True humor is supposed to be used as way to make people look at situation from a different perspective and to laugh about it. An example of this is from the reading “SantaLand Diaries” where David realized that life was not going as expected. He is thirty –three years old and applying for an elf job. He tries to imagine a whole new world where he is able succeed and accomplish his dreams within three weeks of being in New York. In the reading he says “I’m trying to look on the bright side” he is using this imaginative world to help him get through a really tough time within his life.
This is shown throughout the mockumentary when Kenny is making jokes about what happens at work and the things he has seen.

By using women going to the bathroom after men as the subject of his jokes reveals the humour to the audience clearly, resulting in the meaning reaching the audience immediately.

Yoo, “By ridiculing Asians in this way, Family Guy perpetuates the myth that Asians are forever foreigners” (Yoo, 2011). This type of humor perpetuates a dangerous form of racism that sees Asians as inherently different and inferior in addition to being offensive. Additionally, Family Guy frequently employs offensive and crude stereotypes in its jokes, using Asia as a punchline.

Many audiences of stand up comedy enjoy hearing their favorite comedian entertain them. But what would one think when a comedian cracks a joke about a sensitive topic, for example, a tragedy that affected hundreds of people.
