Comedy

Comedy is a genre of literature, film, and performance that aims to provoke laughter and entertain through humor. It encompasses a variety of forms, including plays, films, television shows, and stand-up routines. Comedy often employs exaggerated characters, situational irony, puns, and absurdity to highlight the humorous aspects of human life and society. The primary goal of comedy is to amuse the audience, often addressing themes of love, relationships, societal norms, and human folly in a light-hearted or satirical manner. Types of comedy include romantic comedy, slapstick, dark comedy, and farce, among others. The effectiveness of comedy is often subjective, relying on cultural context, timing, and delivery.
