Comedy: Thinking About Why We Laugh

Radio Uprising

This week’s radio crew takes a headfirst dive into the art of comical relief! Have you laughed today? Was it a commercial on tv? Do you make yourself laugh? Because let’s be honest, secretly we are all hilarious and 100% deserve our own late night television talk show. In this week’s episode the crew explores concepts such as Schadenfreude, where empathy and comical relief meet, and take a turn into the world of politic cartoons and interpretation. The Youth Producers ask the important questions. For example, Valentine-o-Grams: Comical or heartfelt? When can jokes go too far? Can you go too far laughing at yourself? What are the consequences? And so many more. All glory to the hypnotoad!
