Practice happiness with humor/joke programs with respect – Mehr News Agency Iran and world’s news
Gholamreza Azari, a researcher and specialist in communication, media and cinema studies, told Mehr reporter about the spread of humor and stand-up comedy on television: Stand-up comedy, which includes comedians who use different situations and experiences to entertain the audience, has its roots in various shows of late 19th and early 20th century, especially in vaudeville theaters.
Referring to the example of comedy programs of Nasim network, he added: This form of comedy often included quick laugh generators and basic arrangements that were connected to excite the audience and entertain them to some extent. In my opinion, using everyday situations to create laughter in media programs, especially visual comedies, can be a suitable and effective way to entertain the audience. When this is done with the local taste and culture of each country, it can help the audience to find humor in a world that is very specific and different and even feel comfortable in different scenarios and following them.
Azari said about humor that tries to make the audience laugh through any situation: it is important to use humor or different forms of humor with respect and attention to different views and experiences. Combining everyday situations for comedy purposes and spreading joy and laughter can help the audience’s enjoyment and entertainment and sometimes free them from daily work and thoughts and lead them to a world of ease.
Audience participation in comedy programs and practice of happy moments
He said about the effect of audience presence in comedy programs: The participation of television audiences in the performance of comedy or entertainment programs, whether as participants or spectators, significantly helps to attract viewers to television. Audience participation creates a sense of interaction and exchange of ideas and feelings. Some studies have shown that audience participation has significant consequences. Audience participation in television comedy programs, such as laugh-out-loud moments or direct confrontations, is an exercise that enhances the comedy or entertaining program experience for viewers.
The researcher added: “Contemporary television comedies have been reshaped by audience participation, which demonstrates the importance of building a strong connection with the audience despite evolving production and distribution models.” In short, audience engagement plays an important role in attracting and retaining television audiences by enhancing engagement and enriching the viewing experience.
He stated about how the audience gets involved in the content: the results of specialized media research show that the participation and engagement of the audience are important factors of entertainment and have a significant impact on television programs with interactive ideas. By focusing on the common people and engaging the audience in the content, media programs can create a more relevant and engaging experience for viewers. This approach is consistent with the increasing emphasis on interactive entertainment and audience participation in shaping the content they consume.
The influence of the presenter in engaging the audience with the program
This media researcher also said about the presence of emerging presenters in the programs: the impact of emerging presenters in television programs, especially in communicating with the audience, can be significant and thought-provoking. Media research shows that presenters who show genuine passion and interest in the topic under discussion are welcomed by viewers. In addition, how viewers interact with television media has an important impact on what they learn, and active viewing can be encouraged in a variety of ways, including program design and presenter characteristics.
He added: presenters can influence the audience’s choice. In the context of audience participation shows, interaction between performers and audience can also increase the effectiveness of communication. When performers engage the audience, they can create a more dynamic and participatory viewing experience, potentially leading to a stronger connection with the audience. The effectiveness of new presenters in television shows is influenced by their ability to communicate with passion, engage the audience and create a dynamic viewing experience. These factors can contribute to the overall impact and success of the program.
