    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…

    Conan O’Brien’s show is better. The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon is not bad, but it has the same type of jokes that have been told on that show for years. The jokes get a little repetitive after awhile. Fallon has to stay with those jokes because he wants to stay true to the character the show has had for years. Conan’s show is more original because he started it instead of taking over for someone else.…

    Dave Chappelle Satire

    • 1076 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Dave Chappelle's comedy has made numerous aspects of American race relations and racial stereotypes subject to ridicule in a manner that has both united and divided. On one hand, his name became synonymous with comedy for the younger generations; on the other, his values caused him to question his own comedy, leading him to effectively terminate his career. “In the Wake of 'The Nigger Pixie': Dave Chappelle and the Politics of Crossover Comedy” by Bambi Haggins demonstrates that Chappelle's comedic style is the result of numerous elements of comedy in the African American community coming together and that it came about as a result of his experiences. It gives and expands upon the reasons that Chappelle left Chappelle's Show and presents them in an optimal setting. Chappelle's roots are established as guiding him through his comedic career, his desire to share his comedy with the masses without accommodating the tastes of the networks or what they would think would be “palatable” to their audiences. Haggins' analysis of Chappelle's comedic style for the duration of Chappelle's Show explains how Chappelle was able to blend older styles of African American comedy into his unique comedic style by using his sketches to support her claims. Haggins knows how to blend this mixture artfully into an essay piquing the interest of others on the topic of Chappelle's career and comedic style.…

    Tyler Perry (born Emmitt Perry, Jr.; September 13, 1969) is an American actor, director, screenwriter, playwright, producer, author, and songwriter, specializing in Gospel music. Perry wrote and produced many stage plays during the 1990s and early 2000s. In 2011, Forbes named him the highest paid man in entertainment, earning $130 million between May 2010 and 2011. Perry is best known for both creating and performing in drag the Madea character, a giant, over-reactive, and thuggishly tough elderly woman. Perry's also well-known for creating both stage-play films and conventional onsite films. Between the two, his stage-play films debuted first in 1998 with I Know I've Been Changed. His career with conventional onsite films began in 2005 with Diary of a Mad Black Woman, which features his claim to fame role, Madea. Many of Perry's conventional onsite films are based on and titled after his stage-play films.Perry currently has two upcoming Madea films in the works: Tyler Perry’s Madea Gets A Job (stage-play film), set for release on Blu-ray Disc, DVD, Digital Download, Video On Demand and Pay-Per-View on February 5, 2013; and A Madea Christmas (conventional onsite film based on the play), slated for release on December 13, 2013. Perry was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, as Emmitt Perry, Jr., the son of Willie Maxine Perry and Emmitt Perry, Sr. He has three siblings. Perry once said his father's "answer to everything was to beat it out of you.” As a child, Perry once went so far as to attempt suicide in an effort to escape his father's beatings. In contrast to his father, his mother took him to church each week, where he sensed a certain refuge and contentment. At age 16, he had his first name legally changed from Emmitt to Tyler in an effort to distance himself from his father. Many years later, after seeing the film Precious, he was moved to relate for the first time accounts of being molested by a friend's mother at age 10; he was also molested by three men…

    Modern Day Idiocracy

    As a Republican, my dad raised me listening Rush Limbaugh’s biased harsh voice and Bill O’Reilly’s segment on Fox News. After becoming a well-informed adult who made my own decisions, I stopped listening to anything that Fox News had to say and focused more on CNN who seemed to be a reputable source of information. Even though CNN provides the best news, that doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy my comedy news shows. I loved the segment with Jon Stewart vs. Bill O’Reilly on Comedy Central. It was a great form of entertainment filled with laughter and information with substance as well as finding out the truth. Debates such as that “rumble” between Stewart and O’Reilly, should be televised in place of The Daily Show because it had more substance and was still entertaining. Based on this, I support the statement made from Jason Zinser stating “Whether people tune in to be entertained, to be informed, or both, the fact is that The Daily Show shapes people’s perspective on the world” (366).…
