Grace's Lead Blog Post Response

In this week's lead blog post, Grace used an article talking about millennial humor being weird and a video of a man taste testing liquids in various cups. I didn't find this video funny while watching it. However, I think I would have found this video to be humorous if I was watching it with a group of friends. I think it would be more humorous with a group because we all would be laughing at how awkward the video is making us feeling which can go along with the relief theory. The more odd-looking samples he tried lead to more tension being built up to his reaction to each drink. In a group, I think we would laugh at the guy's reactions to the drink because it's odd that he keeps trying the drinks and his reactions show pure disgust. I also think this video would have been more humorous if someone was trying the liquids with him. This also would have helped with the awkwardness of the video in the first place. The camera angle also makes this video more awkward because it's shaky and we never see whos actually behind the camera. If we saw the face of the person's reactions that could have maybe made the video more humorous. In general, I'm confused about the point of this video. Like Grace said the room is white and appears to be clean but when you look more closely, the table is dirty and has four cups of some types of liquids, there is also money on the floor. He then proceeds to try each substance and takes a wild guess at what they are. Is the point of this video to get people's attention or to be humorous by trying odd liquid samples and speaking in a different voice than normal. If so this can be an example of weird millennial humor.
