Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber Tuesday March 31 at 8.30Pm First on the Comedy Channel Express from the US

Media Release: Wednesday March 11, 2015 Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber Tuesday March 31 at 8.30pm first on The Comedy Channel Express from the US Hosted by Roast Master Kevin Hart, the Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber assembles a wide range of pop culture voices to hold one of the world's biggest teen idols over an open flame. The 20-year-old pop star has accepted the challenge to be roasted with ease and in a happy coincidence for audiences the event will fall on his 21st birthday. The Roast will be "no holds barred" and everything and anything is fair game. Actor and comedian Kevin Hart (Real Husbands of Hollywood) has been named the Roast Master and will be joined by Roast regular Jeffrey Ross – who is fast becoming Bieber’s worst nightmare. Comedian Hannibal Buress (Broad City), actor and stand up Chris D’Elia, rap royalty Snoop Dogg, actress Natasha Leggero, hip hop artist Ludacris, basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal, and controversial television personality Martha Stewart will also be stepping up onto the dais with Justin, with more names to be announced soon. Bieber, who is no stranger to being mocked and regularly cops flack in mainstream media like Saturday Night Live and on social media, is the first musician to get a roast since Flavor Flav had verbal shots fired at him in 2007. The most recent Comedy Central Roast was with James Franco who was skewered and burned in 2013.

When Two Become One: Sacramental Woes And Theological Anxiety In Medieval Representations Of Marriage Abstract This dissertation traces the long, winding, and problematic road along which marriage became a sacrament of the Church. In so doing, it identifies several key problems with marriage’s ability to fulfill the sacramental criteria laid out in Peter Lombard’s Sentences: that a sacrament must signify a specific form of divine grace, and that it must directly bring about the grace that it signifies. While, on the basis of Ephesians 5, theologians had no problem identifying the symbolic power of marriage with the spiritual union of Christ and the Church, they never fully succeeded in locating a form of effective grace, placing immense stress upon marriage’s status as a signifier. As a result, theologians and canonists found themselves unable to deal with several social aspects of marriage that threatened this symbolic capacity, namely concubinage and the remarriage of widows and widowers.

As this thesis examines the movements of subjective documentary between self-reflexivity and reflexivity, it argues against an understanding of reflexivity as something that is emotionally distanced from its object and thus relies on a strict separation from both the subject and what it documents, such as for instance the stable irony in many found footage or mock-documentaries.

Satire and Dignity
Satire and dignity Giselinde Kuipers Tis chapter examines satire from the target’s point of view: how to respond to satire without losing dignity? Te power of satire lies in its capacity to challenge dignity, which threatens social position, political legitimacy and individual well-being. Analysing concrete examples of satire, the essay reviews the merits, risks and limitations of possible responses: laugh, joke back, argue, retaliate, show anger, or withdraw. Te capacity to respond with dignity is not distrib- uted evenly: not everyone has the resources to do so. Moreover, there is not always consensus on what counts as a dignifed response. In today’s increasingly diverse and globalised societies, this makes satire increasingly contested and risky, but also an increasingly important domain for intercultural encounters and negotiations. “But he hasn’t got anything on!” a little child said. “Dear me, listen to that innocent voice,” the child’s father said, and people whispered to one another what the child had said. “But he’s got nothing on – a little child says he’s got nothing on.” “He’s really got nothing on!” everybody fnally shouted. Te emperor cringed, because he realized that they were right. But this is what he thought: “I have to see this through.” He walked ever more proudly, and the lords-in-waiting walked behind him, carrying the train that was not there at all. (Andersen 2005: 110) Tis is how we imagine satire: the sudden revelation of an awkward truth, expos- ing those in power as ridiculous – laughable. Te satirist is simultaneously heroic and somehow pure, like the child in Andersen’s tale: the only person not duped by the illusion, unimpressed by status.

Stand-Up Comedy As an Activity Type Ibukun Filani1
Israeli Journal of Humor Research Vol. 4 issue 1, June 2015 (73 – 97) Stand-up Comedy as an Activity Type Ibukun Filani1 Abstract The aim of this paper is to characterise stand-up performance as an activity type and explore ways through which the participants in a stand-up comedy performance, especially the stand-up comedians, manipulate the parameters of an activity type so as to achieve their interactional goals. Data comprised extracts from routines of randomly selected six Nigerian stand-up comedians in a recorded video. Analysed routines indicated that the participants’ goal and institutional identities influenced how they manipulated the parameters like allowable contribution and interpersonal maxims; for instance, the audience made use heckling to negotiate allowable contribution so as to indicate that their interactional goal was unfulfilled while stand-up comedians made use self-denigrating motif so as to elicit laughter and reduce the interactional distance between themselves and the audience. Key words: Stand-up Comedy, Activity Type, Participants, Audiences and Stand-up Comedians Introduction Humour has been described as a condition for humanity and part of human cultural universals (Oring, 2003). Attardo (2011, p. 135) notes that it is the technical term that covers “anything that is or maybe perceived as funny, amusing and laughable.” It is usually associated with laughter, gaiety, mirth and feelings of happiness. Since humour is primarily expressed through language, language scholars have approached it from linguistic perspectives. Schwarz (2010) opines that humour research is central in English linguistics while Attardo (1994) has shown that linguistic theories and approaches have been applied to the study of humour.
