Explain why or why not. I think there are many reasons a person will laugh at a joke that will put down other people. One such reason is immaturity. Having worked with teenagers I think that this is their favorite way to joke around. I think it makes them feel better about themselves.
The Delivery Humor is an emotion that can differ among audiences. A joke as simple as a knock-knock joke can be outrageously funny to one individual but be seemingly stupid to another. Perhaps it’s not the joke itself rather the delivery. A good writer is not that different from a good comedian. It’s all in the delivery.
She uses different numbers and awards to show how devoted the shows fans are and how well the show is actually doing. Peacocke talks about her own struggle with the shows offensive humor but then now she realizes the use of humor in the jokes. The author uses different segments of the show to show how although the jokes are, at first glance, offensive the hidden meaning is simply "pointing out the weaknesses and defects of U.S. society in a mocking and sometimes intolerable way." (263). Antonia Peacocke uses short parts of from different authors to shape her argument, agreeing with some and pointing fun at others.
Difficulty with reading and writing If a child is having problems with reading and writing this could cause concern. This could be recognised, as a child would be at a delayed rate to the rest of his/her peers.

Stereotypical America I think it is safe to say that present day America is molded out of different stereotypes and assumptions on other races, genders, sexes, cultures and ethnicities. Society as a whole has a way of covering these stereotypes and making it look not so bad. One way they do this is humor. Even in a college setting guys are always making jokes about sex and gender related issues, for example, guys tell girls to “get in the kitchen” or “make me a sandwich” because they think that is the woman’s place and they belong there however it is masked in a joke or joking way. They may not be legitimately telling a girl to “get in the kitchen” but it’s funny to them.
But he's got to have it. All the nobility does." (pg. 249) While the end is still very funny, it is less subtle and the overkill on the satire makings the reading even tedious at points. Overall satire is a key defining feature of Huckleberry Finn and Twain makes good use of it to poke fun at American and especially midwestern society.
show I love, but that not many people understand, falls into that category. South Park is more than just a television show. It is an outlet in which moral messages can be channeled through, in a humorous way that we can all understand and relate to. The key element of South Park is its satirical humor style. Many episodes are based off of real-world problems, and are solved through extensive use of satire.
The penultimate sentence in this paragraph speaks of “Influencers disconnected from the seasoned wisdom of friends and mentors” (emphasis added). This wordplay relating the “connectedness” of social media to the reality of disconnection from people not only tickles the funny bone of literarily minded readers, but also adds to his logical case against the overuse of social media. Hansen also appeals to the credibility of others by referencing books and authors. This helps us see his intended audience more clearly as he does this. First he references a quote about the middle class from Alexis de Tocqueville “in his famous book Democracy in America” (emphasis added).
Using a lot of irony makes it easier for the reader to under stand the story, irony also makes you think of the things that the characters’ are saying. It’s like if the irony makes you part of the story. Chaucer used irony in the story perfectly, he didn’t use it every where. Chaucer used all three types of irony, dramatic, verbal, and situational. I really like the one were the rioter was buying bread, wine, and other supplies.
Wilson uses a satiric tone, exaggerated emotional appeal, and irony to create a very enjoyable discussion—or argument of differences. By definition, satire is a device used to shine light on a subject and attempt to create change. Wilson uses a satiric tone in these passages to do just that. The diction is heavy with political jargon. The language is full of slang and mockery.
