The two skits that Ellis and I did were examples of satire the first skit was a example of satire because we used a lot of witty puns during the dialog. Such as how when the police man asked how high Ellis was, Ellis corrected him by saying no officer it's hi how are you but knew the officer knew ellis was high. Near the end of the skit the punch line comes, the cop says that ellis's character is under arrest for assault with a deadly weapon then Trevor holds up a salt shaker and a knife, a salt with a deadly weapon. This is funny because the two things sound very much alike, but mean two completely different things misleading the audience. This is a form of satire, because things are not as they seem to be, and there are many examples of play on words. The second skit is about a hot dog vender but he does not sell actual hot dogs he sells dogs. but Trevors character does not know that so he acts as if he were buying a hot dog and asks for condiments on it. The vender knows that it is a dog so he is selling so he thinks that Trevor is crazy. Once the video is over you figure out why Ellis thought he was crazy and it is funny. This is satire because there is mistaken identities  like how the vender sold actual dogs not hot dogs. In conclusion these skits were forms of satire and that is why this project is humorous.
