I agree that comedy can be used as a coping mechanism, something a step above an escape. Also, my favorite person who was on SNL has to be Norm Macdonald, very underrated.

I never really watched cable that had those cool cartoons because my house didn’t have it. I only knew the cool shows because of my best friend who lives in my neighborhood. We bonded even closer because of the shows we watched. Once Upon a Time, Powerpuff Girls, etc. all from her tv.

Lauren’s story emphasizes how having an escape, an alternate world to run to when one is feeling hopeless, angry, or upset, enables that person to rise above the criticism and condescending nature of others. Similar to the way in which Lauren finds her escape through television, I find my escape through dance, exercise, and music, which allows me to gain a new sense of confidence and pride regardless of what other people think of me.
