"Thank Friday! It's God!"


Who does this punch-line “Thank God Its Friday refer to?”

The intertexuality this phrase is relevant to a famous punch-line that everyone one is fimilar of. In order to find this joke funny, people must be aware of the punch-line, if not they will not get the joke. The particular punch-line Thank God Its Friday refers to the hard-working class who has been working all week long who deserves a break. When Friday comes they want to release some of the stress they have gathered from their workplace all week long. Some may go out for drinks to relieve some of this stress, while others may just need to be in a quiet room to themselves.

"Friday, get help! Get help!” is a form of social language because Robinson Crusoe is crying for help. According to the exclamation points he needs the help immediately and urgently. We can tell that Robinson Crusoe is in need of some type of assistance. Someone who just got of their coma would not be silently crying for help. "Thank Friday! It's God!" is also a form of social language because it is a form of relief because God has finally come to rescue him. Technically, why do people say that Thank God It’s Friday! This is some form of relief to them because their weekday has ended and their weekend begins Friday. Why couldn’t people say Thank God Its Sunday or any other particular day! Sunday is the last day of the week.

Not knowing what else to do, he went outside of Crusoe's tent and danced and prayed for the gods to come and help his master. "Who is that?" "Thank Friday! It's God!" According to the previous text, Friday has danced and prayed and called upon the gods. In reality can a person really do that? Yes, a person can pray to a god but the god doesn’t physically appear, but he will always be there in spirit.
