Humor

This semester of English we had a segment where we learned about comedic techniques and how to use them in various media examples. Before this unit I had never thought of humor as being an important part of English language or something we would learn about at school. This project challenged us to think outside of the box and make a comedic skit which we would late make into a video to hopefully entertain the public.

My steps in making this video was to first find what I think is funny. I decided that the majority of comedy that I interact with is with my friends and online, so I decided to combine the two into one video. Jimmy Fallon and Tik Tok were two major influences. I asked my friends to send me their cheesiest pick up line and then I would review them.
