Milo Murphy's Law Character Analysis
I’ve always had something against shows that follow a specific formula because they felt likelike unoriginal cash grabs, but Phineas and Ferb (PF) seemed different. Although PF follows the format of “boys do insane thing, unrelated villain destroys it,” there are a lot of gags that really don’t add to the plot, such as “I know what we’re going to do today!” that make the show interesting. This extra element is a little nod to the viewer and I agree with Mittell that this acknowledgement of their intelligence differentiates PF from other programming. The creators of PF, Jeff Marsh and Dan Povenmire, released a new children’s show last year, Milo Murphy’s Law (MML), with the same “basic format with additional running jokes” structure as PF,

    Nichols and May’s skills as storytellers lie in their understanding of human relationships, a mastery that is expressed in the sketch through their delivery of character. The improvisational nature of Nichols and May’s dynamic is apparent in the conversational tone of this sketch. Nichols and May play off each other well and develop the relationship between the mother and son in a short amount of time. The dysfunction of this relationship drives the scene by creating conflict, which the characters exploit to the fullest extent. For instance, the mother in the sketch begins the call normally and proceeds to guilt trip her son with hyperbolized ¬¬reactions. May’s delivery emphasizes the nagging, worrisome traits of the character. The exaggeration of her character’s dysfunction is the focus of humor in the skit. However, once the sketch breaks down to reveal the emotional truth of the characters, the growing distance in the relationship between mother and son, a sense of gravitas hits the audience and asks us to consider our the…

    In the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, by Ken Kesey, Nurse Ratched is a psychopath.

First, Nurse Ratched is a psychopath because she shows no signs of empathy or remorse towards the patients. During the novel, Nurse Ratched allows the aides to get away with anything they please.
