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
