Mckenna's Lead Blog Post Response

In this blog post, I'm going to argue that this video wasn't as amusing to me as it might be to others. Mckenna talked about how this video used exaggeration. I agree with her but in my opinion, I think it uses too much exaggeration to the point where it's not funny. For example, whenever she talks to her peers you know she is going to try to say something depressing while trying to be funny and it doesn't work. She is trying too hard and using extreme exaggeration.  Also, there is a lot of laughter in the video and if it was taken out of the video, it wouldn't be funny and probably more awkward than it already is. Another thing Mckenna brought up is that the actors cant hold it together. This makes the video less awkward and more amusing to watch. It's funny that the other actors cant hold in their laughter because it makes the audience laugh. She also mentioned how this video uses the incongruity theory. I think in this example its almost expected of Debbie to say something negative while Pluto is around. But if we didn't know that Debbie was trying to purposely be a downer than this would be an incongruity because its unexpected. I like how this video was a different type of comedy that we watched. She brought up pessimistic views on various topics and didn't just say them straight to the camera but instead made a little scene about it instead. I liked how this was different from political humor where most of them that I've seen are talk shows. Overall I thought this clip was interesting to watch even though I didn't find it as funny as I thought I would.
