First off, the attached video had me geeking! I was laughing way too much at the commentary and the whole roasting session brought by Kody Ko and his friend Noel Miller. This is by far one of the funniest YouTube videos I've seen in a while. I love the fact that it's inappropriate, making it funnier to me (being a fan of inappropriate jokes). Talking and laughing about the misfortunes of poor Skippy not getting laid was the perfect example of benign violation humor. I agree where you said that the video represents a good mix between not being too inappropriate and not being too boring. By taking apart every aspect of Skippy and what he's doing wrong made an awkward video hilarious to watch. Skippy's naive personality was the icing on the cake. Him trying his best to be with a woman basically resulted in him embarrassing himself. For example, having his mom as his wing man and making terrible shirts about himself does not usually attract women (especially if you're trying to get them into bed). You feel bad for Skippy but can't help but to laugh at his mistakes and misfortunes. That's where the superiority theory of humor comes into play. I agree how you stated that the use of this theory also plays a key role in the making of this video. I thoroughly enjoyed the video and your blog post! Each component connected with the video and made it easier to pinpoint the theories corresponding with it.
