike when it came to humor. They caught consumers attention by using humor. They drew customers in with their wild humor and their bold colors. Burma's campaign used poetry for their humor while Dollar Shave Club used gallant humor.

This, however, is his unforeseen genius. Dissecting his…
