‘Day of The Wacko’ (2002) directed by Marek Koterski is a movie that is deeply rooted into Polish popular culture. Even though it was released over ten years ago, it can often be seen on both public and private TV. It is as well commonly watched at high school during Polish language & literature classes. On one hand it is a hilarious comedy and some people watching it do not stop laughing throughout watching the movie. It is crude, contains much swearing, a lot of scenes are nonsense or absurd.

Evolution. Evolution was a notion theorized by Charles Darwin to understand how one species can become another animal in a matter of a few generations, or how animals develop tiny changes within their body to adapt to their environment.

One of the most recognized fairytales is “Little Red Riding Hood”. In the Aarne- Thompson Folktale Types and Motifs Index LRRH falls into the tale tile of an AT 333 Red Riding Hood (AT12). Within the story of LRRH, there are two characters that are present in each telling of the tale; LRRH and the wolf. These two characters contrast each other. Whereas the wolf is a wicked, greedy, predator (including sexually), Little Red is innocent (sexually) and depending on the version she is either cunning

To conclude, I would like to focus on the main types of humor illustrated in the pilot episode of Family Guy. After my analyses of the opening credits, episode titles and pilot episode, I realized that Zabalbeascoa’s classification of humor types (“Humor and Translation” 189-195) was almost useless in this case study, as it did not refer to audiovisual uses of humor.
