<\/figure>\n\n\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=K_PQPfDbgHM: Humor<\/span><\/a>\n\n\nTake Good Deal<\/em> as an example. Jimmy says: The comedian I chose to compare with Jimmy is a Chinese stand-up comedian named He Guangzhi. I\u2019ve watched many of his performances, and I really enjoy his work. His comedic style comes from the perspective of someone who is poor and average-looking, using exaggeration to make fun of himself. At the same time, he satirizes the misguided values on the Chinese internet that look down on the poor or judge people based on their appearance. His performances are not only funny but also thought-provoking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reflection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n First of all, after watching both of their stand-up comedy performances, my reflection is this: since the audiences they face are different, the style and language used in their shows need to change accordingly. It’s clear that Jimmy\u2019s performances are more open\u2014he can use all kinds of profanity and make jokes about sex. He can mock people in power and even occasionally offend the audience. But He Guangzhi can\u2019t do any of that. All of those things are off-limits for him. However, he has mastered the art of self-deprecating humor, using it to express his views on issues like poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These differences have influenced me in the following ways: I will not collaborate with others on this piece. My work will take the form of stand\u2011up comedy. My theme is my past school life, and I will satirize the absurd, needlessly suffering existence in Chinese schools and the foolish relationships between teachers and students. I chose this topic because I have so many amusing and absurd experiences to share, and school life is something everyone can easily relate to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Comedy technic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hyperbole, I would exaggerate the details of my campus life. For example,every time my teacher walked into the classroom, an angry expression instantly appeared on her face. The wrinkles on her face were so scrunched up, they looked like a crumpled dishcloth\u2014tight enough to squash two mosquitoes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m also going to use Verbal irony (such as sarcasm) a lot, to satirize the hypocritical people and situations I\u2019ve encountered.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Anecdotes,I will mainly complete my performance by telling a few short stories.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen you go shopping with middle-aged or elderly Asian people, they don\u2019t care whether the product is actually good. They only care about whether the price is a good deal\u2014even if the item is ugly or completely useless.\u201d
I think the humor technique he uses here is Farce<\/strong>: a comic dramatic work using buffoonery and horseplay and typically including crude characterization and ludicrously improbable situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~WeiyiC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-04-at-2.55.37\u202fPM.png\")
First, since I\u2019m in the U.S., I don\u2019t have to be overly cautious about using profanity in my comedy, though I\u2019m not used to it, so I\u2019ll use it sparingly.
Second, like Jimmy, I want to focus on cultural differences\u2014specifically, I want to dig into my school life in China. I think there are a lot of interesting stories to share, and since my audience will be my teachers and classmates at school, they\u2019ll likely relate to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDescription of Proposed Project<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
