The Movies

In Dane Cook’s vicious cycle, the movie scene is one that everyone can relate too; everyone has experienced the something similar to his description of going to the movies. Around here, everyone can relate to going to look and see what movies are playing online, then the movies become like an adventure more than just going to the movies. The entire time, Dane Cook is moving around or acting out parts, which brings several emotions and triggers the memory in a visual way and in words. Every girl can relate to being asked if you want any snacks, or “treats” as Dane Cook calls them, the response is almost always umm no. Dane’s body movement during this scene is identical to how most girls react when asked that question. He might over emphases on the movement, but it still relates to how we react and how awkward it can appear. Once you get into the theater, there is always that debate over where to sit. The way Dane runs on the stage, gives him like a childish, playful appearance. After getting settled in the seats, this always happens, the sudden urge to want some “treats” take over. As Dane changes his voice to imitate how the girls begin to sound, like a childish mumbling voice. The facial expression he has on his face, the embarrassed, self-conscious one. One of the best parts in the entire movie scene is when he is passing by the people in the rows. He demonstrates how uncomfortable it is to pass by people sitting, no matter who you are, everyone has experienced that feeling at least once. However, my favorite part is the movie previews. For the “one time in all of our life, we get to be a critic,” we all judge how the movie is going to be by this one preview. His movie previews become realistic by creating sound effects, from which the entire crowd can understand it is an action movie and sounds exciting. Everyone does the same thing, deciding whither or not that movie is worth seeing, based on this one preview. Dane Cook gets the crowd evolved by relating the humor to everyday situations that everyone has experienced at least once. He not only brings up familiar memories and feelings, but also demonstrates them on stage. This takes the funniness to an entirely different level.
