Teenage humour is unlike adult humour. Teenagers laugh at “Toilet” humour while adults laugh at “Civilized” humour. Therefore considering that teenagers laugh at the opposite of what adults do, we need to define the reasons why teenage and adult humour is so different. I believe that teenage humour is sex oriented. I took a survey of ten teenagers to see what they believed was humorous. Trisha Lindsay believes that embarrassing moments are hilarious.
Dustin Lockhart, Nadia Korfitsen, David Webster, Rick Fawcus, Kristi Webster, and myself believe that sex or sexual suggestions are humorous. Re nita Many and Ashlee Green believe that people who act idiotically or hurt themselves on a regular basis are hilarious. I believe that from this survey I have proved to you that most teenagers believe that sexual suggestions are the most funny in our generation. The television programs that most teenagers watch are The Simpson’s, Friends, and That 70’s show. The Simpson’s is a program that is aired on Fox and it is a cartoon.
The Simpson’s is about a middle-aged man named Homer. He is a dumb-founded idiot that works at a nuclear power plant. We laugh at him because he makes so many mistakes even if they are the easiest task. Bart is a ten year old kid who gets into trouble more then once a day. He gets into trouble at school and even when he is walking down the street to go home. He is like an average ten year old kid that likes to get into mischief.
The Essay on Teen Pregnancy 3 Teenagers Because Young Teenage
Teen pregnancy has become such an issue facing America that President Clinton has addressed the issue. Statistics show that every two minutes a teenager gives birth in the United States (Guernsey 6). This means that at least three thousand teenage girls become pregnant everyday and almost one million teenagers become pregnant every year (web). Four in ten teenage girls become pregnant at least ...
Bart is just a trouble maker that doesn’t know when to behave himself. His sister Lisa is a straight “A” student that is on the Honour Roll, and plays the saxophone in the school Band. Every little girl would like to be Lisa because she is very mature for an eight year old. Marge is the mother of both Bart and Lisa.
She is a homemaker and isn’t very funny. Bart and Homer are the prime targets for funniness in this series. That 70’s show is the second example of a television show that teenagers find amusing. Adults find this amusing as well because they can relate to the subject. This show is about the 70’s obviously. It is how our parents use to be.
I believe this is one reason why teenagers find this television show amusing. The cast of the 70’s show involves Kitty and Red who are Eric’s parents. Donna is Eric’s girlfriend, and Fez is a foreign student which is hilarious because he can’t even speak properly. The clothes and the hair explain it all.
When we look back on our parents we see bell-bottom pants, and disco days. I believe that we laugh at this because it was how our parents once were. The other television program that I chose is Friends. Phoebe is a masseuse who is really dense and na ” ive. Joey is a struggling, Italian actor who believes that one day he will make the big times because he is good looking. He hits on every female that passes him by.
Ross is a paleontologist who was once married to Lesbian who gave birth to his son. Rachel works at Ralph Lauren and she is a prissy girl who gets lots of men’s attention. Monica is a chef who is a neat freak. She is married to Chandler the computer wiz.
Chandler’s dad is a drag queen who works in Las Vegas. Chandler’s mom writes very sexual romance novels. This show is funny because you wouldn’t think that these people could be such good friends. I chose magazines, another example to show what teenagers laugh at.
Usually in magazines, it has people write in and share their most embarrassing moments. I chose this article because it is about sex and teenagers laugh at this kind of humour. “Burglar-alarm booty” My sweetie and I were getting busy when my guy reached for the handcuffs. I kept them in my night table for such occasion. He had me attached to my headboard, naked as a jaybird, when we heard a loud crash in the next room. A burglar, thinking that nobody was home, had broken in through the window and my boyfriend leaped out of bed to chase him away, we have a security system, so the cops were there in no time.
The Essay on Communication Problems Between Teenagers And Adults
From the beginning of time teenagers and adults have always had conflicts with each other. These conflicts occur most of the time because of the lack of communication between the teenager and the adult. The generation gap between the teenager and the adult can play a role in the problems they have communicating. The superior adult has the instinct that whatever the inferior teenager does can lead ...
I guess the commotion made my guy forget what we were doing because the cops all came into my room, where I was still locked in my queen-size prison, shrieking at him to let me out.” I believe that this is funny because many people now-a-days are or about to have sex. If this was to ever happen to us we would be embarrassed at first but we would think that it would be hilarious afterwards. Teenagers laugh at sex. It is the prime topic in my essay. I also took a survey of six adults. Debbie Fawcus, Eric Fawcus, Never Fawcus, Dorothy Osborne, and Harvey Osborne believe that politics are humorous.
When Monica Lewinsky and the President had an affair, everyone thought that it was funny. This is sex-oriented in a parental sort-of-way. Adults humour grows from when they are little to how they are now. Everybody laughs at things that are oriented into our lifestyle.
Adults laugh at things that are oriented into their lifestyles. Adults are born in the 50’s and 60’s while we were born in the 80’s. Things change. The clothes, the hair, and the makeup that we wear, are all oriented into our lifestyle. We all have our own lifestyles and that is what makes each of us have own comedy. Some people may see things that are incredibly funny to them but may not be funny to the viewers.
Adults have their own style and teenagers have theirs. I believed that I have proved that teenage humour is sex orientated by every aspect; magazines, surveys, and opinions.
