Sophomoric Humor Film
Film Sophomoric humor is that which is juvenile, puerile,
and base—the kind normally expected of an adolescent, for example. It is a type
of comedy that often includes toilet humor and gags that are based on and
appeal to a silly sense of immaturity. The word sophomoric, an adjective dating
from 1813, is used to refer to and describe something or someone that is
conceited, overconfident, poorly informed and immature, as characterized by a
stereotypical sophomore. The phrase can be derisive, but is also used to refer
to a style or vein of comedic act.
A sophomoric view is one held confidently because of lack
of awareness of one's own ignorance. From the Greek words σοφός (transliterated
as sophós), meaning wise or clever, and μωρός (transliterated as mōrós) meaning
foolish or stupid, related to the word moron. A sophomore is a second-year high
school student in a four-year course of study. The term originated in England,
but is now used principally in the United States.
American film director Judd Apatow's work, including The
40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up and Funny People, has been described as using
sophomoric humor, drawing laughs for jokes about sex, penises, and bodily
functions. A critique of John Steinbeck's The Short Reign of Pippin IV by Peter
Lisca describes the story as lacking the burlesque humor of Tortilla Flat, the
Rabelaisian humor of "St. Katy the Virgin," the folk humor of The
Grapes of Wrath, the tender humor of Cannery Row, the "terrible"
Swiftian humor of The Wayward Bus, and (instead) consisting of "a
sophomoric humor of grotesque improbability and wordplay."
