Controversy In Laughing Matters
analytical Essay
669 words
Laughter can be used for many things. In Laughing Matters, writers Jimmy Carr and Lucy Greeves say, “Jokes have this wonderful potential to create moments of social informality, a sort of leveling out of the teller’s and hearer’s very unequal roles.” (pg. 48) No matter what walks of life that the joke teller and the audience come from, no matter their skin color or background, comedy can shed light onto issues that most have a hard time talking about. They can bring a new perspective to controversial issues, and create dialogue between people groups.
In December 2013, Saturday Night Live held a casting call to add at least one African-American female to the show. American comedian and actress Leslie Jones auditioned. Jones appeared during the Weekend Update segment of Saturday Night Live, on May 3, 2014 where her jokes about her current dating problems and her potential effectiveness as a breeding slave were met with controversy. Despite the controversy, Jones' commentary proved to be a bright spot in a season. Previously, cast members Bill Hader, Fred Armisen, Jason Sudeikis, and Seth Meyers had left, and the sketches were filled with lackluster writing.

On October 20, 2014, Jones was promoted to the cast as a featured player, and made her official debut on the October 25, 2014 episode hosted by Jim Carey. She joined fellow African-American cast members Sasheer Zamata, Kenan Thompson, Jay Pharoah, Michael Che. At the age of 47, she is the oldest person to become a cast member on the show (surpassing Michael McKean, who was 46 when he joined the show in 1994). Jones' addition marks the first time in SNL history that the show's cast has included more than one African-American female and the 40th season has the most African-American cast members to

There are “humor quotient” tests that are designed to measure an individual’s sense of humor, but these tests are questionable. These tests aren’t accurate because almost all humor depends on cultural background knowledge and language skills. Not every person in the whole world, or even in one country share the same background knowledge and skills, therefore they cannot have the same type of humor. “The fact remains that individuals vary in their appreciation of humor” (Rappoport 9).

747 wordsRead More - Science Of Laughteranalytical essayIt is said in the "Science of Laughter" if laughing or joking didn't serve a purpose in our lives, it would've died out long ago. So why do we joke? The simple answer is to make people laugh. According to Carr and Greeves, our ability to joke is a human property, finding the amusing concept in a story or riddle is just a habit. Humans know how a joke works, and how to get a funny punchline across. For example, the author argues that any type of story or joke doesn't have to have a threat, but it can be suspenseful until it reaches its conclusion. Carr and Greeves state that "your brain responds to this tiny paradigm shift by making a conceptual leap that mirrors the jump from perceived threat to no threat, with the same results- laughter" (Carr and Greeves 41). When we laugh, it's usually at something funny or something we find amusement in, but laughter is also a habit developed at an early age.
