The School Bully

In this key and peele skit, one school bully seems surprisingly "in touch" with his feelings. The bully confronts the kid he is picking on and then fully explains why he is picking on him and lets the kid in on all of his problems. This skit is kind of ironic because most bullies do the opposite, as in act all tough and scary, when this bully seems vulnerable while still trying to act like he is tough. The video comments on how society tends to excuse bullies from bad actions once they are give an excuse as to why they are doing this. 

I think this skit is an example of situational irony. In this skit, what you would expect to be happening when someone is being bullied is actually the opposite. You would expect that the bully be mean and hurtful towards the kid, but instead he lets out all his feelings and personal dilemmas to the kid. Society portrays bullies in a specific way but in this video he contradicts the way that bullies.

The skit ultimately criticizes the way that people view bullies in society. It portrays the bully as vulnerable and open to his issues which is not how society views bullies.
