FYW-Why Are You Laughing?

I have never watched the movie Superbad but I do know the scene that is talked about in the blog. This scene is popular on Twitter and other social media platforms because this is such an iconic movie. I can clearly tell that Superbad must be a funny movie solely from the "attempt to buy alcohol" scene. I can also tell how the two boys are trying so hard to seem cool by buying alcohol for the party they were invited to. I think it is so funny how they expect their friend, who looks 13, to buy them alcohol, not to mention the fact that his fake id says McLovin as his name. When "McLovin" goes to the cashier it is amusing that he is so scared because of the superiority theory. The audience knows what he is about to do is so dumb and he is definitely going to get caught. This makes it so much funnier that he is trying to be confident while making small talk but in reality, he is shaking and very nervous. The incongruity in the scene is also prevalent. One incongruity...

Tom and Jerry is one of the best shows I used to watch as a kid! I was actually obsessed! Of course, the show is a perfect example of the incongruity theory because Jerry (the mouse) always manages to escape Tom (the cat). It is also funny because of the fact that Jerry uses things like bombs, guns, and dynamite to avoid Tom at all costs. Even though Tom is clearly being attacked in any way possible, he still tries so hard to catch Jerry. I feel like the episode you describe at the beginning of the second paragraph was a good choice because I feel like it portrays the show as a whole very well. I never had thought about the importance of the fact that Tom and Jerry only uses music and sound effects and I agree that this is an important aspect of the show because it displays the era it was created in. Anyway, I did not know that this show came out in the 1940s. I cannot believe that you can still see Tom and Jerry running on TV and that it is even so well known. I am very glad it be...

I have never seen the movie Deadpool but I have heard it is very funny. I am a big Ryan Reynolds fan so I have no problem believing that this movie is great. I enjoy how you explain that Deadpool is such a big hit because of the fact that it is a superhero movie and a comedy rolled into one. Because you, Katie, explained what happens in the movie I feel like I am better able to follow along when you explain the benign violation and the incongruity in this lead blog post. I agree with the fact that you think one of the best parts of the movie is Deadpool's sense of humor. I have seen clips and/or memes from this movie that have been very funny. I think it is an interesting aspect of the movie that Deadpool talks directly to the viewers. I feel like this is pretty uncommon with large movies like this but I think that it makes the movie sort of more appealing because the viewers feel more included. After watching the "Maximum Effort" Highway Scene, I now think this is a much...
