The video I fond on youtube.com depicts an actor dressing up as a memorable past American Idol contestant. The way the actor dresses up is similar to Alex Bag's style because he wears many wigs throughout the video. By using the wigs, the actor makes it easier for us to identify the person who he is critiquing. Bag did this by changing wigs for each performance. If she was a college art student full of angst she would wear a short bob and if she needed to portray snotty english retail workers she chose bright neon colored wigs. I also think that the artists share a common goal. Through humor, the videos create a social commentary of the characters. Like Bag comments on the cliche thinking of young students, comedian Eric Schwartz comments on the mania that is American Idol and forces the audience to look at how America responds to entertainment as a whole. Often times we are lost in the hype of television and celebrity. Both videos address issues through humor so that the audience can be drawn in and entertained, but also forces us to think about their motives.
