Comedy takes many forms on television including slapstick, parody, stand-up, and dark humor. Slapstick involves physical humor like tripping or falling. Parody spoofs real events or people in an exaggerated, funny way. Stand-up features a comedian telling jokes and stories directly to an audience. Dark humor approaches serious topics like death or violence in a satirical manner. Other comedy genres include reality shows, dramedies, silent films, hidden cameras, variety acts, and cartoons. Successful comedy avoids looking over-acted and finds the basic joke throughout.
