  • PC Is Back in South Park: Framing Social Issues Through Satire
    Colloquy Vol. 12, Fall 2016, pp. 101-114 PC Is Back in South Park: Framing Social Issues through Satire Alex Dejean Abstract This study takes an extensive look at the television program South Park episode “Stunning and Brave.” There is limited research that explores the use of satire to create social discourse on concepts related to political correctness. I use framing theory as a primary variable to understand the messages “Stunning and Brave” attempts to convey. Framing theory originated from the theory of agenda setting. Agenda setting explains how media depictions affect how people think about the world. Framing is an aspect of agenda setting that details the organization and structure of a narrative or story. Framing is such an important variable to agenda setting that research on framing has become its own field of study. Existing literature of framing theory, comedy, and television has shown how audiences perceive issues once they have been exposed to media messages. The purpose of this research will review relevant literature explored in this area to examine satirical criticism on the social issue of political correctness. It seems almost unnecessary to point out the effect media has on us every day. Media is a broad term for the collective entities and structures through which messages are created and transmitted to an audience. As noted by Semmel (1983), “Almost everyone agrees that the mass media shape the world around us” (p. 718). The media tells us what life is or what we need for a better life. We have been bombarded with messages about what is better.

  • An Examination of the Use of Disparagement Humor in Online Tv Comedy Clips and the Role of Audience Reaction in Its Effects
    AN EXAMINATION OF THE USE OF DISPARAGEMENT HUMOR IN ONLINE TV COMEDY CLIPS AND THE ROLE OF AUDIENCE REACTION IN ITS EFFECTS Scott Parrott A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Chapel Hill 2013 Approved by: Rhonda Gibson, Ph.D. Francesca Carpentier, Ph.D. Melanie Green, Ph.D. B. Keith Payne, Ph.D. Daniel Riffe, Ph.D. ABSTRACT SCOTT PARROTT: An Examination of the Use of Disparagement Humor in Online TV Comedy Clips and the Role of Audience Reaction in its Effects (Under the direction of Rhonda Gibson) The dissertation includes two parts, a content analysis and an experiment. In Study 1, coders examined the prevalence and characteristics of disparagement humor in online television clips and its reception by audiences. Disparagement humor appeared in one in four video clips, often targeting physical appearance and weight. Furthermore, studio audiences, other television characters, and online commenters often validated the humorous disparagement of people who are overweight. Study 2, an experiment, examined the influence of disparaging humor and audience reaction on attitudes concerning weight, self-esteem, enjoyment of the humor, and willingness to share the video content with others. Participants viewed one of four video clips: a control clip, in which an overweight teen plummeted down a slip-and-slide; a clip containing disparagement with no online audience reaction, in which a popular comedian disparaged the overweight teen as the video played in the background; a clip in which the video of the teen and comedian’s commentary was framed by socially validating audience reaction, or positive online viewer reactions posted beneath the video clip; and a clip in which the video of the teen and the comedian’s commentary was framed by socially condemning audience reaction, or negative online viewer reaction posted beneath the video.

  • The Ethics of Political Satire
    ! Teaching Caselettes THE ETHICS OF POLITICAL SATIRE Alexandra Oprea Political satirists like Jon Stewart, Larry Wilmore, Stephen Colbert, Samantha Bee, Trevor Noah and John Oliver have become trusted critics and investigators of American political culture. Do these comedians have any ethical responsibilities regarding the political information they disseminate or does the responsibility ultimately lie with the public? This case study was completed under the direction of Dr. Amber Díaz Pearson, The Kenan Institute for Ethics ! Issue Background: Between 1999 and 2015, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart put on over 2,000 episodes skewering politicians, delivering biting critiques of Congress and legislative politics, challenging journalists and 24- hour news networks. His former correspondents have developed a number of successful offshoot political satire shows: The Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee and the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Political satirists are routinely described as a trusted source of news, an increasingly important player in American elections and as shaping the attitudes of Americans towards politics. With great social and political impact, some have claimed, comes greater scrutiny and ethical responsibility. Satirists' coverage of serious topics such as the debt ceiling, net neutrality, patents or the minimum wage have occasionally been criticized as incomplete, misleading or biased. In response, political satirists have uniformly reaffirmed their role as jokesters rather than serious commentators, shifting the burden of responsibility on the media and the public. However, they have also occasionally issued corrections, updates or defenses of their original positions.

  • Comedic Genius and Political Commentator Bill Maher Returns to the Academy of Music September 9, 2016
    Tweet it! He’ll say everything you’re afraid to – and make you cry from laughing at the same time! Comedic genius @BillMaher is coming to the @KimmelCenter 9/9 Press Contact: Amanda Conte 215-790-5847 [email protected] COMEDIC GENIUS AND POLITICAL COMMENTATOR BILL MAHER RETURNS TO THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC SEPTEMBER 9, 2016 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Philadelphia, PA, August 4, 2016) –– For more than 20 years, comedian Bill Maher has pushed the boundaries of where funny, political talk can go on American television , and now this Emmy® Award-winning comedian will return to Philadelphia’s Academy of Music on Friday, September 9 at 8:00 p.m., for the first time since 2014. This performance is presented by the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in association with Larry Magid Entertainment. “Rarely do we see an artist with such a keen ability to take a dividing topic like politics, use it to bring a smile to audience’s faces and draw people together,” said Anne Ewers, President & CEO of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. “Bill Maher’s performances are the perfect combination of entertainment and education, a balance for which we continually strive at the Kimmel Center.” First on “Politically Incorrect” (Comedy Central, ABC 1993-2002) and for the last thirteen years on HBO’s “Real Time,” Maher’s combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him 24 Emmy® nominations. In October of 2008, the same combination was on display in Maher’s uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, “Religulous,” directed by Larry Charles of Borat.
