Q & A

Why is Cody so upset about Ken's injury?

Cody is extremely attached to his doll, Ken, and treats him as a real person. His emotional response to Ken's injury, which is just a minor fall, is exaggerated for comedic effect. Cody's attachment represents his inability to separate fantasy from reality, which the other characters find both funny and puzzling.

How do Junior and Joseph try to cheer up Cody after Ken 'dies'?

After Ken 'dies', Junior and Joseph try several methods to cheer up Cody. They suggest having a sleepover, distract him with TV, and even buy a new doll (another Ken) to replace the old one. However, nothing seems to ease Cody's grief until they 'revive' the original Ken.

What role does the 'doctor' play in the scene, and how does he attempt to fix Ken?

The 'doctor' is actually a character who pretends to perform surgery on Ken to save him. He uses absurd methods, like a drill, hammer, and double-sided tape, which fail to fix the doll but add to the ridiculousness of the situation. His incompetence is part of the humor in the scene.

Why do Junior and Joseph bury Ken in the backyard?

When Cody believes that Ken has died after his fall, Junior and Joseph agree to bury him to fulfill Cody's request for a proper burial. They end up burying Ken in an ant hill, which is both a humorous and lazy solution to satisfy Cody's mourning.

What is the significance of Ken's clothes in the plot?

Ken's clothes play a crucial role when Junior and Joseph 'revive' him. They warn Cody not to remove Ken's clothes, implying that the only reason the 'resurrection' worked was because the clothes somehow held the doll together. This is another absurd twist, adding to the humor of the situation.

How does the slinky malfunction in the playroom, and what is the group's reaction?

Cody expects the slinky to 'walk' down the stairs, but instead, it simply tumbles down. The group doesn't understand why the slinky isn't working as expected, leading to confusion and ridicule. This moment highlights the characters' childlike ignorance and adds to the playful atmosphere of the scene.

What does Cody's attachment to Ken say about his character?

Cody's extreme attachment to Ken shows that he has a strong imagination and an inability to differentiate between fantasy and reality. It also highlights his vulnerability, as he is deeply affected by the 'death' of his doll, suggesting that he is emotionally sensitive and possibly lonely.

Why do Junior and Joseph choose to buy a new Ken doll?

Junior and Joseph decide to buy a new Ken doll in an attempt to replace the one Cody believes is dead. They hope that having a new 'Ken' will make Cody happy again, though they are aware that no new doll can truly replace the original one.

What is the significance of the phrase 'That's what she said' in the scene?

The phrase 'That's what she said' is a comedic callback to a common joke where a seemingly innocent comment is taken in a sexual or double entendre manner. In this scene, it is used when Junior makes a comment about a 'bulging piece' and Joseph humorously responds with the line, adding to the childish and immature humor of the situation.

How does the scene use absurd humor to create comedy?

The scene uses absurd humor in several ways, including the unrealistic and over-the-top reactions to Ken's injury, the ridiculous 'surgery' performed by the doctor, and the completely nonsensical methods used to 'fix' the doll. These absurdities, combined with exaggerated emotions and childish logic, create a comedic atmosphere that is both chaotic and humorous.
