film Write this topicToilet Humor in Female Driven ComediesThe famous diarrhea scene in Bridesmaids and the gratuitous vomiting in Pitch Perfect are an odd connection for the two biggest female driven comedies of the past ten years or possibly ever. Is toilet humor simply that funny or is it an attempt to appeal to the more stereotypically vulgar male crowd?

I love the creative freedom given to the shows of netflix and more recently amazon. Without censors to please, the possibilities seem endless. | Netflix and Streaming: How Television is Changing |
I grew up loving the game on N-64 and Game Cube but I fear that less is more when it comes to the “Brawl” version. Sensory overload in my opinion. | Lessons From The Success of Super Smash Bros. |
I personally find Sheldon’s characterization callous. The fact that the writers never acknowledge Sheldon’s condition is worth noting. Several jokes backed with with endless audience laughter are made at the expense of Sheldon’s habits. It reads as cruel to me and I don’t know that they would be able to write the show as they do had they ever acknowledged that they (perhaps unknowingly) wrote an autistic character. Does the audience love Sheldon or love to laugh at Sheldon and is this affecting how watchers of the show react to cases of Aspergers in real life?
