SlapStick Comedy
Slapstick is a type of physical comedy characterized by
broad humour, absurd situations and vigorous, usually
violent actions. Outrageous make-believe violence has always
been a key attraction of slapstick comedy.
Slapstick seems to have first come into use in the 16th
century, when Harlequin, one of the principal characters of
the Italian Commedia DellArte, used it on the posteriors of
his comedic victims.
