With amusement or pathos, engaging in any aspect of this sort of introspection serves as a memento mori: an exercise in remembering one's own death undertaken less flamboyantly than in the practices inaugurated by ancient religious orders — sleeping in coffins or displaying skulls on the mantel — yet still highly effective.

What follows is not so much a comedy set as an act of absurdist outsider art; Midge mocks men coming out of the bathroom, skulks around the stage like a Valkyrie and veers between pathos and one-liners so wildly that the crowd isn't sure whether to laugh or flee.

In its final six chapters, the Australian series went out with both humor and pathos, but no episode showcases how well it pulled off that tricky combination like "Degustation," a masterful episode following Josh (Thomas) and his parents (Debra Lawrance and David Roberts) enjoying a single, increasingly ridiculous gourmet meal.

Lucy's fierce first-person point of view is as confident and fearless as she is on the court; she narrates her story with the immediacy and sharpness of a sports commentator, mixed with the pathos and wisdom of a perceptive adolescent charting the perils of her senior year of high school.
|
|
But remarkably, the comic actor delivers not only on the character's humor, but his pathos — the picture's smart screenplay casts the relationship between the Dark Knight and his most frequent antagonist as one of mutual reliance and even codependence, with the Joker uproariously staging acts of villainy primarily for Batman's attention.
|
|
As one might expect, there is plenty of pathos running through "State Goods" since the exhibition addresses — as one series of drawings points out — the fact that justice is not blind, with nonwhites imprisoned at far higher rates than white people (and in many instances for longer sentences and lesser deeds).
|
|
There is so much comedy and pathos, not least in watching a regular guy like Frank Sheeran muscle his way across the seedy underside of the American century—even if he ends up paying a heavy toll for his hustle, including jail time, a guilty conscience, and a lonely death.
|

While the Beirut-born artist's 40-year career has consistently invited interpretation based in institutional critique and the real-world tumult so many of her works reference, it is equally constructive to consider her work from a psychological, rather than political, vantage — one driven by pathos much more than polemic.

Tim Laman spent three days climbing fig trees in the Indonesian forest, placing remotely triggered GoPro cameras above the canopy With a direct gaze that seems to reflect our own, Laman's subject also conveys a sense of intimacy and solitary pathos; significant perhaps if one considers the endangered status of the Bornean orangutan.

The Force Awakens sought to replicate that, to diminishing returns, but The Last Jedi harkens back to what made Star Wars so important in the first place — it's fun, it's kind of all over the place, but it's dripping with emotion and pathos and, most importantly, it tells a hell of a story.

The kid, to his credit, refuses, but daddy has a lesson about pathos and stabbing that he wants to impart, so we get to watch as the deer's eyes go dark and the boy learns something truly important that only a father can teach you — if you stab stuff, it will probably die.
|
|
The Maitlands' awkward fight to come to terms with their own deaths in Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands' alien-doll attempts to become a real boy, Ed Wood striving to create art in spite of his complete lack of talent — they all had real pathos to go with the wacky humor and frantic slapstick.
|
|
Only when the plot kicks in for real—when Logan roars back into the boardroom; when the wheels of conspiracy start to turn; when pathos emerges, as the stock drops and the stakes rise—does the show gain mythic dimensions, of empires at risk, fathers killing sons, Cordelias questioning Lears, and so on.
|
|
Watching the show can be like witnessing your most irritating neighbors, neurotic friends, and/or worst selves enacted in uncomfortably familiar settings—the show is shot in actual NYC apartments—for maximum laughs and, sometimes, an unexpected pathos that throws a light on the highs and lows of everyday life in the city.

In his artist's note, Bernstein defines bathos as: [T]he failure to achieve pathos — the failure to achieve catharsis and the ubiquitous sympathy associated with drama — bathos: to land in the ridiculous, to be ridiculed, or to ridicule oneself — to blame oneself, instead of finding relief or sympathy or blaming another or fate.

But his metaphysical vision causes him to neglect the material reality in front of him — the craven hunger of tech giants for personal data and influence over our decisions; the ways in which today's innovators have tried to prove their revolutionary bona fides by freighting their inventions with false myth and pathos.

