Comedians Persuasive Appeal
Comedians definitely have persuasive appeal because they relate to their audiences. Their audiences are made up of the common people, like Ryan Hamilton, found in the everyday in the community. He guides our thoughts to be aware of funny situations that we live each day. After guiding our thoughts, he helps us realize the irony found in life. Laughing shows that we have been successfully persuaded of the existing irony.
In this case, the comedian didn't really have a call to action that I noticed. That makes it hard to say that he was persuasive more than persuading us to think about those funny situations in life that made up his jokes. He was persuasive in showing he's good dating material because he was happy, funny, and a "good listener."

I appreciated your comment about him having a call to action. Since this isn't a paper I didn't think of comedians needing those but you're right. Every persuasive thing needs it in order to be successful!
ReplyDeleteDo you think his routine would change/be received differently if the audience wasn’t people like him? If they were not “normal”? Would it make him less funny because he would be less relatable?
