This one is going to be a bit of a walk, so I’m going to hold your hand while we traverse this. For ease and enjoyment, I have also identified the type of humor being used in each of the three annotations, lest we lose our ontological footings. (For example, the humor type utilized in the above sentences would be classified as “mild derision motivated by a sense of superiority”)
1) The Classic Tallboy:
Even as Addison’s criticism published in The Spectator in 1712 furthered the dissolution of the classical canon and laid the rudimentary foundations for modernity, those of traditional aristocratic upbringing and education still aligned sympathy with classical antiquities and, either through habit or class ideologies, preferred their domiciles to be constructed in the familiar fashion. Birds, naturally, have similar historo- cultural predilections.
(Humor Type: Dry, Deadpan)
2) The Loft District:
Eponymous with the famous area of Detroit, championed by Det. Fitch. Recent gentrification, sadly, has made housing in this area largely unaffordable to the very demographic of humans and avians most attracted to it. Cheep simulacrums, such as this one, have become ubiquitous in less desirable neighborhoods in Detroit, including Korean Town, The Northern Market Area, and Kwame Park.
(Humor Type: Esoteric, Sarcastic, Meta)
3) The Lopsided Dutchman
Obnoxiously contemporary, full or mayonnaise, and something about tourists and soft-core drugs, or whatever. This design satisfies the narrow niche between “Why not?” and “Hey. You agreed to this!”
(Humor Type: Topical Satire, Self-Loathing)
