“If the police showed up she would have to drop me and pretend I wasn’t hers, like I was a bag of weed”(28). Humor like this in Trevor Noah’s Born a Crime, produces easier to absorb content since his memoir is full with hard to swallow concepts. The story he shares follows him, a half black and half white child, growing up in South Africa during apartheid. For this reason Trevor was quite literally born a crime. He writes about the struggles he had to face growing up with his mother side of the family, the black side. Although the odds were against him the day he was born, he is able to accomplish many things thanks to the help from his mother who would literally take a bullet for her children. Although many writers use dark humor to tell

Kevin Hart was born on July 6, 1979 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is known for being a comedian doing stand-up comedy and for being an actor. 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’. He won several amateur stand-up performances, which encouraged him to perform in clubs around the country. ABC gave Hart his own sitcom called The Big House, which was cancelled after only six episodes. Hart did not sit with that loss, instead he rebounded quickly.

Today, people find messages in the form of codes subconsciously within the entertainment industry, which are the broadcasters of these codes in order to portray their messages to appeal to the deep semantic codes of a culture. This can be found in almost every form of media, and while the news does in fact play a major role in displaying these codes as subconscious messages for its own audience. The Sean Hannity Show is a perfect example because Sean Hannity has personally taken full advantage of how to create messages by using codes within his show to appeal to the conservative American dominant culture. While, also using the idea of alienation of certain people or groups in order to use them as an commodity for his own personal gain to be

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.

Furthermore, another contribution to his unique personality is his distinctive humor. Hilarious to himself, it causes even his best friends to roll their eyes and sigh at him.

Therefore, it is the purpose of this paper to analyze Tristan Bernard’s play titled “I’m Going! A Comedy in One Act” using the formalist approach. “I’m Going! A Comedy in One Act” is a farce about a married-life conversation between Henri and Jeanne that is “…exaggerated to a ridiculous level to create humor–and comment on inflexible human behavior” (Clugston, 2010). Moreover, a farce according to our text is “a comedy; a short play, in which both subtle humor and hilarity are developed through improbable situations, exaggeration and (often) ridiculous antics (Clugston, 2010). In addition, author Irving Howe suggests “the events of farce are quite as probable as those of tragedy” (Howe, 1990). When asked what captured my interest with this particular genre of literature would be the ease and flow of the writing and the use of ambiguity. According to our text, Clugston states that ambiguity is the “use of language that has more than one meaning, creating uncertainty about how to interpret what has been stated” (Clugston, 2010). For example, Jeanne responds to Henri after he complains to her that he doesn’t have fun at the horse races when she comes with him with the following line; “Yes, up the Champs-Elysees together! And have you looking daggers at me all the time! Whenever I do go with you, you're always making disagreeable remarks” (Clugston, 2010). Another reason for the interest in “I’m Going! A Comedy in One Act” simply lies on the foundation of comedy; it was quite
