Comedy film is a genre of film in which the main emphasis is on humor. Also, films in
this style typically have a happy ending. One of the oldest genres in film, some of the
very first silent movies were comedies. Comedy, unlike other film genres, puts much
more focus on individual stars, with many former stand-up comics transitioning to the
film industry due to their popularity. While many comedic films are lighthearted stories
with no intent other than to amuse, others contain political or social commentary (such as
Wag the Dog and Man of the Year).

[edit] Types
A comedy of manners film satirises the manners and affectations of a social class, often
represented by stock characters. The plot of the comedy is often concerned with an illicit
love affair or some other scandal. However, the plot is generally less important than its
witty dialogue. This form of comedy has a long ancestry, dating back at least as far as
Much Ado about Nothing by William Shakespeare.

In a "fish out of water"-style comedy, the main character (or characters) finds himself in
an unusual environment, which drives most of the humor. Situations can be swapping
gender roles, as in Tootsie (1982); an age changing role, as in Big (1988); a freedom-
loving individual fitting into a structured environment, as in Police Academy (1984); a
rural backwoodsman in the big city, as in Crocodile Dundee, and so forth.
A parody or spoof film is a comedy that satirizes other film genres or classic films. Such
films employ sarcasm, stereotyping, mockery of scenes from other films, and the
obviousness of meaning in a character's actions. Examples of this form include Blazing
Saddles (1974), Airplane! (1980), and Young Frankenstein (1974).

The anarchic comedy film uses nonsensical, stream-of-consciousness humor which often
lampoons some form of authority. Films of this nature stem from a theatrical history of
anarchic comedy on the stage. Well-known films of this sub-genre include Duck Soup
(1933), National Lampoon's Animal House (1978) and Monty Python and the Holy Grail
(1975).

The black comedy film deals with normally taboo subjects, including, death, murder,
suicide and war, in a satirical manner. Examples include Arsenic and Old Lace (1944),
Monsieur Verdoux (1947), Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949), The Ladykillers (1955), Dr.
Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964), The Loved
One (1965), MASH (1970), Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (1983), The War of the
Roses (1989), Heathers(1989), and Keeping Mum(2005).

Gross-out films are a relatively recent development, and rely heavily on vulgar, sexual or
"toilet" humour. Examples include Porky's (1982), Dumb and Dumber (1994), There's
Something About Mary (1998), and American Pie (1999).

The romantic comedy sub-genre typically involves the development of a relationship

between a man and a woman. The stereotyped plot line follows the "boy-gets-girl", "boy-
loses-girl", "boy gets girl back again" sequence. Naturally there are innumerable variants
to this plot, and much of the generally light-hearted comedy lies in the social interactions
and sexual tensions between the pair. Examples of this style of film include It's a
Wonderful World (1939), The Shop Around the Corner (1940), Sabrina (1954), When
Harry Met Sally... (1989), Pretty Woman (1990), and Four Weddings and a Funeral
(1994).

It was not uncommon for the early romantic comedy film to also be a screwball comedy
film. This form of comedy film was particularly popular during the 1930s and 1940s.
There is no consensus definition of this film style, and it is often loosely applied to
slapstick or romantic comedy films. Typically it can include a romantic element, an
interplay between people of different economic strata, quick and witty repartee, some
form of role reversal, and a happy ending. Some examples of the screwball comedy are:
It Happened One Night (1934), Bringing Up Baby (1938), Philadelphia Story (1940), His
Girl Friday (1940), and more recently What's Up, Doc? (1972).

[edit] Hybrid genres

• Action comedy films blend comic antics and action where the film stars combine
wit and one-liners with a thrilling plot and daring stunts. The genre became a
specific draw in North America in the eighties when comedians such as Eddie
Murphy started taking more action oriented roles such as in 48 Hours and Beverly
 Hills Cop. These type of films are often buddy films, with mismatched partners
such as in Midnight Run, Rush Hour and Hot Fuzz. slapstick martial arts films
became a mainstay of Hong Kong action cinema through the work Jackie Chan
among others. It may also focus on superheroes such as The Incredibles &
Hancock.

• Comedy horror is a type of horror film in which the usual dark themes are
treated with a humorous approach. These films are either use goofy horror clichés
such as in The Old Dark House, Young Frankenstein, Little Shop of Horrors,
Haunted Mansion and Scary Movie where campy styles are favoured. Some are
much more subtle and don't parody horror, such as Shaun of the Dead. Another
style of comedy horror can also rely on over the top violence and gore such as in
Dead Alive (1992), Evil Dead (1981), and Club Dread. The Bollywood
Blockbuster "Bhool Bhulaiya" was yet another example.

