Comment: Step Brothers Clip

Step Brothers is one of my all time favorite Will Ferrell movies, along with "Kicking and Screaming" and a few others. I enjoy the comedy that most people find as stupid, dumb, and immature. The best thing about Will Ferrell's comedy is how he performs deadpan. Ferrell can tell the best joke in the world, but keep a straight face the entire time. I think this makes the audience for the joke, truly appreciate the joke. If the joke teller laughs while delivering the joke, then the audience automatically picks up on the joke and finds it funny. If the joke teller keeps a straight face the entire time, then the audience has to pick up an understand the joke on their own. In every scene from this clip you (Isaac) chose, I think you can find all three forms of comedy. My favorite scene from the clip, is the interview with Pam. I mean Pan. Never mind, I meant Pammm. The conflict in this scene is clearly the mispronunciation of the Interviewer's name, Pam, one of the most simple names to pronounce. The irony in this whole scene is that they are wearing tuxedos to a job interview for a janitor's position. The audience has no idea what type of job they're interviewing for, but the climactic moment when this information is revealed, creates incongruity theory and superiority theory. The superiority theory is seen in the fact that Pam believes wearing tuxedos is not something a janitor would do. Incongruity is seen because no person in the audience is expecting the brothers to be interviewing for a janitor's position. Overall, I love your choice in comedy, and I though your analysis of the clip was spot on. Thanks for sharing.
