Alex's Lead Blog Post Response

In Alex's blog I liked how he introduced a new theory called Absurdist humor. Both videos were examples of this theory, especially the second video. The second video is a great example of absurdist humor. It is hard to fit the Sims video into any of the other theories we have talked about. Like Alex said, the only theory it would fit into besides absurdist humor would be benign violation.  In my opinion, the first video could be an example of incongruity theory because we can compare the spelling of the word pregnant to the incorrect spellings of the word in the video. The unexpectedness of how the word is spelled could be the incongruity along with the way the word is used in the sentence. For example, there were some weird questions in the first video such as "if a women has starch masks on her body does that mean she has been pargnet before.?" This is an unexpected question and its even more shocking to find the words and punctuation aren't used correctly. I think the first video could also be an example of the superiority theory because we can compare how we spell things to how the other people spelled things. We know that we wouldn't spell things the way it was put in the video and if we did we would go back and double check our spelling before posting a question on the internet. I agree with Alex that the superiority theory would not apply to the second video. Overall I thought Alex did a great job of covering all the theories and explaining why they would or woylndt work for each video.
