Dissecting the Frog - Humour in Video Games w/ Alex Chase - Episode 5
Description
A wise man once said "Analysing humour is like dissecting a frog. Few people are interested and the frog dies". Well, we're here to ignore that entirely as we dive into the nitty gritty nerdy side of comedy, asking: Why does that work? Why doesn't that work? And who the hell cares?
Join me, Harry Cole, as I invite a guest to examine and scrutinise their favourite comedians work, as well as their own, to find all the blood, guts and major organs inside. Welcome to Dissecting the Frog
In this episode, Alex Chase dons the scrubs and digs his scalpel into the topic of video games. He teaches me all about how video game humour works, and how it differs from other variations of comedy. He concludes our chat with what he believes to be the funniest moment in video game history. If you are a gamer or want to know more, this is a really fascinating and detailed treat!
