I’m not really sure if Colleen Werthman’s article was supposed to be funny. I mean, it was a good article but I didn’t find it very humorous at all. For example “The what are products, specifically our brands and labels. And the where is the world in its entirety. Mwah-hah-hah-hah-hah-HAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!” I feel like she tried too hard with this. Maybe some people like this kind of smart comment humor, but not me. Another example is when she says “Did we reach 250 words with that last paragraph?” I think this has to do with the common “must have 250 words in a paragraph” that was drilled in our heads throughout grade school. Colleen mainly used exaggeration in this article, like when she said “Those who fail to meet Diversity Objectives will be shot, execution-style, at 500 Park Avenue.”

Howard Mohr’s article was an okay I guess. Again I think this author, just like the last, tries too hard to be funny. But I don’t know. I think it is just my somewhat dry sense of humor. I thought it was sort of funny when he talked about how he didn’t like football, and how he said his neighbor had a Viking boat dock thing in his back yard, obviously he didn’t believe his neighbor. I like how he said that he watched a donkey softball game, and then how he compared everything to it, like football, news, etc.

I guess I could use some of these authors’ examples in my writing. But I kind of like doing my own thing.
