What makes the Simpsons so funny? Or just not very funny at all?
YL 6 watched one of the episodes (Itchy and Scratchy Movie) to get familiar with how it sounds in English and start the conversation about whether it is funny or not. Everyone agrees that Itchy and Scratchy is definitely violent humor. But not everyone agrees on how to name the Simpsons' humor, nor on how good or bad it is...

ReplyDeleteThe Simpsons:
ReplyDeleteThe simpsons is a very funny tv show.
It is a very stupid humor...but i like it =)because it is interesting.
It uses different types of humor. For example in Itchy and Scratchy,there is violent humor. Why is it quirky humor?
Because the people in the tv show of the simpsons are yellow.
There is slapstick humor because Homer is very stupid. ;)
so...byee
For me the Simpsons are very funny and I think that they use silly humor and sometimes dark humor, beacause at some scenes they are very unfortunate. It is very effective because they have been on tv for 20 years and they are still going.
ReplyDeleteThey use dark humor for example when Homer strangles Bart;in reality it isn´t funny but they make it funny, and silly humor when Homer tries to use his intelligence.
I think violent humor is disgusting, bloody and in no way funny. Itchy and Scratchy doesn't have a plot. They only show violence, different ways of hurting or killing and a lot of nasty pictures. However I like watching the Simpsons because they are a good distraction and you can laugh with them. In it you can find simple humor(Homer is a good example of it), quirky humor(where else have you seen yellow people?), dark humor(you can see it when they use obesity). They use contrasts:Lisa portrays how the talent wont't die in bad enviroments but sometimes it will be corrupted by situations. On the other hand Homer is a disaster in person although he has his moments of ilumination and popular knowledge.
ReplyDeleteThe simpsons is a series of humor. I like it but it´s not good humor. The Simpsons is like stupid humor. The best character of The Simpsons is Homer, because the series is about his family. Its great!ex:when homer drinks a lot.
ReplyDeleteFor me The Simpsons show is quite funny and I think they use a silly(homer's life) and very slapstic(when someone slips on a banana peel) humor, but sometimes they use dark humor(when they fight).
ReplyDeleteTHE SIMPSONS:
ReplyDeleteOn one hand the simpsons is a very funny show. It uses different types of humer. One of the most used is the voilent humor that appears in the Itchy and Scratchy show. Other used humor is the quirky humor because the people are yellow ant that's strange. It also uses other types of humor like dark humor, because there allways happens bad things, and stupid humor because Homer is silly.
But on the other hand I think that, sometimes, the humor used in the show repetitive and tiring.
I think the Simpsons has a lot of types of humor: violent humor (in Itchy and Scratchy); we can find simple humor too in most of the cartoon; and dark humor, but it is less frecuent.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the humor doesn't make me laugh for example in Itchy and Scratchy because I don't like this type of humor and it is disgusting but when it is not violent, it is funny.
Great comments! I'm impressed with the incisive character of some of the comments. And everyone gave good examples to support their opinions. Good job :)
