    Comedy Critique

    Goethe’s Faust and Voltaire’s Candide were two of the most interesting books that I have ever read! Both comedies were very different from each other in many ways. The structure of both books varied significantly. I enjoyed Candide more than Faust partially due to the structure. I found that because Faust almost entirely rhymed that it was harder to follow. It was very distracting to me and I felt as if the rhyming took away from the story. Candide was told more like a story and I found it easier to follow because of this.…

    Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour: Documentary Analysis

    In Smothered: The Censorship Struggles of the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, an appeal to pathos and factual evidence are utilized to achieve Maureen Muldaur’s purpose of displaying how the Smothers Brothers were a groundbreaking aspect of American society and didn’t need to be as strongly censored. Throughout the documentary, Muldaur films key parts of the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour that are very funny and emotional, like songs they sung about sons being drafted into war and gun laws. Connecting the issues of the time, especially with the sheer amount of them going on, to their show aides the appeal to pathos. The audience is already thinking about these issues, and adding humor to them on the show creates an emotional attachment to the Brothers’ show. Maureen Muldaur…

    Catch 22 Humor Analysis

    Heller utilizes comedic satire throughout the entirety of Catch-22. Rather than blatantly stating all of the horror that war brings about, Heller uses humorous and ironic stories to convey what he clearly feels are almost laughable instances. Doc Daneeka’s “death" is a perfect example of utilizing humor to express an almost unbelievable truth. Because of his fear of flight (which is ironic, considering he is the flight surgeon), Yossarian convinces McWatt to log his name while never actually flying. During one flight, while Doc Daneeka remain on the ground (although he was accounted for as being on the flight), McWatt flies too low and kills Kid Sampson. Out of grief, McWatt commits suicide by flying into a mountain. Doc Daneeka, presumably…

    Amusing Ourselves To Death Postman Analysis

    Is a “Fox News Alert” a piece of vital information that must be adhered to immediately or just a metaphor for another piece of trivia, useless information? Before the invention of the telegraph in the mid-nineteenth century, not only would a minor news alert be impossible but also “the news of the day”. America, in colonial times and then on through to the middle twentieth century, when television would come to dominate the as the preferred medium of information, America was submerged in a culture dominated by the influence of the printed word. As Neil Postman writes in Amusing Ourselves to Death, in the chapters “Typographic America” and “The Typographic Mind”, he explores the influence of a print-based culture in the realms of education, religion, and politics.…

    Parks And Recreation Analysis

    Because the series revolves around the problems of the government, it is not very relatable for most members of the middle-class; yet the interactions that are found within the common workplace are displayed when the Parks Department employees discuss their work, co-workers, and personal lives. The fact that the show even delves into the characters’ personal matters shows that a connection is trying to be established between the viewers and the characters. Breakups, family, and new friendships are things that most people experience and can easily relate to. Knowing this, it can be said that the writers of the show are very aware of their audience and how they will react to the show’s plot, another element of Realism. Parks and Recreation inserts many current issues such as gay marriage, gotcha journalism, political affair scandals, sex education, obesity, and the role of women in politics into controversial circumstances. These topics are included in the show to spark conversation and interest on the subject. These issues, along with other events in the show, are conveyed in a highly comical manner. Councilman Dexhart’s sex scandal is completely shocking, as “when [the babysitter] was in the delivery room, [he] had sex with not one, but four nurses in a supply office…as well as a woman whose husband was getting a liver transplant” (“Christmas Scandal”). Although this is a satiric play on political scandals,…
