Mallory's Lead Blog Post Response

In this week's lead blog post, Mallory used Limmy's Show which is a Scottish show that went over the idea of water. It starts off with Limmy going to the store and pointing out the water bottles on the shelves, he then proceeds to leave the store and goes to turn on a sink and fill up a glass with water. After he fills up the glass with water, he presents it and the scene cuts. I thought the scene was over but the people behind the scenes came onto the scene and started asking about the glass of water. The incongruity theory can be applied to this scene. When the scene says cut you expect the cameras to stop rolling and the scene to be over. Instead, the cameras continue to roll and the people from behind the scenes come into the scene asking about the water and desperately try to get there own cups and bowls of water. The superiority theory can also be applied to this clip. Limmy gives facial expressions to the camera that says, isn't this obvious that we can access water for free through sinks and it tastes the exact same as a bottle of water? These facial expressions can be applied to the superiority theory because in this case, Limmys expressions are expressing that he feels superior to everyone else because he "discovered" that we can access water for free. Like Mallory said, the accents make this video more humorous because it's not normally what we hear every day unless we lived in another country. Another thing that Mallory points out is the angles of the camera. Without the camera following around Limmy like we are there in person would have made this video less humorous.
