 | | Only the Walt Disney studios continued to steadily release family comedies. | | | Other British comedies examined the role of the Asian community in British life, including Bhaji on the Beach (1993), East is East (1999), Bend It Like Beckham (2002) and Anita and Me (2003). | | | Many of these were based around teenagers attempts to lose their virginity, a theme that would surface again in the late 1990s. |

| | Comedies are light-hearted dramas, crafted to amuse, entertain, and provoke enjoyment. | | | Slapstick was predominant in the earliest silent films, since they didn't need sound to be effective, and they were popular with non-English speaking audiences in metropolitan areas. | | | Tim Burton's dark and imaginative haunted house comedy Beetlejuice (1988) featured Michael Keaton as the title character in a dream house occupied by newlywed spirits Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin. |

| | At country festivals held in celebration of the vintage it was the custom for people to pass from village to village, some in carts, uttering the crude jests and abuse unjustly attributed to the tragic choruses; others on foot, bearing aloft the phallic emblem and singing the praises of Phales, the comrade of Bacchus. | | | The grandest tragedies of Æschylus and Sophocles, the noblest passages of Homer, and the most beautiful lyrics of Pindar and Simonides were freely parodied, and in the same way were treated subjects taken directly from ancient mythology. | | | The period of the middle comedy extended from the close of the Peloponnesian war to the enthralment of Athens by Philip of Macedon; that is to say, from the closing years of the fifth to nearly the middle of the fourth century BCE. |

| | The UVic Writer's Guide: Comedy |
| | In "high" comedy, human folly arouses intellectual amusement as well as engaging the emotions; whereas "low" comedy arouses laughter through jokes and clowning that have more appeal to the emotions than the intellect. | | | Instead of being isolated like tragic heroes, comic protagonists are comfortable with their society, or become so; and their success is brought about through cooperation with others. | | | Comedy depicts humorous incidents in which protagonists are faced with moderate difficulties but overcome them and the play ends happily. |
