This is what oftentimes makes Narration so fundamentally funny , ie because the show designer took themselves so seriously in the first place . We find a intellectually uncreative show Drum Corps or Band show designer that believed he is bringing creative " intellectual" gravitas to his design by the utilization of what generally turns out to be insipid talking points to explain verbally what could not be effectively communicated via music and visual alone . The show designer isn ' t intellectual or sophisticated at all . He has dumbed down his product to an audience he believed is too dumb to appreciate his 'cleverness' without talking points usually played over the music . It is this level of disconnect with audiences. Some of whom are actually convinced that this is an Intellectual and sophisticated show with the addition of talking points that makes the enterprise so ironically silly and funny,imo Edited May 8, 2014 by BRASSO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
