The Humor Project was an English assignment where we had to come up with a standup act or a prerecorded video that people would find humorous. Me and my partner, Addison Locke, made a pre recorded video where 4 people drew stuff on Paint. The drawings usually end up to be some terrifying thing that can be found humorous.

Humor Proposal

Hannibal Buress

Hannibal Amir Buress is a comedian, actor, writer, and producer who started performing his comedy in 2002. He has done several stand-up acts under Comedy Central, appeared in movies such as TAG, Spider-man Homecoming, and Baywatch, and is the co host of the Eric Andre show, a show that has several elements of absurd humor, black/blue humor, exaggeration, slapstick humor, and practical jokes  He is one of my favorite comedians because he has a pretty absurd sense of humor and I personally like black/blue humor. With the Eric Andre Show, Hannibal has been involved in “torturing” the guests that show up in the show either by placing them in weird situations like when he just casually eats cabbage right next to the guest, act out an argument with someone who claimed to be the mother of his child, or just making the guest uncomfortable. Hannibal has gone on tour several times for his stand-up comedy. The New York Times has called him “the most supremely gifted and respected comics around.” He has a Podcast named “Handsome Rambler” which is entertaining and shows how much he can talk about. The movie “TAG” was a movie where Hannibal starred in and the concept of the movie is extremely simple, it’s a couple of grown men who have an ongoing game of tag and it features several extreme exaggerated actions, nowhere is safe from being tagged, even in the worst of situations the person could be tagged.

Eric Andre

Eric Andre is a comedian, actor, and the host of the “Eric Andre Show.” As stated before the Eric Andre show is any extremely absurd show that plays on Adult Swim. The Eric Andre show is a very funny joke and has an interesting concept of getting celebrity guests in order to “torture” them on his show, whether it be from yelling loudly, splitting his desk in half, and beating up a naked intern in front of the guest. It’s a very absurd show that really doesn’t make much sense, but that doesn’t take away anything from the show, it raises the question of how are they are gonna make this person uncomfortable next? How are they gonna top this? What are the boundaries for him? His humor may not be for everybody since it could be extremely nonsensical, but sometimes it’s fun to make something that would seem extremely uninteresting on paper, into something pretty funny, like a small bit called “What if it was purple?” where he turns random objects purple, but with his over exaggeration and facial expressions it made it humorous to watch.
