Which of the following is an explanatory thesis? Sitcoms are a low form of comedy, with no other purpose than to make people laugh using crude jokes. Reality TV, on the other hand, in its various forms, teaches us about human nature.

Watching what people will say and do in the real-life, unusual situations found in reality TV is more entertaining than the made-up, orchestrated situations of sitcoms.
