Deadpan humor

Tim Hawkins is very interesting in that he can be overly expressive at ne point, then he can show little emotion and stare at the audience and get them to laugh. Deadpan humor is exemplified here when he doesn't do anything and stares at the audience

Malapropism

" 'Don't' is a contraption."

Malapropism is defined as a substitution of a word for another word that sounds the same, but the end result doesn't make sense. In this example the speaker ment to say that "don't" is a contraction, but instead uses an incorect word.

Reversal

In the movie Mrs. Doubtfire, the husband of a family experinces a divorce because his wife is tired of his careless attitude. The husband is no longer able to see his 3 children and applies for a job as thier nanny under the name of Mrs. Doubtfire, a supposed older english woman. During most of the movie it goes through the challenges that "Mrs. Doubtfire" encounters as he tries to hold on to 2 jobs and the love of his children.

Visual Satire

Oh so very true, not many people understand what they have done to other people until they experince it for themsleves. The main lesson here is the golden rule, the hard part is remembering it in your everyday life

I would love to go to this school

Me

I am 16 years old, and yes, I do not have my driver's licence. Life has been going great lately though because I have been getting really involved in my church Youth Group. The funnest parts of when I hang out with my friends is when I get hurt in some way and then start to laugh out loud, like slipping in the hallway today because I wore high heels and I don't have the best balance. I love to do tecknical things with computers and drawing a lot. Reading is also a passion of mine and my mom and I often get into debates over who gets to read the new books we get first. I also love sports because they are a challenge, but I unfortunatly do not get to play the one sport i absolutely love, gymnastics. I cannot do gymnastics because I have scholosis (a slight curve in my spine) that throws me off balance when I do backhand springs and causes me to land on my head. I was in this wonderful sport from kindergarden to fourth grade before it caused me too much pain and I quit, looking back I'm lucky to be walking. But since then church has become my life and I've loved every minute of it.

There are many interesting twists and turns within the human mind and differences in culture can affect this significantly........maybe that's what's wrong with this guy.
