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. The witty and sometimes insulting humor between the characters created banter throughout the play that was easily enjoyable.

His article, “Discover Your House,” is so saturated with jokes that at a first glance, one may feel as if his purpose was simply to make them laugh; it seems as if it provides no real objective. This, however, is his unforeseen genius. Dissecting his prose wit by quip unfolds how Barry 's uniquely…

Bakhtin considered Dostoyevsky’s The Idiot one of the vivid manifestations of carnivalisation in literature, where such elements of carnival culture as ambivalence of the situations and events, fantastic and bizarre mixture of people in one place, and the notion of carnival reduced laughter begin shaping literary work through its mode of narration, structure and characters.
