	Comedy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Comedy has a classical meaning (comical theatre) and a popular one (the use of humour with an intent to provoke laughter in general).
		Comedy, in contrast, portrays a conflict or agon (Classical Greek ἀγών) between a young hero and an older authority, a confrontation described by Northrop Frye as a struggle between a "society of youth" and a "society of the old".
		The word "comedy" is derived from the Greek κωμοιδια, which is a compound either of κωμος (Classical Greek κῶμος) (revel) and ωιδος (singer), or of κωμη (village) and ωιδος: it is possible that κωμος itself is derived from κωμη, and originally meant a village revel.

	BBC - 1Xtra - TX Documentaries - Is black comedy a joke?
		There is a fl actress called T M Murphy who is not only a brilliant actress but one of the funniest comedians you will ever see, her comic genius is not so much stand up comedy but situation comedy.
		Black comics in the UK need more exposure; it's ok for them to talk about stereotypical subjects because many of them are just making light of personal situations which are not all the same, and they are funny because most of us can relate in some way.
		Black stand-up comedy must be A, B and C. Country music must be D, E and F. TV sitcoms must do G, H and I. Americans simply don't do 'alternative' or groundbreaking anymore and are seemingly addicted to cliche.

		Black history month is a way of acknowledging the role of fl Americans in the re-creation of American society after the catharsis of the civil war and the emancipation of those American citizens from southern states who had been, prior to the war, slaves.
		Black history month contributes to a sense of pride and achievement - it enhances the commitment of fls to their own community and assists the wider community in coming to know more about the lives and background of their fellow Americans.
		Certainly fl Americans have, in the end, to accept responsibility for their own behavior but to suggest that they started at anywhere nearly a equal footing with their white brothers and sisters is something few, even among the ranks of Neo Liberal theorists, would try to maintain.

		Comedies usually come in two general formats: comedian-led (with well-timed gags, jokes, or sketches) and situation-comedies that are told within a narrative.
		Comedies have also been classified in various subgenres, such as romantic comedy, crime/caper comedy, sports comedy, teen or coming-of-age comedy, social-class comedy, military comedy, fish-out-of-water comedy, and gross-out comedy.
		This is primitive and universal comedy with broad, aggressive, physical, and visual action, including harmless or painless cruelty and violence, horseplay, and often vulgar sight gags (e.g., a custard pie in the face, collapsing houses, a fall in the ocean, a loss of trousers or skirts, runaway crashing cars, people chases, etc).

	Review: `Black Comedy'
		Black comedy, fl humor, is tied to theater of the absurd, and the episodes Giles dramatizes, playing several roles, are bitterly painful, unfair, and absurd.
		With her 6-foot-1-inch body, clad in fl pants and jacket and long striped top, her sparkling and intense eyes, her expressive face, her active hands, and her thick mop of hair, this fine actress projects many moods.
		Giles gets racism from all sides, from whites consoling her with a second place, or with a tie in a contest with a white girl with long blonde hair that she flips, from the fl "brothers" who want her to move down to their house and be one of them and join the fl prom.

	The winning malice of Dave Chappelle. By Matt Feeney - Slate Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		A challenge, though, when watching Chappelle's Show, is to resist the temptation to grant it—because Chappelle is fl, and because he deals in harsh racial caricatures, and because you're laughing your ass off, and because you want to believe you're a progressive person—a political significance that it doesn't have.
		Chappelle's attempts to justify his comedy are fairly weak, generally withering in the unsparing philosophical light cast by your baby sitter when she told you that two wrongs don't make a right.
		This sketch riffs off a fl guy's view of a white guy's worst nightmare—the willful misunderstanding, the (literal) whiff of drugs and violence, the scalding indifference to white-bread niceness, the threat of sexual humiliation.

		Black Books is a second-hand bookshop in London run by an Irishman named Bernard Black.
		He is probably the planet's worst-suited person to run such an establishment: he makes no effort to sell, closes at strange hours on a whim, is in a perpetual alcoholic stupor, abhors his customers (sometimes physically abusing them) and is often comatose at his desk.
		Black Books arrived on screen two years after impressing at the fourth Channel 4 Sitcom Festival, held at the Riverside Studios in London in July 1998.

	Black : Comedy - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Seeking a U.S. breakthrough, A&M Records held Black's second album, Comedy, back from release until a re-recorded 1989 version of his U.K. hit "Wonderful Life" could be added as the leadoff track.
		Also included were the more recent U.K. chart singles "The Big One" and "Now You're Gone." All of which means that, in its U.S. version at least, Comedy was almost more of a hits compilation than a formal second album.
		That, however, lent it a certain consistency, and in its newer songs, the album showed Black moving away from the cocktail jazz and doomy lyrics of his debut and toward a more eclectic sound, as well as lighter, more romantic sentiments.

	FILM REVIEW -- Alienating `Black' Comedy / `Men in Black' too arch for own good
		The Fourth of July may be coming, but ``Men in Black'' is no ``Independence Day.'' This second annual Will-Smith- versus-the-aliens picture is a high-tech comedy, more along the lines of a tight little action movie than a bona fide blockbuster.
		Sonnenfeld uses odd angles and wide lenses to view the action with a sardonic eye, as if the onscreen events were a joke between director and audience.
		Everything is arch, and nothing is to be taken seriously except its set pieces: Smith battling the insect alien in the final scene, or the cute effect in the Brooklyn-Battery tunnel, in which K presses a button on his car and is suddenly driving on the walls.
