Comedy is something that goes opposite of the way the world sees it. Comedy is more of an art than a science. Because of this, comedy is subjective. What one person finds funny others might cringe at it.
Something is funny because it captures the moment, it contains elements of the truth that we have known for ever and are bringing it forward for the first time.
There are various types of comedy including ; slapstick, parody, spoof, satire, irony, sarcasm, farce, black comedy, and surrealism. Our project is using farce comedy. This is where comedy is achieved through exaggeration and extreme characters in preposterous circumstances that seem to spiral out of control and become ever more ludicrous. In our project a freshman is coming to ISU. He is overwhelmed with the amount of food that is available to him. He abandons working out and sleeps all day. He gains the freshman 15 and more.
The freshman 15 is something that does exist and is a problem for some people, but in the project the way the freshman gains his weight is in an extreme manner.
