Response to Phebe's post

I agree but also disagree about what Phebe said: laughter cures things. I agree on the part that laughing at things will make it better or more positive, but it doesn't always fix it. I would say that laughing at things is better than not laughing at things because when you laugh, you feel more positive about situations and it just releases good feelings. I can't imagine a world with out humor or laughing, it honestly would suck. But its not about my opinion. Actually it is because this is my blog... so I think that laughter can cure some things but not all things.

Response to Kirby's blog

I agree with what Kirby said about how you laugh at your best friends when they have an accident. Nothing entertains me more than watching people suffer with embarrassment. Even when I myself am embarrassed or have an accident, I still think that it is hilarious. I think that it is true about how if your best friend fell over on his bike then you would laugh, where as if you saw some random person on there bike and fall then you would be sure the person is ok first then laugh about it later on when you are with your good friends and family. Ive learned in my life though, that when your mom falls down that you probably should not laugh at her. I did that one time and it was really awkward because she asked why I would laugh at her for getting hurt.

Response to Sarah's blog

I think Sarah's post about the Try Guys is absolutely stupid. I honestly wasted a good 10 minutes of my life because of her BS post... I am joking:)

I can make responses like this to Sarah and I feel like she will think its somewhat funny because we have the same sense of humor. I think that Try Guys is similar to one of my favorite shows, Impractical Jokers, because both are the characters are about 30 year old men that are just best friends and love making fools of themselves. I love comedy like that because I myself tend to make me look like a complete fool in front of people just to mess around and get some laughs with my friends. The famous saying "a friend will help you up when you fall, but a best friend will point and laugh at you." is very true, but you can tell that the person falling has a good sense of humor if he or she were to laugh at themselves for falling, unless the person is 90 years old because they would probably be hurt if they fell because there bones aren't as strong. Great job Sarah! I will see you in class tomorrow.

Response to Mary's Blog

I am a fan of Mary's post. Not only because I am a fan of Jimmy Fallon, but because everything that she said was accurate and easy to understand (if you have seen the show). What she said about how Fallon is able to bring commonplaces into his jokes was very accurate and never thought of by me. The reason why I enjoy watching the show is mainly because me or my parents get a good laugh because it is extremely relatable, as well as the fact that he makes fun of celebrities, which most of us love to hear. The letters that he writes on his show in my opinion are hysterical because it is similar to my sense of humor: sarcasm. Mary, you are the bomb and nailed it with your blog. 10/10.

Incongruity Theory

Have you ever noticed something very strange, and just thought, "Dang, this is extremely strange and against the norm." and then began to laugh? Well, my friends, you have experienced the most persuasive theory of comedy known as the Incongruity Theory. It basically states that we tend to laugh at things that we are not used to sensing. For example, if we saw a monkey driving a car, we would find it funny because we are not used to seeing monkey driving cars. There are two other theories that describe different types of comedy: Superiority and Relief. But, for this blog, I will show y'all a great video that will force you to always remember the Incongruity Theory, it's nuts.
