Introduction

This year In English we experimented with a variety of comedic studies. We learned about all different kinds of humor techniques in english. We read some comedic books including The Importance of Being Ernest and Slaughterhouse 5.

My Project

After we learned about humor we were challenged to make our own humor project, there weren’t any real guidelines for this project so we mostly got to pick what we wanted to do. The most common choices are pre-recorded humor skits, in person stand up comedy/skits, and funny illustrations. I chose to do a pre-recorded satirical slam piece about the college board with another freestyle student named Akshur. We wrote content that a lot of our peers can relate to, and would find funny.

Reflection

Looking back on the project I wish we had done more silly things, and gone to film at more places. It would have been fun to mimic more of a youtube style goofy type of comedy. Even though I wish we had done some things differently I had a really fun time putting together this humorist script. I learned a lot about humor during this project and I really enjoyed letting go to be a little silly which I usually don’t like to do. The comedic influences that we used were a you-tuber named Smosh and a you-tuber named Trevor Wallace as explained in the video.
