Sketch comedy consists of a series of short comedy scenes or vignettes,
called sketches, commonly between one and ten minutes long. Such
sketches are performed by a group of comedic actors, either on stage
or through an audio or visual medium such as broadcasting.
Often sketches are first improvised by the actors and written down based
on the outcome of these improv sessions improvisation is not necessarily
involved in all sketch comedy.
An individual sketch or vignette is a brief
scene or skit formerly used in vaudeville and used today on variety shows,
comedy programs, adult entertainment, talk shows, or certain children's
television programs. Such a sketch can include footage of a
man on the street on evening comedy television interview programs like
the Tonight Show.
Humour is the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke
laughter and provide amusement. Many theories exist about what humour
is and what social function it serves. People of most ages and cultures
respond to humour. The majority of people are able to be amused, to
laugh or smile at something funny, and thus they are considered to have
a sense of humour.
The term derives from the humoural medicine of the ancient Greeks, which
stated that a mix of fluids known as humours, chymos, literally juice or sap
metaphorically, flavour controlled human health and emotion.
A sense of
humour is the ability to experience humour, although the extent to which
an individual will find something humorous depends on a host of variables,
including geographical location, culture, maturity, level of education,
intelligence, and context.
For example, young children may possibly favour slapstick, such as
Punch and Judy puppet shows or cartoons. Satire may rely more on
understanding the target of the humour, and thus tends to appeal to more
mature audiences. Nonsatirical humour can be specifically termed
recreational drollery.
The American Misfits video is a random pile of skits, skateboarding and
whatever else Jason Wee Man, Acuna and Laban Pheidias could think to
film. Sort of similar to the CKY videos, only raunchier and less funny, the
American Misfits video is a disappointment. Still, the American Misfits
video has more skateboarding than Jackass, and more turd eating and
nudity than the CKY videos, so for someone out there this is just the video
you've been searching for.
