Character

This clip is from the show Parks and Recreation. This show is about people who work in the Parks and Recreation department for a town in Indiana. In this scene, Leslie tells Tom that she will take him out to lunch.

I think this shows Tom's charcter very well. You can see how he looks and you also get a taste of his personality. You can see how he's kind of goofy and funny. You can see how Leslie is confused by what he's saying, and you can hear his voice and how he talks. Obviously, his language is informal as he uses lots of 'slang,' if that's what you would call it. I like this scene because it shows Tom's character really well. I think he's very funny and this shows specifically how he's funny.

Specificity

This is a scene from the show Arrested Development. Throughout the show, there's an ongoing joke of the family always making chicken noises and dancing, but this is when the family all does it together. This is one of the most memorable scenes from the show because none of the "chicken noises" actually sound like a chicken. Additionally, none of the dances actually look like a chicken. It's funny because Michael finally points it out, and no one had said anything about it until then. Also, Gob comes in at the end and missed everyone dancing. This pretty much sums up Gob as a character, and it's really funny when it's just him and Tobias. The chicken dances are one of my favorite parts of the show, and this is the one I remember most because it's the funniest.
