Overall, this assignment on Entourage helped me understand the show that I love a lot better. This show is about a movie star, and his 3 best friends who he lives with, and his amazing life as a celebrity. I’ve realized that humor is a major part and subset to this show, and is used a lot to make the show addicting and fun to watch. Along with humor, the plot is also extremely interesting and grasps its audiences’ attention quite easily. The celebrity and his 3 best friends (including his brother Johnny Drama), all have many things in common. For example, they all have similar IQ’s, they all used to be poor, they even all went to school together, etc. However, only because Vincent Chase was extremely lucky to become an actor, all four of them got an amazing lifestyle. Eric Murphy got the splendid chance to be Vincent Chase’s personal manager and best friend. Johnny Drama is Vincent Chase’s elder brother, and Turtle is another close friend that lives with them. On the other hand, Ari Gold has one of the best personalities in the whole show. He is the funniest character on the show, and the smartest out of all the characters presented. He is also extremely wealthy, and grew up being wealthy as well.
