Five Common Types Of The Best Comedies

By Marlene Bass


Laughter is indeed the best medicine. It can help one in forgetting his problems or relieving from stress. At times, people become the best comediennes or comedians themselves. There are many kinds of the best comedies. The following are the five most common types.

The easiest and most common is the anecdote. This is sharing of any hilarious events or experiences one had or knew about. This may be a firsthand experience or anything one heard about. Usually, exaggerating the story or the way it is narrated make it sound even funnier.

Banter is another common type. This is any witty or playful remark. This is usually in response to a statement or a reaction that ridicules anything or anyone. There are some instances, however, when banter becomes very abusive.

A foolish mistake or a blunder is another type of comedy. Some people do it deliberately to make people laugh, while others do not know they were being funny already. The latter type makes the blunder even more hilarious, especially if a wider audience witnessed it.

An imitation of a person, musical composition or any forms of literature in a comical way is known as parody. Originally, the subjects are serious artwork but is delivered in a funny way. However, this is no longer funny if the spectators do not know who the subject of imitation was. Hence, the usual subjects of this type are the popular people or works.

Practical comedy, on the other hand, is a stunt, prank or trick used to victimize a person. The usual subjects of this kind are the innocent ones who does not have the slightest idea that they were being made fools. There had been many protests against this kind because of its inherent cruelty to their victims.

Being funny usually comes natural in a person. They might have said a funny line, did something hilarious or committed a stupid mistake. Whatever the case may be, laughing with the best comedies is good.
