About the Fantastic Four! / Laughing at what price?

Fars News Agency, TV Group: The second season of the superficial and even vulgar program Four Wonders, produced by Masoud Shariatnia and directed by Ehsan Mahboubi and Abolfazl Bagheri, will be broadcast every night on Nasim channel in Nowruz 1402. Four Amazing is a hidden camera program that has become famous these days due to the accidental depiction of an unusual behavior, but the problems of this program are limited to this unwanted incident these days (film and clip of the strange whistle of this program was published It became one of the most viewed videos on social networks and virtual space.
It has not happened, and from the very first episodes of this program, it was clear that the quality of Four Wonders is low and many of its jokes are not in line with the mission of the national media.

*Hidden camera function

In addition to the security uses that are always the primary function of hidden cameras; Images from these cameras are used to laugh and laugh. In hidden camera apps, there is a pre-set scenario that plays out with certain actors. In these programs, sometimes jokes are made with celebrities and famous people, and sometimes with ordinary people, and their reactions are recorded and broadcast with their permission. The primary purpose of these programs is entertainment, which is usually accompanied by satire and sometimes humor.

* The difference between humor and mockery

There is a big difference between humor and ridicule. Humor always has a warning and sometimes even a regret in its heart, but it expresses it with a salty expression, but mockery is just laughing at anything that happens.

With this introduction, we take a look at the four amazing program. A program that considers mockery as an excuse to laugh.

* Let’s start with the name of the program: the amazing four

There is a famous proverb that says that saying halvah halvah does not sweeten the mouth. Anyone who has seen even a few minutes of this show will clearly understand that these four people are not amazing at all. They are mostly four unsalted mockers; I don’t even say “clown” because a clown’s job is to make fun of himself and others are supposed to laugh at him, but instead of creating humorous situations, they laugh at others and get on the nerves of the audience.

In this program, four people gathered together and went to the common people with absurd ideas and officially put them to work, and the four people laugh at the cunning market that they have started. It is strange that they probably expect the audience to accompany them, unaware that the real program needs the right “idea” and today’s audiences are not easily satisfied with such situations and do not stop laughing.

Because laughter is contagious, in some cases, the audience may suddenly laugh with their laughter, but putting people to work in this program is so thoughtless, excessive and disgusting that it will definitely upset the audience.

* flavoring; The forgotten capacity of national media

If we consider taste-making as a mission for radio and television and popular media in general, a program like this program, broadcast on the popular Nasim network during the best hours of holidays, can easily change people’s taste towards He has formed Ludgi and turned the society against himself. Consider making laughing and teasing look normal to your eyes! what will it be? Your co-worker falls down the stairs and you laugh at him without remorse. Or your wife was scared and lost color from the terrible sound she heard; You stand in place of sympathy and laugh at your wife’s image.

With the default theory of this program, probably everyone will always be laughing at others and in their hearts they are afraid that I will make others laugh! If we fall from the roof of honor and become numb to being ridiculed, we are sinking into the mire of humiliation.

Our self-esteem has been taken from us and we get used to laughing along with ourselves when we are made fun of. While a person will grow and thrive with self-esteem, and without self-esteem, he is only a consumable element in society and has the potential to become a threat to society.

Perhaps this picture of the result of a TV show seems strict and even fanciful; But with a little reflection, you will see that such a result is not at all far-fetched.

Sometimes laughing out loud as a ritual in a show like Khandawana becomes an appointment to help health, and that’s not a bad thing. In a thirty-second format, we don’t laugh at anyone, we don’t mock or humiliate anyone; We just use the contagious power of laughter and we all laugh together. But in the amazing four, we practice how to laugh at others better!

Even if hidden cameras are used all over the world only for mockery, it is not permissible here; A country that claims culture and civilization and respects human rights and has a warm back to a religion whose prophet was sent for moral virtues, such vulgarity can take root.

In our religion, there are many hadiths and verses condemning mockery of others, and God and His Prophet have always prohibited people from mocking and humiliating others. Following the mockery, fault-finding and oppression will also flow, and how difficult it will be to save a society that is full of mockers, fault-finders and oppressors.

The same hidden camera that is mostly for entertainment in the world; It can work. A hidden camera can be used for culture building, which is known in Iran by Ghahraei. In the programs he made, he jokes with the stars and puts them in special situations. For example, in a situation where an actor or athlete sees someone stealing clothes from a boutique and records the actor’s reaction. There are those who do not react and on the other hand, some react to the thief and quickly inform the owner of the shop. This scenario challenges the audience’s level of activism and responsibility. Besides, joking with celebrities always has the function of bringing them from their self-made throne to the carpet that all their countrymen live on. The problem that has plagued Iran today; The onslaught of celebrities who think that because people know them they are very important and demand them and therefore fall into an endless well of misjudgment.

In fact, the hidden camera, which is nothing but shame in the form of the Four Wonders program, can slowly culturalize anything with a detailed idea and scenario and change people’s norms in line with values. The hidden camera is not an exercise in obscenity, but a platform for the formation of norms according to values. In one part, people’s attention to not throwing garbage in the store was pointed out, or in another part, attention was paid to people’s actions in front of husband and wife fights, and people’s behavior was interesting and thought-provoking. I wish all the episodes contained such messages and these lines were written to appreciate an exciting, happy and impressive hidden camera.

As stated before, the foundation of the reality TV show is watered down and fundamentally wrong. Now consider that the same program, which is questionable by its very nature, accidentally or intentionally (it is hard to think that the broadcasting of unusual behavior in front of the camera was accidental and neither the cameraman, nor the director, nor the editor, nor in the later stages, the broadcast supervisor saw it .) includes unusual and unprecedented behaviors that are not the audience of the Islamic Republic of Iran. With a pessimistic view, he can even be considered as a species that is deliberately inadvertent to be seen more. It is unlikely that any program with this level of immorality will deliberately go to such an issue.

The video and clip released from the strange whistle of this program became one of the most viewed videos on social networks and cyberspace.

Finally, mass media such as television have the greatest capacity to create culture and spread the best human behavior. Laughing and laughing is one of the best things and at the same time one of the most accurate things. The creation of programs centered on happiness, like any other important work, should be left in the hands of Kardan, rather than giving the best hour of broadcasting to a group that is clear from miles away that they are devoid of any ideas.

It is hoped that the media will use its many capacities in the best way and help the development of dear Iran more than ever with tact and planning.
