Humor Reflection
Camilla: We were inspired by those really absurd ads where the product is useless or ridiculously specific and the quality isn’t very good.
Olivia: We wanted to make a satire of an ad for a product that people already use on a daily basis.
Camilla: Throughout the process of filming the b-roll we had fun thinking of creative ways to include gloves.
Olivia: We used dramatic irony by having the creators and the advertisement be so focused on calling it an original product, but everyone already knows that gloves exist.
Camilla: My humorist inspirations were Studio C and James Veich. Studio C is a sketch comedy group and they occasionally would create parody trailers, ads, and music videos. I also enjoyed James Viech’s work. He is a stand up comedian whose shows primarily feature stories about him messing with scammers by responding to them with ridiculousness. Both of these groups use absurdity, but often their hilariousness comes from the fact that they don’t address it at all and keep a straight face.
Olivia: My humorist inspiration was Gabriel Iglasias and Jeff Dunham. I have been watching Gabriel Iglasias Netflix specials for years and always found him funny. He tells jokes from his own life and uses sound effects to help add to the story. I have just recently started watching YouTube clips of Jeff Dunham who is a ventriloquist and has hilarious conversations with them while also making them interact with each other.
Camilla: Thank you and have a great day!
