Very marykate "moving out" episode 1

     Very Marykate is a web series created by Elaine Carroll.In it, she acts the part of Marykate Olsen,the famous,skinny,child star twin(if you don't know who she and her twin are,then you're missing out on some awesome acting skills and believable movie plots).I find this series funny because although I,like many little girls,was obsessed with them as a child, there are certain quirks that the twins share.One, of course,is their tiny frame that many have speculated to be from anorexia.This is mentioned in the video where Marykate asks her sister for sugar and Ashley says its fattening.They are the most famous twins in the world and that is showcased in the clip where Marykate says that she wants to be "her own person". Because they have lived in the spotlight and are bazillionares,they are made fun of for being out of touch as seen where Marykate tells her Ashley that she can still exist if she wants.This video is funny because the actress is playing someone who is noticeable and is over exagerating their quirky qualities.It is also funny when she does a play on words and acknowledges certain social dogmas when she says" like nuns are sisters or black people are sisters".It is also funny when she just says absurd stuff like "we cant be twins forever".
      Instead of just coming out and saying things like the Olsen twins are weird and live in their own little world,the video shows a situation as a serious thing that could actually happen in their lives.This is humorous because it allows the audiences to imagine and have a scenario in their heads of the claims that are made about the twins.You know the video is meant to be humorous because everything is an exaggeration,from their facial features to the topic they are discussing.It is social commentary on people that we all know.
