Throughout this class I saw that we never looked at comedy in children’s work. My proposal was that future classes look at a children’s book, TV show, and movie in order to understand the connections better. There are many similarities and often humor hidden between the lines. One TV show I discussed was “Spongebob Squarepants.” This is a show that I watched as a kid, but I realized very quickly that it had many older viewers. The humor in this show is amazingly appropriate for all ages–children understand the humor they see and adults sometimes see a different humor. It all connects and filling this gap, in my opinion, would provide a very interesting discussion.
