Sherlock Jr. certainly has a wide variety of gags and stunts however their common denominator is their effect on Keaton’s character. These gags and stunts were all self-inflicted causing him some sort discomfort. For example, Keaton placed a banana peel on the ground in order to have his opponent step on it and slip. However, Keaton himself stepped on the banana peel causing him frustration and agony. This trend is constant throughout the whole story where Keaton tries to manipulate the fast paced world that is around him resulting in some sort of self-inflicted predicament. This sort of humor is very relatable and common in comedy and humor today. For example, one of my favorite cartoons of all time is Road Runner vs. Wile E. Coyotes. The story is always the same where Wile E. Coyote attempts to kill or capture Road Runner but despite his best efforts, ends up causing himself pain instead. I feel that this sort of comedy is very relatable to humans simply, because many of the things that go wrong in our lives are indeed self-inflicted. As a result, I feel that people find humor like Keaton’s and Wile E. Coyotes funny, because they are actually laughing at themselves and all of the dumb mistakes that they have made in their lifetime. Although I cannot say I have tried to run on top of a moving train only to fall down and injure myself and others as Keaton did in his scramble to find out who stole the watch, I have definitely hurt myself by doing something I shouldn’t have done. As a result, I feel that this kind of humor is very relevant in modern shows and films and in some ways is very therapeutic, because it allows us to reflect on our own mistakes, laugh, and move on.
