2. Two sentences about the audience of the show? What would gamers think? Real gamers would think this game is ridiculous, and that Chardee Macdennis is not a real game because, for one, it allows cheating, unless one is caught. Secondly, it is just a random mish mash of every game, leading it to make no sense. This show would appeal most to those with an interest or understanding in board games, and those who actually play. The game itself is funny, so anyone with a slight sense of humor would enjoy the show. Specifically, people over twenty one who play board games, but do not play seriously can appreciate this game and show.
3. Instance which the game is used for humor
The dart board instance was so serious and insane that it was funny. Dennis gets a dart right into his hand, yet stays completely unfazed, making it funny. Another instance is that the game board is nailed down to the bar counter because Mac always gets mad and tries to flip it.
4. How did they make fun of board games?
-Throughout the game, the players are exaggerating and using satire to make fun of board game rules. For example, Frank gets locked in a dog cage, similarly to games that have a go to jail rule. Also, between each level, the players act like animals, screaming and shouting in order to get pumped up for each round. When looking at the rule book, there are at least four hundred and sixty three rules. This is making fun of how extensive and complicated board games can be.