• Fantasy comedy films are types of films that uses magic, supernatural and or
mythological figures for comic purposes. Most fantasy comedy includes an
element of parody, or satire, turning many of the fantasy conventions on their
head such as the hero becoming a cowardly fool, the princess being a klutz.
Examples of these films include Being John Malkovich, Night at the Museum,
Groundhog Day, Click and Shrek.

• Sci-fi comedy films, like most hybrid genre of comedy use the elements of
science fiction films to over the top extremes and exaggerated science fiction
stereotypical characters. Popular examples of these types of films include Back to
the Future, Ghostbusters, Evolution, Innerspace, Galaxy Quest, Mars Attacks!,
and Men in Black.

[edit] History
[edit] 1895–1930

Comedic films began to appear in significant numbers during the era of silent films,
roughly 1895 to 1930. The visual humor of these silent films relied on slapstick and
burlesque. A very early comedy short was Watering the Gardener (1895) by the Lumière
brothers. In American film, the most prominent comic actors of the silent era were
Charlie Chaplin (although born in England, his success was principally in the U.S.),
Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd. In his native France and throughout the world, Max
Linder was a major comic feature and might qualify as the first true film star.

A popular trend during the 1920s and afterward was comedy in the form of animated
cartoons. Several popular characters of the period received the cartoon treatment. Among
these were Felix the Cat, Krazy Kat, and Betty Boop. Comedy film is a genre of film in
which the main emphasis is on humor. Also, films in this style typically have a happy
ending. One of the oldest genres in film, some of the very first silent movies were
comedies. Comedy, unlike other film genres, puts much more focus on individual stars,
with many former stand-up comics transitioning to the film industry due to their
popularity. While many comedic films are lighthearted stories with no intent other than to
amuse, others contain political or social commentary (such as Wag the Dog and Man of
the Year

[edit] 1930–1950s

Toward the end of the 1920s, the introduction of sound into movies made possible
dramatic new film styles and the use of verbal humor. During the 1930s the silent film
comedy was replaced by dialogue from film comedians such as the W. C. Fields and the
Marx Brothers. The comedian Charlie Chaplin was one of the last silent film hold-outs,
and his films during the 1930s were devoid of dialogue, although they did employ sound
effects.

Screwball comedies, such as produced by Frank Capra, exhibited a pleasing, idealised

climate that portrayed reassuring social values and a certain optimism about everyday
life. Movies still included slapstick humor and other physical comedy, but these were
now frequently supplemental to the verbal interaction. Another common comedic
production from the 1930s was the short subject. Hal Roach Studio specialized in this
form. While Columbia was prolific, producing 190 Three Stooges releases, alone. These
non-feature productions only went into decline in the 1950s when they were migrated to
the television.

In the United Kingdom, film adaptations of stage farces were popular in the early 1930s,
while the music hall tradition strongly influenced film comedy into the 1940s with Will
Hay and George Formby among the top comedy stars of the time. In England in the late
1940s, Ealing Studios achieved popular success as well as critical acclaim with a series of
films known collectively as the "Ealing comedies", from 1946 to 1956. They usually
included a degree of social comment, and featured ensemble casts which often included
Alec Guinness or Stanley Holloway. Among the most famous examples were Kind
Hearts and Coronets (1949), The Lavender Hill Mob (1951) and The Ladykillers (1955).

With the entry of the United States into World War II, Hollywood became focused on
themes related to the conflict. Comedies portrayed military themes such as service, civil
defense, boot-camp and shore-leave. The war-time restrictions on travel made this a
boom time for Hollywood, and nearly a quarter of the money spent on attending movies.

The post-war period was an age of reflection on the war, and the emergence of a
competing medium, the television. In 1948 TV began to acquire commercial momentum
and by the following year there were nearly a hundred television transmitters in American
cities.

By the 1950s the television industry had become a serious competition for the movie
industry. Despite the technological limitations of the TV medium at the time, more and
more people chose to stay home to watch the television. The Hollywood studios at first
viewed the TV as a threat, and later as a commercial market. Several comedic forms that
had previously been a staple of movie theaters transitioned to the TV. Both the short
subject and the cartoon now appeared on the TV rather than in the theater, and the "B"
movie also found its outlet on the television.

As TV became filled with family-oriented comedies, the 1950s saw a trend toward more
adult social situations. Only the Walt Disney studios continued to steadily release family
comedies. The release of comedy films also went into a decline during this decade. In
1947 almost one in five films had been comedic in nature, but by 1954 this was down to
ten percent.

The 1950s saw the decline of past comedy stars and a certain paucity of new talent in
Hollywood. Among the few popular new stars during this period were Judy Holliday and
the comedy team phenom of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Lewis followed the legacy of
such comedians as Keaton and Harold Lloyd, but his work was not well-received by
critics in the United States (in contrast to France where he proved highly popular.)

