1) Did their video support Freud's Theory of Humor? Explain.

(Respond to the questions at the top based on the video below)!!!!

1) Post your favorite routine that supports Freud's Theory of Humor.

2) Briefly describe how the routine supports Freud's Theory of Humor.

The comedian I chose, Patton Oswald supported Freud's Theory by the way he used tension to build up to the suspense of his jokes. Another thing, normally if you talk bad about people who die of cancer people would be offended, but in this sense it was ok. That shows that people find aggressive humor funnier.

3) Do you agree or disagree with Freud's ideas on HUMOR? Explain with examples and reasons. If you disagree, present an alternative. (Keep your answers related to humor.)

I agree to a certain point. The main thing is that you have to be careful when you try and defuse tension with a hostile joke. If the person does not find it funny, it will only make things worse. (I know James Withers shared the same opinion, so I acknowledge that he said so first. I am not trying to steal his thoughts.)
