The Landlord

How do you know what is funny?
I believe that you are shaped by your surroundings. Your ideas and thoughts and the things you feel are right and wrong are usually taught by your family and friends and of course the media. There are cases of people being the complete 180 from their family and friends but the majority of the way you take things in and comprehend them is from how you grew up. I found the Landlord hilarious but i could see how others may find it wrong or cruel maybe even a little offensive for a little girl to be swearing and holding a beer. I'm not saying that it was right but it was funny. I couldn't watch that without laughing but I'm sure there were people doing so. I showed it to my dad just to see his response and he thought it was funny as well but maybe just a little shocking. I feel as if i showed this to my mom she wouldn't think of it to highly. Maybe she would get a little laugh about it but probably would take it a little more seriously. I thought of it as a joke, jokes are usually funny so if you take it lightly and have a mindset of it not being real then it seems a lot funnier, the way it was made to be. They wouldn't try and make a skit with it harming or even forcing a child to do those things and put it on national television or the Internet.
