Nah, cages don't do it for me.

It's an analysis of comedy through a philosophical/theoretical framework. Borat just happens to be one of the texts.

Ah ok, is it like a prescribed text or did you choose it yourself?

Seems interesting to analyse something like Borat.

Yeah, its actually a part of this sessions syllabus. Among more other traditional texts like Aristophanes, Moliere, Stoppard, Shakespeare etc.

Borat is lame. Watched the first five minutes. Nothing funny about it.

This is incorrect. I have analysed it, and it fits the criteria of being humorous.

Theres a criteria for humour now? What has the world come to?

I would've chosen Borat too.

Oh, please. Aristotle defined comedy in roughly 350BC. Since then there have numerous additions from Thomas Hobbes, Immanuel Kant, Arthur Schopenhauer, Sigmund Freud, Soren Kierkegaard, just to name a few names.

Shouldn't be a problem. I'm one of the better essay writers in my year. And I've put a decent amount of work into it.

That's good then. I'm actually interested to see how a uni student would analyse Borat lol.

I'm looking at it through the frameworks of comedy. So Incongruity Theory & Superiority Theory; essentially determining the better one of the two.

Though more complex than that.
