    100 On The Street Analysis

    • 1038 Words
    • 5 Pages

    If you found $100 on the street, what would you do with it? If I found $100 just sitting on the street, the first thing I 'd do is probably look around for people searching for something, ask around maybe. However, if there was no one around, I 'd do what most people would do and pocket it. One hundred dollars isn 't a ridiculously large amount of money, (maybe to a teenager like me with nothing of necessity to pay for on a regular basis) but I 'd still save it. Ever since I was a kid, I was…

    The first of the three main theories of humor is the superiority theory. This theory can be basically understood by saying, “X is funny because it prompts apprehension of our superiority over others;” in other words, we laugh at something because we feel that we would handle the situation better. In Kingpin, the superiority theory explains moments of humor occurring when we – the audience - feel superior to Roy and Ishmael. When we see Roy after the destruction of his bowling career, we laugh…

    Madea On The Run Analysis

    • 757 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The play Madea On the Run was first and foremost highly entertaining. At almost every minute, there was some type of dialogue or action that made the audience laugh.

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…

Comedy is a very complex genre because many people react to humor differently - and what one person might find funny, another might not. Most often, comedy is about something that is considered universally funny, or about something related to our present day culture.
