Comments on Lead Blog Post 10-5-16

Linnea, let me just say great choice of video for this week's lead blog post. I probably have a biased opinion due to my previously stated love for the Office though. I completely agree with your first point about Dwight representing the incongruity theory. Prime example of this are setting something actually on fire so his coworkers would realize the severity of a fire in the office, cutting the mask off of a CPR dummy and putting it on his face, and his constant gullibility with Jim's jokes. What can be more ironic than a fake, real fire. I think you make a great point about the camera work. The camera makes the entire scene more life-like, which ensures that the scene is real (or supposed to seem real). I think I find the incongruity theory the most humorous because of the surprise factor. you never know what is going to happen or come next, which keeps you on the edge of your seat.
