I found this text based humor story on Reddit, as well. This story is a believed true recounting of a prank by the Original Poster that went horribly wrong. I really thought this was somewhat funny because it combined a distortion of reality in the fact that the poster elaborately created a situation that made his friend actually believe that America was under attack. Another reason I thought this was funny was because of how bad it went, with the friend escaping and then the poster ultimately having to tell his friend that it was simply a prank.

 I found this image on Reddit. I initially thought it was humorous for its irony factor, mainly because the drugstore is selling baked goods, that are extremely high in fat and sugar, for a diabetes research fundraiser. I would say it represents a ironic or maybe dark humor genre of comedy.

 I picked Weird Al Yankovic’s White and Nerdy music video because I believe that Yankovic has really perfected the humor and comedy field of music and sound. White and Nerdy is a very popular example of parody music that Yankovic creates and has been around (and still funny) for many decades.

 I thought this video was funny because it was independently made but also because it is very relatable in some ways. Like the way the video starts with the person stuck in traffic but he decides to play with the horn, which eventually turns into a honking war and drum solo. Another funny part is the ending which was really somewhat unexpected.

This image made me laugh for like 20 minutes when I first found it on Reddit a little while back. I just love the use of the setting sun for a dramatic scene with the parents speech bubble filled with sentimentality and the wants of every parent for their child, and then the kid asks for ice cream and as parents usually do when a child asks for sweets... The child immediately gets shut down.

For one of my photos for the assignment 3 I chose to use a picture of a locker room.  The comical part about my photo are the bathing suits hanging on each locker.  Anyone could go in these locker rooms so seeing these bathing suits just hanging there with no one around made me laugh.

My goto here is on ESPN.  On the bottom part of the screen is showing tat Austin Davis is going to start over Johnny Manziel in Cleveland.  This roller coaster of ups and down for Johnny Manziel is hilarious to me.

This is a photo of a wheel chair in my house.  The funny thing about this is that we all had a pretty interesting night a few months back.  When we woke up there was a wheel chair sitting there.  This hilarious situation we were all in has stuck with me for awhile now.
