I found Zupancic introduction the most persuasive of the reading.  The writing related comedy to real world events and everyday life.  A good movie that this can relate to is Sleeper staring Woody Allen because it uses comedy to make fun of politics, social norms and takes a very philosophical approach to it.  It’s about a guy who wakes up in the future to find everything is different and no one know much about the time he from.  He then gets embroiled in a revolution and a plot to steal the nose of the supreme leader.  Throughout the movie there are jokes at the experience of political systems. 

               The theories each describe a type of comedy but there is a lot of overlap between them.  There are some comedy that falls under superiority and incongruity theory because there is multiply reason people laugh.  Some people have their preferred type of comedy like funny weird or sometimes they want to have some relief theory.  Each theory has its own merits and tries to make sense of comedy, while having to try to descript why that theory works for different jokes.  The best theory is really a matter of personal preference so there is no way to quantify it.
