Michael had some failures and obstacles in his life so far. Michael wanted to be a professional hockey player but he couldn’t because he was too small in height and he never grew large enough to play (Mills).

“The struggle of the funny performer has remained a symbiosis of drive, jealousy, heartbreak, and triumph-- existing then as it exists now. Perhaps the only other constant is comedy’s unfailing popularity”

Michael was successful in convincing his point of view through the use of pathos. His audience was enjoying his speech because of the touch of humor in his talk.

Within her arguable essay “Family Guy and Freud: Jokes and Their Relation to the Uncouncious”, Antonia Peacocke, who is a graduate instructor in Philosophy from the University of California: Berkeley, uses Freud’s ideas to compare them to the harsh humor and satire to the show Family Guy. From these ideas, Peacocke is able to make a connection and an argument from Family Guy’s rude humor to the ideas that Freud literates. This can help the viewers of the show have an open mind on the reality the humor can have on people mentally.

He was raised by his mother, Nancy, and is the youngest of two boys. His father, Henry Hart, battled with cocaine addiction and was in and out of jail, so he was rarely around during Kevin Hart’s childhood. However, since Kevin’s childhood, his father has cleaned himself up and the two of them have reconnected. Kevin Hart took to comedy as a way to relieve himself from all of his pain that he endured during his childhood. He used humor as a coping mechanism to make everyone laugh about the situations that he has been through. “The jokes,” he has said on his stand-up, “come from a real experience” (biography.com editors). As a kid, he was really into stand-up comedy and comedians. Hart named Chris Tucker and J.B. Smoove as the most influential comedians to him. Soon after he graduated from high school, he had begun to work as a stand-up comedian. He traveled to New York City, Brockton, Massachusetts and Los Angeles. He started off doing stand-up comedy in small clubs with his stage name as ‘Lil’ Kev the Bastard’.

The comedy genre is designed to give us humor and provide us with laughs. This can be done in an often extremely exaggerated manner. Some jokes may even stick with us for a lifetime after we’ve watch the movie. The films that I chose to watch for the comedy genre were Animal House (1978) and The Newsroom (1987).Animal House (1978) is a comedy film directed by John Land is. Even though it was Shot in 1978 this movie takes place during 1962.This film follows a quest plot of college frat students(The Delta Tau Chi)trying to make their way through school, while opposing a rival frat (Omega Theta Pi) house and an ill-tempered dean who has it out to get them. The conflict of this movie is man vs. man or in this specific case man vs. dean. The film starts with Larry Kroeger and Kent Dorfman checking out frat houses to join. Larry is an average handsome guy and Dorfman is his goofy and chubby companion. They start at the Omega Theta Pi house and soon feel out of place by their aesthetic, so they visit Delta Tau Chi and fall in love with the idea of joining this frat house. Other members of the house include Bluto (John), Otter (Eric), Boon (Donald), D-Day (Daniel), Hoover, and Stork. Shortly after pledging and gaining admittance to the frat the group is challenged by the Dean because of their violated probations and places them on Secret Double probation. The Dean hates the Deltas and is ambitious about getting their frat removed from Faber College. The Deltas retaliate by throwing

The difference between the intended meaning of media texts and what the audience actually perceives can be shockingly different. Producers of media can do everything possible to force audiences to experience their work in the way they want them to, but in the end they still take away many different meanings even within the same audience. Stuart Hall outlines this in his encoding and decoding model. One of the most apparent examples of this is the television show South Park. The television show South Park is a media text with the producers’ preferred meaning of being decoded as joke or as being satire, but many audience members take an oppositional stance of taking it seriously. This is clear from the examples of controversy when South Park aired episodes focused on Scientology, red-headed people, and Islam. Through these examples it is demonstrated that the producers of media have less power compared to the audience in determining the meaning of media.
