Discussion
6
Group Work. Do you find this video funny? Do you think the man is humorous? Talk about the funny parts of this video?
Possible Answers:
I think the video is funny and the man is humorous. This funny part of this video is the unexpected choice of Mr Hill. The humorous effect is created by the contrast between the man’s less vigorous physical condition revealed in this conversation, and his choice for the sport that demands more energy. The man at the tourist information office doesn’t expect Mr Hill to enjoy extreme sports. The audience was led towards an easier sport before the ending, too.
Find another piece of humorous dialogue and appreciate it from verbal and non-verbal aspects.
