The role of Genre in my life

This elastic genre called comedy is everywhere in my life. I use comedy to joke with people. I joke with the 50 percent of the people I talk minimum. Comedy is always in the stories I tell to people. When something fun happened to me I tell it with a lot of fun. By the time I arrive home I might see an action-comedy movie or a TV program that it most likely be about comedy. My favorite series are the funniest. In fact, comedy is everywhere in my life. I really do not consider myself on of those girls that use the genre drama in their daily basis.

I like to see action comedy movies because I always expect the movie to make me laugh. There are a lot of ways in which you can transmit comedy to a specific audience. My own way to evaluate how a movie or a TV series is I that I look a lot of how they transmit the comedy to the audience. If they make the funny part of the comedy expected or unexpected. If they use sarcasm, irony or black comedy. For example the jokes of the the TV show The Big Bang Theory are very sarcastic. In the show Modern Family the jokes they use are very ironic. The Middle uses real life situations to create comedy. This TV show called The Middle is about a family that consist of Mom, Dad, a son and a daughter that dramatize problems that happens in a family in their daily life. Of course the audience for this show is for parents and any other family member that are living in a house. In this show they dramatize real life situation in such a very good way that the person that is watching it feels identified and it makes them laugh. My favorite TV show is a comic show called South Park. This show is an animated comic in which it is always situated in a poor town located in Colorado called South Park. This comic uses black comedy to dramatize and to make fun of thing are happening around the world. Some people can find offensive this animated comedy because black comedy is not well seen by everyone. They made fun about religion and about political and social issues. They transmit comedy in a very heavy and dirty way but what I like is that they are very sarcastic, they use a lot of irony and of course black comedy. Black comedy is very funny because they show the reality of the issues in a very raw way. They made jokes for example about the virgin and god, about Barrack Obama and Saddam Hussein. Some of the jokes they use are racist and they use strong language. Every time I watch any comedy movie or TV show look on these type of aspects because I really liked to appreciate how the art of comedy is transmitted.

I had always said that we are what we see in our surroundings. If a person likes to watch romantic movies and like to read romantic books maybe you are going to be a person that like to have a couple or like to be with a couple and you might be very jealous and you will cause a lot of stress if the couple of that person is like me. In my case, a person that watch a lot of comedy might be very funny because you learned a lot of how to transmit comedy. What I expect from people when I use comedy is to laugh but the purpose I use comedy is to be friendly and for the person I am talking to feel comfortable. Some people think that I want to be a clown and I just want to bother people but after you started knowing me you realize how I really am.
