Genre confusion: Comedy


Comedy is a genre that uses humor as a driving force. The aim of comedy is to make the audience laugh through entertaining stories and characters. Comedy has the tendency to become a sub-genre because humor can be incorporated into many other genres.

The first drama that comes to my mind? Rooftop Prince. It's hilarious to watch characters from centuries back deal with the modern world.



And then there are movies like Formula 17 (which I didn't review on here yet - I need to watch that movie again first) that are simply hilarious and more like a parody - completely overdone with stereotypes. Parody actually is another genre but we can include it in comedy. It's similar and uses stereotyping to make people laugh, and it actually works as well.
