[QUOTE="Jasperak, post: 9222009, member: 2487"] Hyuck-hyuck humor? Like the Three Stooges. I almost think you also meant that there were parts of Last Crusade where there was almost supposed to be a laugh track? But there was! You can hear it right in John William's soundtrack. Ad Nauseam. What little humor there was in Temple often came from cultural unawareness and almost specifically from Willie. While that humor was not played for absurdity like in Last Crusade, it was maybe culturally insensitive where we're supposed to laugh at the white girl who can't stomach the thought of eating monkey brains. I think Willie is supposed to be the character from a western point of view that the audience is supposed to more identify with, unlike Indy who has been around the world and experienced for more than the audience was expected to have. So I wonder if we're laughing more at her than commiserating with her by putting ourselves in her slipperz? I believe this confusion in narrative function strikes a much different nerve than Last Crusade, and partially why it ranks so low on most people's listings. In Last Crusade we're supposed to laugh at Indy falling of the horse (remember John told us it was funny), but how are we supposed to feel during the dinner in the Maharaja's palace. Indy thinks Willie's reactions hilarious (fruit scene afterward), but what about us? The one thing Pulp is supposed to do is completely control our emotional involvement and reactions. [/QUOTE]