The British film industry produced a number of highly successful film series, however,
including the Doctor series, the St. Trinian's films and the increasingly bawdy Carry on
films. John and Roy Boulting also wrote and directed a series of successful satires,
including Private's Progress (1956) and I'm All Right, Jack (1959). As in the United
States, in the next decade much of this talent would move into television.

A number of French comedians were also able to find an English speaking audience in
the '50s, including Fernandel and Jacques Tati.

[edit] 1960s–1980s

The next decade saw an increasing number of broad, star-packed comedies including It's
a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963), Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines
(1965) and The Great Race (1965). By the middle of the decade, some of the 1950s
generation of American comedians, such as Jerry Lewis, went into decline, while Peter
Sellers found success with international audiences in his first American film The Pink
Panther. The bumbling Inspector Clouseau was a character Sellers would continue to
return to over the next decade.

Toward the end of the 1950s, darker humor and more serious themes had begun to
emerge, including satire and social commentary. Dr. Strangelove (1964) was a satirical
comedy about Cold War paranoia, while The Apartment (1960), Alfie (1966) and The
Graduate (1967) featured sexual themes in a way that would have been impossible only a
few years previously.

In 1970 the black comedies Catch 22 and M*A*S*H reflected the anti-war sentiment then
prevalent, as well as treating the sensitive topic of suicide. M*A*S*H would be toned
down and brought to television in the following decade as a long-running series.
Among the leading lights in comedy films of the next decade were Woody Allen and Mel
Brooks. Both wrote, directed and appeared in their movies. Brooks' style was generally
slapstick and zany in nature, often parodying film styles and genres, including Universal
horror films (Young Frankenstein), westerns (Blazing Saddles) and Hitchcock films
(High Anxiety). Following his success on Broadway and on film with The Odd Couple
playwright and screenwriter Neil Simon would also be prominent in the 1970s, with films
like The Sunshine Boys and California Suite. Other notable film comedians who appeared
later in the decade were Richard Pryor, Steve Martin and Burt Reynolds.

Most British comedy films of the early 70s were spin-offs of television series, including
Dad's Army and On the Buses. The greatest successes, however, came with the films of
the Monty Python team, including And Now For Something Completely Different (1971),
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) and Monty Python's Life of Brian in 1979.

In 1980 the gag-based comedy Airplane!, a spoof of the previous decade's disaster film
series was released and paved the way for more of the same including Top Secret! (1984)
and the Naked Gun films. Popular comedy stars in the '80s included Dudley Moore, Tom
Hanks, Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd. Many had come to prominence on the American
TV series Saturday Night Live, including Bill Murray, Steve Martin and Chevy Chase.
Eddie Murphy made a success of comedy-action films including 48 Hrs. (1982) and the
Beverly Hills Cop series (1984–1993).

Also popular were the films of John Hughes such as Ferris Bueller's Day Off. He would
later become best-known for the Home Alone series of the early 1990s. The latter film
helped a revival in comedies aimed at a family audience, along with Honey, I Shrunk the
Kids and its sequels.

[edit] 1990s–2000s

One of the major developments of the 1990s was the re-emergence of the romantic
comedy film, encouraged by the success of When Harry Met Sally... in 1989. Other
examples included Sleepless in Seattle (1993), Clueless (1995) and You've Got Mail
(1998) from the United States, and Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994), Sliding Doors
(1998) and Notting Hill (1999) from the United Kingdom. Spoofs remained popular as
well, especially with the Scary Movie series and Not Another Teen Movie.

Probably more representative of British humour were the working class comedies
Brassed Off (1996) and The Full Monty (1997). Other British comedies examined the role
of the Asian community in British life, including Bhaji on the Beach (1993), East is East
(1999), Bend It Like Beckham (2002) and Anita and Me (2003).

Also there were "stoner" comedies, which usually involve two guys on an adventure with
random things happening to them along the way. Big movies of this sub-genre would be
Dude, Where's My Car, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, and Pineapple Express.
These movies usually have drug-related jokes and crude content.
Another development was the increasing use of "gross-out humor" usually aimed at a
younger audience, in films like There's Something About Mary, American Pie and its
sequels, and Freddy Got Fingered. In mid 2000s the trend of "gross-out" movies is
continuing, with adult-oriented comedies picking up the box office. But serious black
comedies (also known as dramatic comedies or dramedies) were performing also well,
such as The Weather Man, Broken Flowers and Shopgirl. In late 2006, Borat: Cultural
Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan blended vulgar
humor with cultural satire.

More recently, there have been more sex comedies like (mostly Judd Apatow-made)
Superbad and The 40-Year-Old Virgin.