"My only real input into this whole thing was having him really appeal to the pathos part of the triangle and be sensitive and cognizant of the 'details' of her life situation, as often in rhetoric of this type that is what is going to put him over the top, so to speak," he said.

Looking at Rodin's work in comparison with David's "Oath of the Horatii" (1784) — a foundational image in the French Academy — we can see that his male figures have evolved from pugilistic sword-wielding clones into thoughtful, even poetic individuals ("Age of Bronze," 1877; "Thinker") but his women continue to signify through sensuality and pathos.

"Rotten Tomatoes critic score (Season 2): 69%What critics said: "Season 2 doesn't fully follow on the brio the show displayed at the tail end of last season, but with a newfound pathos and lots of wit, Disenchantment has finally transmogrified into that rare beast of a TV show that leaves you asking for more.

One can appreciate such dangers of technology when you watch tourists at the Vatican lining up with their point-and-shoot cameras for Michelangelo's Pietà and see them spending their few seconds in front of the magnificent statue snapping a photo rather than taking in the pathos its creator was able to register in marble.

" Buy Grant here: Amazon | Barnes & Noble Of author Theodore Dreiser, Jim Fallows says, "It's remarkable that somebody who is as terrible a writer as he is sentence by sentence can be arguably the great powerful American novelist of just portraying the reality of American life in its aspirations and its humiliations and its pathos.

More on In Sight: Capturing the fading past of Tennessee's old-time country music 'A Familiar Place' is a dreamlike photographic love letter to Stockholm Over six years and 100,000 miles, this photographer sought out America's 'humor, pathos and humanity' SuperFan badge holders consistently post smart, timely comments about Washington area sports and teams.

But it also had the potential to be a giant embarrassment, and I was wary that Cats wouldn't be able to overcome either its own inherent quirkiness or the penchant of its director, Tom Hooper, to obliterate any emotional ebb and flow in his films and ratchet the pathos up to 11 at all times.

Salyut-7 isn't the most progressive film about women's roles: the wives are just there to provide tension and pathos, Svetlana (based on Svetlana Savitskaya, the first woman to walk in space) is only around long enough to endanger herself and be rescued, and the one prominent woman on the ground crew is constantly ignored and dismissed.
|

Throughout, Brown leafs through the diaries of the most famous people of the midcentury for the inevitable moment where Margaret swans through to say something casually outrageous, cocktail and cigarette firmly in hand — and for the moments of quiet pathos, where something monstrous is happening to Margaret and she is stiff-upper-lipping her way through it.

Neither book purports to be a comprehensive equi-story; instead, by arranging their narratives thematically rather than chronologically, both authors have granted themselves the freedom to range as widely as the ancient wild horses, the Takhi and the Tarpan, once did, grazing on a pasture rich in anecdote, allegory and pathos as well as in historical importance.

Lady Dynamite does this in a style that has reviewers dazzled by the breadth of shows it echoes: zany and dense with wordplay like Arrested Development, Louie-like in its experimentation and pathos, and shot through with the ghost of Strangers with Candy, arguably the only show in recent memory with a female lead character as unnerving to watch.
|

Rachel Bloom, who created the show and stars as Rebecca Bunch, a lawyer who gives up her job at a high-powered New York firm to move to West Covina, California, manages to find the perfect amount of humor and pathos in Rebecca's hysterical hijinks without shying away from the honest side effects of living with a mental illness.

Advertise on Hyperallergic with Nectar Ads Director Kate Valk and performer Eric Berryman's THE B-SIDE: "Negro Folklore from Texas State Prisons": A Record Album Interpretation reenacts a vinyl record with The Wooster Group's characteristic clinical precision, counting on the audience's preexisting awareness of American slavery and Jim Crow laws to lend the performance all the pathos necessary.

