Assignment Details

Write a brief 3 pages paper analyzing the philosophy and psychology of humor seen in an example of pop-culture comedy.  You may use a scene from a movie, an episode from a comedy television program (any vintage) or a routine from a stand-up comedian.

Based on your example and analysis, develop at least TWO discussion questions that will require critical thinking.

Important Tips

·         This is not a movie review or a summary of a TV plot; you should spend no more than a short paragraph describing the scene or episode you are analyzing.  Make certain your paper is at least 2-3 pages long, not counting the cover sheet (if used) or references.

·         Identify and briefly describe one or more examples of a spontaneous type of humor as discussed Chapter 1 of the Martin text.

·         Present an academic analysis of how philosophers might argue two or more competing theories of humor in your example.

·         Briefly analyze how your example relates to what we have learned in prior units about stereotypes, humor in the workplace or other topics.

·         Your project paper should demonstrate analytical, interdisciplinary and integrative writing.

·         Do not waste words or space in discussing how popular the movie or TV show is, or critiquing the actors.

·         Use the questions in our course discussion threads as examples when you develop the questions for your classmates.

·         Your discussion questions should require critical thinking, analytical, and interdisciplinary answers from your classmates.
