The Importance of Comic Relief

[Music]

hello

my name is again and i’m 12 years old

right here and right now i’m saying

this ted talk and it’s a little

stressful

i want to see this talk wisely and

clearly

though i’m afraid that stress or stage

pride

could kick in i

feel like i should use some comic

relief now for those of you

who don’t know what comic belief is

don’t worry

because this talk will be all about

comic

relief so first

let’s take a look at disney movies who

are

great at using comic relief

almost all disney movies have

a hero heroes are

a synonym of the good guys who save the

day

and solve the problem

some heroes you might recognize are

merida simba rapunzel anna

and elsa and juan

let’s not forget another very important

part

of a disney movie here are the

villains which are the bad guys

and they’re the ones who create problems

or disrupt the heroes

from reaching their goals or missions

some famous villains you might know

are mother gothel ursula jafar

scar and maleficent

then there is another character group

called the allies and they’re the ones

who

help the hero succeed

they tutor or teach their student which

is the hero

to solve their mission

some famous allies you might know are

mufasa genie juana’s grandmother

paddy the troll and mama odie

these characters are a very special

bunch the comic relief

characters they are

very similar to allies because

they do help the hero solve

or complete their mission but they are

also

those characters who bring the humor

silliness and child life behavior

to the whole movie

they make us laugh by making silly

mistakes

and then eventually fixing them

some famous comic relief characters are

olaf and sen genie and abu

max and pascal rey and lewis

and of

you may have also noticed that all of

these comic relief characters

are in pairs it’s because that in disney

movie

they interact between each other and

crack all the jokes

now to make a clearer understanding

let’s dive deeper

into one disney movie the hero

the hero is mulan who wanted to

save china and protect her family

the villain was shanyu the evil army

leader

who wanted to occupy china

mulan’s ally was lee shan

who was the general and trained mulan to

be

a warrior and then

there were the comic relief characters

which were

mushu the little dragon and cookie the

cricket

they helped mulan but they also made us

laugh

by making mistakes and like i said

fixing them

so now we see the whole structure of

disney movies

and their characters but can we relate

to this scheme

i mean we also have missions

in our lives which makes us

the heroes our missions

could be a new sport a new language

improving your skills or simply not

feeling fifth grade

our villains could be video games

procrastination

laziness our allies could be

teachers tutors parents

it all depends on your mission

so the remaining question is

where is the comic relief can we

add it to our lives can it become

a part of a new me a part of the new

us here

are a few example examples of my

missions

so my first mission is work out every

day with my family

and the villain for this would be the

laziness when we work out

so the comic relief is silly is playing

silly music

while we work out to motivate us

my second mission is to learn a new

language german

the villain would be procrastination and

not enough time

and the guts to do my german

the comic relief characters would be

silly notifications from duolingo the

app

like your 23 day streak is in danger or

your german lessons won’t take

themselves

we also me and my dad also put around

sticky notes around the house which

tells

all the objects around in german

we also played silly games like who

knows this word

or who finished this topic in duolingo

first

the deutsches

my third mission is my winter mission

which is going outside for walks

my villain would be laziness and

procrastination

because sometimes it’s really boring my

comic really my comic relief

would be winter snow activities like

building snowmen

sledding down mountains or making snow

angels

also we played winter snow basketball

while it’s snowing but why not

who knew you could play basketball with

mittens

and my fourth mission is to play

football without

frustration so the bill so my villain

would be the frustration

i get when i don’t score in

so to deal with that my comic relief is

doing a

silly dance routine when i don’t score

for when i don’t save the goal

so now you see that with the right

attitude

common relief is in everything and

everywhere it can be from post-it notes

to new tracks for example look at what

happened to olaf i made dream winter

just an active nature right but we sent

this out to our

relatives and friends and i had a great

laugh about it

which means we just created a common

relief

so now we see how comic relief makes an

impact in our lives including mine

during covet and quarantine comic relief

is especially important to us

to help and cheer us up

so i thought i’d recommend you some

comic relief

character things and activities you

could use

so the first one would be competing over

silly things like

maybe who makes their beds first or who

finished their

who finished cleaning their room first

and it can come out to be very useful

my second recommendation would be making

food compositions

healthy snacks that would definitely

cheer

your parents up my third

recommendation is freezing face filters

so whether you are calling your

relatives

or friends you can put on crazy face

filters and you would of course have fun

and my fourth recommendation is singing

in the shower

so pick your favorite song and make

everyone in your house

enjoy your singing

these ideas are only my ideas

find your comic relief and use it

so find your allies and comic relief

characters defeat your villains and

reach

your missions one more thing

i wanted to tell you for

our loved ones parents and grandparents

we we are the comic relief

a call shot or just a joke

will cheer them up which helps them

overcome

their villains like loneliness stress

sadness a simple call or it maybe a

visit

could brighten up their day

so my message to you

it is not only important to find allies

and comic relief for yourself that you

have the power to become the best

comic relief for someone else

finding and being the comic relief

could be a part of a new unique

any part of the new us
