Slapstick: Physical humor, very exagerated.

Theres a lot of physical humor in this movie, Ace Ventura, because Jim Carrey does a lot of slapstick. By physical humor i mean alot of punching and hitting and it is all just overly exagerated and absured. An example of slapstick comedy that does not involve physical humor is the classic skit, "Whose on First?" this skit is probably one of the most famous comedic skits there are, it is so exagerated and absured but many people consider it very funny. The cartoon show, Family Guy, is a perfect example of slapstick because there is a large amount of exagerated violence in the show.

Irony: Contrary to what is expected. An example would be a "fire station on fire".

How the Grinch Stole Christmas – is an example of irony because the Grinch plans on ruining Christmas for everyone, but he ends up saving Christmas for all of the Whos.

Pun: Using a word that has a different meaning but similair sound. An example, "My boyfriend and I started to date after he backed his car into mine. We met by accident." the word "accident" is used but it is supposed to have two different meanings.

The fish missed the call because he was stuck on the other line.

this is another example because the word LINE is used to mean both a fishing line and a phone line.

Comedy: Using humor for entertainment. Comedy Central is a channel with only comedy on it made for entertainment.

Stand up is a form of comedy. Typically a stand up comedian will just preform in front of a live croud with pre planned jokes. Personally I am a fan of Stand up comedy.

Gabriel Iglesias is my favorite Stand up comedian.
