Natalie and Benni writing portion #2

Creating a humorous video was quite challenging. Challenging in the way that we had to think about what types of things private and public schoolers say.  Natalie has been a public schooler “but that way back in grade 7 which may not seem like a long time ago, but it is hard to remember what we said” says Natalie. We did enjoy the acting, however it did take a lot of editing and redoing to get it perfect. It is very hard to make something humorous and funny, we had lots of fun editing, and making up all the “funny” things we had to day that could relate to our humorous topic. When we first learned about this topic, Natalie and I thought that it was really easy stuff and just straight up funny and we did not know how hard it is to make someone laugh and all the types of humor there are. Overall we loved creating our humorous project and we hope that you all have enjoyed it and found it to be a little funny.

Public school has and always will be archenemies with Private schools. From my stand point, (Natalie), who has been to a public school then gone into a private school, they do not blend well together. I found that it’s because the public school people do not like stuck up snobby rich people witch is a stereotype to private schools. My friends from public school told me that they are just jealous and totally think that their school (Argyle) is way better than Collingwood. I begged to differ. We am not trying to rant about public schools, I think that they are not much different than private schools, it just depends on what public school you go to. Of course there are differences, but we are all normal students, different from each other and how we learn and in this project we will be showing you a humorous parody of that makes fun of or relates to public and private school students. Our video will show all of this in a comedy of ideas and comedy of manners type of humor, I think it is funny because we are trying to exaggerate what we say in our video and make fun of students and their reactions. In our video we are trying to make public school students look bad by exaggerating everything but we don’t actually think that they are bad students that like to dropout, we know that students from public and private are all normal but we have our differences but in our movie we do the exact opposite to enhance the trait of satire.

Comedy Book ASsignment... Beauty Queens

Natalie Walton                                       Beauty Queens                                                       May 17 2012

    Beauty Queens was a book that reminded me of myself.  The plot was about a bunch of pageant queens going to a pageant when suddenly their plane crashed on a remote island. The group of teenagers then had to figure out a way to survive on their own without running water, no food at your service, and especially no makeup or hair dryers.  It reminded   me of myself in the way that when I went on explore, I felt like I was on a lost island however I did have food and water but no makeup. That made me freak out the most.

    

    Beauty Queens is a farce and comedy of ideas, mostly farce. The book was farce in the way that their plane crashed was a total mistiming and they lost their identities because of this plane crash accident. The girls have to forget about the fact that they have no makeup, they have to fight for survival. The comedy ideas would be that the characters fight over who should stay or who should go hunt food, or who should stop sun tanning and help.

    

   Being addicted to looking good, using makeup, showering, blow-drying your hair, is a bad thing to be addicted to on a lost island with no electricity, and no beauty supplies. Beauty Queens is funny in this way because it is so true. It has become a major thing to teenagers now days, looking good. It is what I would call “The Funny Truth”.

  

    Beauty Queens was a true laugh out loud comedy book.  I really enjoyed it. I loved how I could relate the book to myself in the fact that I am so much like these girls by how I always have to look my best, even on a remote island.

For my satire video, i choose a clip from family guy. Family guy to me is funny in the way that a baby talks with a british grown up mans accent, the family hates the daughter and they make fun of her, and the dog is like a normal person.

Violence is the answer!!!


  A whole mob of angry women get into a bloddy fight over standing for women's rights. It all started with a wifed that discovered her husband had been having an affair with another women. She had found out by a bunch of posts on Facebook of her husband and this women's romantic relationship. The two women had decided to settle for the man the old fashioned way. War! The two women along with many other females, had brought all there knifes, guns, candles and anything they could find to help the wife get back her husband. This the perfect way to settle for a man.

Teachers encourage kids to bring their cell phones to class. 


 Teachers have begun to realize that cell phones are very helpful in many ways, for example they have the internet at their fingertips, they have calculators and much more. Also teens are so interested in learning without technology. So teachers all over BC preformed a meeting and said that every student should have a cell phone on their desk or in their had at all times. The only problem is, is that teenagers hate cell phones! They think its stupid to cary one around all the time, text each other even though they have nothing to talk about and to basically show off how "rich" you are with your type of cell phone. The government is trying to figure out how to get teenagers addicted to cell phones because this would be a good exercise for their thumbs in the way of texting, great for school and there marks!
