I watched the trailer and a few scenes from  Jennifer's Body , and I have to say I find the movie to be hilarious. At first, I was a little confused because the film seemed to be a horror film, but as I continued to watch I began to see how funny Jennifer was. She comes up with very quick, humorous one-liners that keep the audience laughing because it comes out of  nowhere . In one scene for instance, Chip stabs Jennifer and she begins to gush blood, as I watched the  scene,  I was expecting Jennifer to either attack Needy or die, but instead she turns to Needy and goes “You got a tampon?”. The incongruity theory can be seen here because this comment is so unexpected. No one would think someone who just got stabbed to ask for a tampon to try and stop  themselves  from bleeding out. The benign theory can  be  seen here as well because her comment is just a little inappropriate, but not enough to make people  uncomfortable . Another scene that ...

Lead Blogpost- Superbad

Superbad is by far one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. If you have not  watched  it, you are seriously missing out. I have never met a single person who did not enjoy watching the hilariously awkward group of boys carry out their last couple weeks of high school. Superbad is a classic story about two inseparable friends, Seth and Evan, who have known each other since the beginning. The two of them are not exactly considered the “cool people”. In fact, they are the complete opposite. They are  painfully uncomfortable  and the most cringe-worthy, but comical things happen to them. The movie is centered around how the two of them g e t invited to a huge party  by Seth’s crush,  Jules,  and  he offers to bring alcohol . They spend most of the movie trying to buy alcohol because they think that if they bring it, they will  impress the  girls  that they like .  In an attempt to  try and  get  alcohol, they ...

When I think  of Tom and Jerry, thoughts of my  childhood  immediately flood back. I will never forget sitting  in my  family room watching show after show with my brother. The two of them were so entertaining with  their   mischievous  ways and hilarious fights. Each episode is filled with the two of them battling it out as Tom tries to defeat Jerry, and the little mouse  somehow  always manages to escape him. Some of the funniest scenes from the series is when Tom tries to destroy Jerry; however, in the process of trying to catch the mouse Tom brings defeat upon himself. The scenes are countless of when this occurs. In  one episode,  Tom is chasing Jerry around the kitchen trying to catch him, and as a result, a lady slams the broom into Tom’s head to get him to  stop  and knocks him out allowing Jerry  to  escape. Another instance when this occurs in the television series is when Tom tries to kill Jerry w...

Deadpo o l  is such a clas sic. That movie is by far one of the funniest films I have ever  watched,  and Ryan Reynolds’ portrayal of the main  character  is epic. Every scene is filled with his dry, sarcastic comments that just keep everyone laughing until their stomach hurts. Each theory of humor can be seen throughout the  entirety  of the movie, but there is one scene  in particular that  I want to focus on. In this scene Deadpool is trying to fight off Colossus, a huge metal guy that is extremely strong. Every time Deadpool goes to punch him, his hand breaks so he then resorts to kicking him. Which of course breaks his foot. Colossus is  undefeatable  and ends up putting Deadpool in handcuffs. Deadpool decides to cut his hand off to get out of the handcuffs since he can heal very  quickly,  and Colossus is left with a  sawed-off  hand that is flicking him off. This scene is very funny because Deadpool contin...

The Good Place  is  anothe r series that I have never seen, let alone heard of, which kind of surprises me because there  are  some very  well-known   actress  in the comedy show. After watching a  few  famous clips from the show, I can very  clearly  see why Abi chose to write about The Good Place . It has very funny scenes filled with the incongruous and relief theory, as well as the superiority theory. One scene  in particular that  I would like to point out that is  prevalent  with the theories is a scene with Eleanor, the ring leader of the  other humans. In this scene she is talking to  Jason Mendoza, one of main characters in the series. In the clip, Jason asks if  Eleanor  would like to see his bud hole; however, because he has an accent, it sounds like he is asking her if she wants to see his butthole. He continues to explain that that it is very messy furthering her thinking that he ...

Just like Kaitlin, I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Christmas season, and if I am being  honest,  I have already been listening to Christmas music and wearing Christmas socks. Christmas is by far my favorite holiday, and I end up celebrating it two or three months in advance. One movie that is always on my watchlist and is  essential  when it comes to this time of the year is the movie  Elf , so I was very excited to see that  Kaitlin  chose to write about it. Every scene is filled with humorous accounts of Buddy and his life as an elf. If you are six years old or even seventy-five, it will make you laugh without a doubt, as well as fall in love with the main character Buddy. There  are  so many scenes that stick out in my mind  that  are filled with each comedy theory that we have discussed in class, and the ones  Kaitlin  mentions about Buddy screaming “Santa” in the store and the burping scene are great examp...

When I first realized  Nikoleta  was writing about vine, I got very excited.  Nikoleta’s  description of how Vine got popular after it was cancelled is the exact  experience  I had with it. I never had an account and never really heard of or watched any Vines while it was around; however, the minute Vine died, I felt like I heard about it everywhere. Because of the new craze surrounding Vine after it was gone, I had to see what all the hype was about. I began to  see  videos all over my Twitter feed, Instagram feed, and on the internet. It was like I could not escape it, but I enjoyed every video I came across. They were so hilarious and extremely relatable; I did not understand why I just now found interest in Vine, but I guess I am just like every other person and do not catch interest in something until everyone is talking about it.  One video that I found especially funny that  Nikolata  pointed out was “The First Time Some...
