Response To Lead Blog November 6

I have heard of the show Wipe Out, but I never knew what it was about. In fact, it sort of reminds me of the show American Ninja Warrior, except that it seems to show more fails than successes. I've never been a fan of these kinds of shows because they are extremely visual. E en when my mom tried to explain the video to me, I wasn't able to properly laugh at it because I wasn't getting the full experience. The things the contestants were doing sounded dangerous. I do find physical humor entertaining. Often ties than not, I laugh at my self when I fall, unless I am in immense pain. I agree that superiority theory is definitely the one that works here. It's easy to think "Haha" when you see someone fall You begin to feel that it sucks for them. Many times, people are glad that it wasn't happening to them. Overall, I laugh at physical humor, but I didn't necessarily find this video funny.

  1. It's very interesting that sometimes physical humor can translate well with only sound, and at other times it cannot. I wonder if physical humor that is more good natured would translate better between registers of sense?
