The question of why we laugh (or don't laugh) has intrigued
scholars since antiquity. This book contributes to that debate by
exploring how we evaluate screen comedy. What kinds of criteria do
we use to judge films and TV shows that are meant to be funny? And
what might that have to do with our social and cultural
backgrounds, or with wider cultural ideas about film, TV, comedy,
quality and entertainment? The book examines these questions
through a study of audience responses posted to online facilities
such as Twitter, Facebook, review sites, blogs and message boards.
Bore's analysis of these responses considers a broad range of
issues, including how audiences perceive the idea of "national"
comedy; what they think of female comedians; how they evaluate
romcoms, sitcoms and web comedy; what they think is acceptable to
joke about; what comedy fans get excited about; how fans interact
with star comedians; and what comedy viewers really despise. The
book demonstrates some of the ways in which we can adapt theories
of humour and comedy to examine the practices of contemporary
screen audiences, while offering new insights into how they
negotiate the opportunities and constrictions of different online
facilities to share their views and experiences.
