Goofy or kind of ironic western banter

Point of significance

Is this the producer poking fun at the western culture as a whole?

Subject

Unclear character roles, leading to find out who the protagonist is.

Point of significance

Possibly trying to bring a different style of film to the west, and trying to destroy the normal “western” paradigm

Changing Westerns to make the style unlike the normal patterns of  this cultural category of film.

By not showing a clear-cut version of a western, and providing comic scenes, are these Italian producers subtly  making fun of Western Culture? [...]

Spaghetti Westerns are a sub- genre of Westerns, that Italian producers have made.  Predicting a story that is not the typical format of westerns, Spaghetti westerns provide blurred character roles, irony/corny scenes.   The laughable nature in some of the movies that are more corny than anything leads to an interesting question.  Was the intention of these Italian producers to poke fun at America, and show how uncreative westerns were?  This possible intention mixed with how the protagonist is portrayed in the films, creates a different view of what this sub- genre really meant.

Listened to on many streaming services, the Evolution of His-Hop/Rap has changed the way music is being heard with the perception of drugs, guns, and women throughout their songs. For example, In the early ’90s, rappers such as Tupac would rap about drugs, guns, and how many women they had while sending a message in the process.

On video-platform websites, kids’ toy unboxings are videos watched by parents and children to distinguish the nature and importance of kid-oriented products.

I just wanted to provide some real examples of these unboxing videos just to show the popularity and existing culture present in different forums such as the comment sections and the discussions that are present. Whether it’s a Walmart unboxing or a $400 toy car, these products matter to someone past wanting to experience things outside of their perspective. It is not only children who are a part of this culture, but adults who revel in these experiences of childhood that normally wouldn’t be afforded to them when following societal conventions at 25+.

In many online videos, online advertisements, and commercials, the term clickbait is something that draws the consumer (reader) in and grabs their attention, getting them to click on or view the product. Clickbait over-promises and under-delivers to the consumer in that the clickbait itself is usually over dramatized.  Clickbait is different from any other normal advertisement title in the way that it provides and excessively dramatic or interesting title in order to gain more views/clicks. Normal titles for ads or videos are truthful and do not over-promise, but in turn gets them less views. Normally, a consumer would see an advertisement, video, commercial, whatever it may be and if it interests them they will view it or click on it. [...]

In Network television comedies, cold opens are used to give a lighthearted 60-90 second beginning of a show popularized by the hit TV comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Andy Samberg’s cop character Jake Peralta is working with a victim to identify the criminal in a line-up, he asks each member of the line-up to sing a part of the famous Backstreet Boys hit “I Want It That Way”. He enjoys the sing-a-long so much that when the victim recognizes number 5 as the man who killed her brother, he immediately realizes he forgot that key detail in their passionate singing.  [...]

In literature, magical realism  is a style of fiction that paints a realistic view of the modern world while also adding magical elements. It is often called fabulism, as it often uses fables, myths and legends. The term is most often used to refer to fiction or literature. One artist of this genre describes it as “what happens when a highly detailed, realistic setting is invaded by something too strange to believe”. This genre stems from Latin American literature and the characters within the genre go through a completely different perspective from what any other person would call “objective”.  [...]

Found almost anywhere including grocery stores, gas stations, vending machines and even our homes, food packaging labels are quite simply labels used to draw the attention of consumers, drive sales and build a brands recognition. Food packaging labels are similar to other packing labels but they contain information about the food that is about to enter our bodies. They convince us whether or not this is the right product to consume. Food packaging labels are used by companies to inform and convince consumers to buy the product. When food packaging labels are used, they attract more views and potential sales. Consumers walk through grocery stores browsing food items, purchasing those that appeal most to their taste, lifestyle, and moral values. [...]
