How would the sketch have been different if instead of being about a parrot being returned to a pet store, it had instead been about “a rubber hammer being returned to a hardware store?” (2). Or what if the pet had not been a parrot but another animal, such as a dog? (3) The provisional conclusion as to the sketch-comedy value of the parrot is that parrots “are not so compassionate that the death of an unknown parrot could be felt tragic, but also not so simply decorative as to make it an impersonal matter of return-and-replace” (3). It’s impossible to summarize adequately here the account Clayton provides because its value is in its attention to the details of the scene. If we are going to talk about what makes things funny in sketch comedy then we do need to get down to the details. A later summary of a mock advertisement for the Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! is another fine example of what Clayton’s approach has to offer in its careful attention to detail (113–18). The book concludes with a suggestion that Aristotle’s famous three modes of persuasion—ethos, pathos, and logos—might be instructively applied to theorizing how sketches persuade us to laugh (128). While this is an interesting suggestion, it would have made more sense to have introduced it at the beginning of the book and then to have tried it out during the summaries of sketches that are the substance of the book. This method would have been consistent with the simple approach of the book and perhaps provided a light illustration of how to think through comedy, which is what this book has to offer readers interested in sketch comedy and humor in general.","PeriodicalId":53944,"journal":{"name":"Studies in American Humor","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85077321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Without apology, these comedians forgo respectability politics or the desire to “find common ground” with audiences who might have historically contributed to anti-Black, antiqueer, and antitrans thought (110). Instead, they use their comedic expertise to hold white people accountable for their complicity in white heteropatriarchy. Scholars looking to laugh and learn will enjoy Cracking Up. It curates a community of Black feminist stand-up comedians and activists and draws attention to key disruptors of white supremacist thought. Both visually and thematically, Mabley is a presence across the text, from the pixilated image of Mabley on the cover of the book to the final screen grab of Wanda Sykes’s impersonation of Mabley from a 2019 episode of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Wood honors Mabley while telling a more complex story about Black women in stand-up comedy. Through laughter and pleasure, Wood asserts that “the black feminist comic demands more. Nothing short of pure freedom will do” (50). Wood’s book cracks us up, bringing us together and pushing us to toward a more hopeful and joyful future.","PeriodicalId":53944,"journal":{"name":"Studies in American Humor","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77393328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
