Comments: Goodnight, Sweet Prince

I find it absolutely hilarious that you chose Harambe Memes for your topic this week. Personally, I find them hilarious, and without a doubt a great controversial topic in society. To answer your question, I think the only way we can laugh at something so awful is to show that we accept what happened, and we truly understand all of the circumstances following the situation. Society and the whole Harambe issue have really caught on, and the true reason I think it is so funny, is because of the Incongruity theory, like you said. In randoms situations, people will throw around Harambe's name, when there is no reason or connection to Harambe. For instance, when something really bad happens in our country, someone will post of a picture of Harambe and say "Harambe didn't die for this." Completely out of place, and completely controversial, the Harambe obsession is  humorous and catchy. Everything needed for an epidemic of comedy. Thanks for sharing!