Whether it's the unruffled finesse of Bobby (Blue) Bland on "Going Down Slow," the quiet longing in Al Green's "I Can't Get Next to You," or Ann Peebles's lament in "I Can't Stand the Rain" — Ms. Bridgewater covers all three on her latest album — the singers and their ensembles prize a sense of dignity over pathos.
|

I admired "Play It as It Lays"—there isn't a closeted gay adolescent on the planet who wouldn't identify with its nihilism played out in the glare of glamorous privilege—but it didn't thrill me like "A Book of Common Prayer," which has a full-bodied pathos and yearning that Didion's other early fiction lacks or suppresses.
|

In addition to showcasing Breiding's photography practice, "A Portrait" is an intertextual and pleasurable genre-promiscuous work that extends her photographic work into video and installation, yielding an experiential pathos upon the quiet meditation she gifts to viewers on art, commerce, and her friendship with the late American photographer, writer, filmmaker, theorist, and critic Allan Sekula.

Her signature mood contradiction is that between heart and machine — there's a bionic, nearly antiseptic quality to the record that firmly transfers it from chartpop territory to the land of the Chromatics, who share with Shura a sweeping grandiosity undercut by musical artifice, yet at the same time her breathy vocals ache and yearn with fierce pathos.
|

That means that a character like the loser General Hux (Domhnall Gleeson as a marvelous sad sap), locked in his eternal battle with Kylo Ren for dominance and the attention of Supreme Commander Snoke (Andy Serkis), is the butt of many jokes, but he also has a glimmer of the unwanted pet dog about him that lends a little pathos to our scorn.

Shamelessness has always been this band's specialty, as they long ago crafted a distinct sound from glitzy fluorescent keyboards underpinning otherwise conventional crunchy rhythm guitar, plus punchy melodies whining their way into your head like Auto-Tuned worms through an apple, plus vocals so steeped in pathos that their overkill functions less like self-aggrandizement and more like a sly wink.

He offers us a reporter's notebook: the stinging tear gas and militarized police response to the protests over Brown's death; the pathos and sense of futility surrounding the killing of Tamir Rice; the outrage over the shooting of Walter Scott in North Charleston, S.C.; and the riots that broke out after the death in custody of Freddy Gray in Baltimore.

I'm extending a lot of pathos to an artist who, more often than not, defuses such sentiment via vaudeville-meets-Cabaret Voltaire-meets-Jerry Lewis performances — a symphony of electric can openers, for example — and an ongoing obsession with children's art that has consumed his energies over the last few years (and was the subject of his previous exhibition at the gallery).
|

Much of the show's humor and pathos (because this kind of series comes with a heavy dose of sentimentality, and "Cradle to Grave" tips to that side) is generated by Spud's losing battle against the economic realities of globalization, as shipping moves to the Continent — to Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, and to Hamburg, Germany — and the dock workers are offered increasingly attractive buyouts.
|

I don't think even Clements's most fervent admirers would rank it in his upper echelon — certainly, it lacks the larkishness and left-hook pathos of his classic "Frindle" — but it has the low-key geniality common to all his work, and it gives fried bookworms everywhere the satisfaction of knowing that friends may desert them (if only temporarily) but books never will.

Bosley Crowther wrote highly of the film in his review for The Times, saying, "The fullness of Dickens, of his stories and characters — his humor and pathos and vitality and all his brilliant command of atmosphere — has never been so illustrated as it is in this wonderful film, which can safely be recommended as screen story-telling at its best."

Nearly every successful sitcom that's been on the air since owes some debt to The Mary Tyler Moore Show's unique qualities: combining pathos and humor (The Office, Orange Is the New Black), depicting a professional woman and her workplace family (The Mindy Project, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), and exploring strong friendships between women (Living Single, Sex and the City, Broad City).

Righteously Orthodox, he traffics in the pathos of anti-Semitism (he dismissed J Street supporters as "worse than kapos," the Jewish trustees in Nazi concentration camps), mocks the Anti-Defamation League for criticizing anti-Semitic messaging in Mr. Trump's final campaign ad, and has cozied up to Republicans for whom being pro-Israel is tantamount to being pro-guns on the world stage.
|

A mockumentary hadn't felt as fresh since The Office—and, as People Just Do Nothing went on it also delivered unexpected amounts of pathos; last year's fourth series saw Grindah (played by Allan 'Seapa' Mustafa), Beats (Huge Chewgin) and Steves (Steve Stamp) on the cusp of losing the station, and Chabuddy (Asim Chaudry) forced to live out of his van.
