Please keep in mind that this review is more than 5 years old.
This class is for those interested in thinking critically about humor as a means of entertainment, persuasion, and defense. O'Meally challenges students to reconsider identity politics by analyzing humor in works ranging from the novel Huck Finn to the cartoon Betty Boop. Readings are rarely "funny," but often interesting. Discussions tend to be lively. O'Meally has great jokes that are relevant to class discussion. This class inspires much student creativity.
Two short presentations, one long paper (15 pages) , reasonable reading
