Comments on Lead Blog Post 10/28
This SNL skit is probably one of the best I've ever seen, considering I haven't seen that many if I'm being honest. My favorite thing from this skit is the difference in time periods. The skit constantly flashes from sober moments to wasted moments, which all contrast one another drastically. I think that if the skit was chronological, then the same effect wouldn't be present. The audience is expecting the girls to stay sober the whole night, but then there is a drastic change, so I agree with your point about the incongruity theory being present throughout the whole skit. My favorite scene from the skit was definitely the pizza restaurant scene. I can see myself sitting in a public place with my drunk friends, who are being belligerent and causing a scene. I see the incongruity theory with the restaurant owner as well. There was no logical reason to pull out a water hose in order to get rid of the drunk women, and it ends up with one of his windows shattering. Overall, great analyzation of this SNL skit.

I definitely thought the pizza part was the best moment too--for me, it was when she throws up right on the pizza. Maybe it was just because that's the ultimate disastrous drunk behavior. But yes, definitely the transitional moments are crucial for incongruity--they make an ordinary sad, or unfortunate perspective much more incongruous.
