Lead Blog Response 9/30

I will admit that I have never seen Step Brothers in it's entirety. However, the bits I have seen are super funny. I really enjoy this scene because job interviews are universally terrifying to every single person and yet this scene seems to ridicule the whole job interviewing process. I agree with your statements about the scene demonstrating all three of the theories: superiority, incongruity, and relief. I think that the superiority is the most present in this scene because every point of view feels superior to the other. For example, the brothers have a sense of superiority to all of the interviewers. They don't take the interview seriously because they feel confident that they are going to get whatever job they apply for. The interviewers also feel a sense of superiority because these poor brothers are dressed in tuxedos for  janitorial jobs. The interviewers can't help but feel like they are superior in intellect as well as maturity. We as viewers also feel a sense of superiority towards the brothers because we are internally making fun of their attempts to be mature adults. The incongruity and relief theories are also present in the ways that Isaac mentioned in his original post. Perhaps our theory of superiority is due to our need to laugh at something that we have a fear of. We all have fears of going to a job interview and having a stranger judge every ounce of our being so it's easy for us to laugh at a scene ridiculing our fears.
