Slapstick Comedy

Slapstick comedy is a sub-genre of comedy that relies on exaggerated and often physical humor. It is characterized by broad, boisterous, and sometimes nonsensical comedy, often relying on over-the-top and outrageous actions or reactions from characters. Slapstick comedy often involves comedic situations, such as falls, collisions, and other physical actions, used to generate laughter. This type of comedy is often used to contrast against more sophisticated or clever humor, often providing a visceral, engaging experience for viewers. Popular movies like 'White Chicks,' 'That's My Boy,' and 'The Mask' are some of the best examples of this sub-genre.
