A humorous moment that really cracks me up in my reading of The Importance of Being Earnest is right at the begining. Its in basically the introduction when Algeron sets up Jack so he can find out the truth. It was a very manipulative move when he asked him about the cigarette case and its insciption. I just found it funny the way he worked him so easily and had such a way ofsetting up questions and comments that would trip up Jack. Personally I love the sarcastic and witty jokes. When someone is really quick to make a connection that is smart and funny I die laughing.
A good example of modern humor is The Office. The show is a fake documentary and uses awkward and dry humor. It shows humor through the seeming unintentional actions of the characters in the show. I honestly love this show I've seen it countless times and watching Jim tease Dwight or Michael ramble about things he has no idea about never grows old. Another great example of modern day humor is the movie The Ringer, a movie featuring Johnny Knoxville so you know its gonna have stupid and simple humor, but that doesn't mean it's not funny. The movie is all about a guy pretending to be mentally handicap so he can win a bet off the special olympics, he does it to get his gardeners fingers sewn back on so its not as horrible as it sounds. Throughout the movie they have simple bathroom or sexual jokes but they're still hilarious because of their delivery.
