Comedy Contest 25! (Blog 162... !!!)

This contest blog is a bit tricky to write. On the one hand I want to say how funny LIT Laugh’s video is, but on the other I don’t want to give any spoilers. Well I suppose I can give at least one; their video is called ‘When You Self Diagnose - Online’. Part of the humour comes from its relatability; the internet diagnosed me with cancer when I was constipated, diabetes when I was simply thirsty and with a form of newly emerging bubonic plague when I had a bruise. (Ok, I made that last one up, as you may have suspected). Much of the humour comes from how silly the sketch is. Whoops, I’ve said too much. This case has lots of subtle humour, too. (I’ve done it again). Even when the concerned friend said ‘last time I saw you, you were completely fine’ and the ‘dying man’ responded by saying ‘yes’, that was pretty funny. It doesn’t sound like that could be possible; it sounds too serious and mundane, right? Not so in practice. Great acting!

There are points in the video where the actors seem like they were trying not to laugh and rightly so. Yes, that’s obviously not congruent with the subject matter but still it doesn’t spoil the comedy in any way. You could say it made it even more fun to watch. Again obviously that wouldn’t work if this stuff was a drama, but for the third obviously, it isn’t. Can I go for a fourth obviously? I guess you should visit a doctor if you’re concerned, not go on your computer. Few people have to worry about the black death, if that’s what you’re worried about. Sorry about that. Let’s go for five, just because it’s a nice number… Obviously this video is a video. Kind of pointless if not dumb saying that, but again, what a number. Interestingly it can replace the letter ’S’ in a way many consider stylish and edgy. Anywho, are you getting too excited and want to know what’s in the sketch I was hiding from you? Check it out, below!

Now to go off road. About a month ago, someone delivered a letter through my door at exactly 10:00:00 AM. How’s that for professionalism?? Unfortunately the letter was nothing special, ruining my theory that important or great news gets posted at notable times of the day. I so wish that was the case but strangely I don’t know why. I guess I’m an enigma even to myself. Just a good looking number again, I guess. If I ran my own postal service, I would sort the mail into orders of importance and employ around fifty postmen for every street to carry out the huge operations. I would take a once ordinary profession and add to it advanced mathematics, expert time keeping skills and leadership. If only I studied business studies at school. If only I understood the rudimentary concepts. Never mind. And that’s all again! Bye!
