The first time that someone asked me to go see the movie Deadpool I was apprehensive. Then I learned that Ryan Reynolds played the main character, Deadpool, and I was no longer as apprehensive. I’m all about action movies, but I would take a chick flick over action any day. Although I was apprehensive to see the movie at the beginning, once I got into the movie I could not stop laughing. It was nice to see a superhero movie integrate humor throughout the duration of the scenes. Usually there is only one specific scene that is funny in superhero movies, but Deadpool breaks that stereotype. I really enjoyed Katiemarie’s blog post over the different themes that run throughout the movie. I particularly liked how she discussed the incongruity in Deadpool . I thought the movie was well rounded with a good spread of incongruity throughout. The part of Deadpool that I really enjoy, that Katiemarie also discussed, was how Deadpool’s character uses the camera to connect with the viewers. He b...

I’ve never heard of the television show The Good Place before reading Abi’s blog post, but it seems interesting. It is definitely a different concept than a type of show that I would normally revert to watching but it seems funny. I find it interesting that the show is based off the good place meaning heaven but in reality the cast has been sent to the bad place meaning hell. The concept seems kind of terrifying because that is what some individuals are scared about, being sent to hell, and here is a television show poking fun at it. All of the senses mentioned in Abi’s post seemed funny to me, but the two in particular that I enjoyed were, the first scene involving Jason, and the second sense with Jane. I found the first scene particularly funny for two reasons. The first because Jason is begging for his life but in reality he is already dead. Although death is not a funny topic, the fact that Jason is so caught up in not dying when he already has remains funny. Along with the fact th...

I love how Nikoleta used vines for her lead blog post. Although I was not a vine expert at the time when vine was popular, nor am I now, I can still appreciate the classics. I love how the phenomenon of vine started when vine ultimately died. There are certain groups of individuals who can have entire conversations with only using vines, which leaves anyone who does not understand the vine culture in a state of confusion, but inherently becomes funny. Most vine experts of our generation would love to show any individual their favorite vine at any given moment. I also enjoyed reading the part of Nikoleta’s blog post where she described how successful some viners have become due to their short fame on the app. It remains incredible that so many individuals in today’s age used this small green app to launch their entire life, some without even knowing it. Although vine is undoubtedly hilarious so are the spin offs of vines. The success that Demetrius Harmon and Angelo Zeigler have had due...

To be honest I had never heard of the movie “The Big Lebowski” before and ending up watching the trailer to receive more context behind the movie, and to my surprise really enjoying it. Usually I tend to stick to more romantic comedy movies, but I will definitely have to watch this entire movie sometimes. I really enjoyed Zach’s blog post on the movie and how I could feel his personality throughout the languages he used. I find it hilarious how the movie is based around a man who is confused with another man because I’m sure many people have had this instance happen to them. Or, at least could relate to the mix up of it. I really liked the point that Zach made about how in the movie they used the words “like” and “well” because it allowed viewers to make a personal connection to the movie. So many individuals use “like” and “well” as fillers when they are less educated, or simply trying to fill space so it makes the movie more relatable, and therefore funny. I can see by just watchin...
