	Prop comedy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prop comedy is a comedy genre that makes use of humorous objects, or conventional objects used in humorous ways.
		A 'prop comic' is a comedian who makes use of prop comedy.
		Prop comics are sometimes looked down upon by other comedians, and the term is sometimes used derisively.

		Prop comedy would be a demonstration of what would happen when the asteroid hits the earth, involving cream pies.

	The Memphis Flyer :: the mid-south's news weekly: City Beat: City Beat: The Dynamic Duo
		In the nearly extinct form of the comedy duo, the Smothers Brothers remain, serving as a golden-age snapshot of a stage style that could have advanced but was destroyed by dilettantes.
		Like all mediums of entertainment, comedy throws away its gimmicks and styles once they stop working, and they usually stop working at the hands of subpar performers.
		Examining the history of the comedy duo reveals a similar situation, and it also reveals how the Smothers Brothers, who'll be appearing Saturday at GPAC, have held on.

	Jamy Ian Swiss / For fans & magicians / Why Magic Sucks
		But consider the type of work that has come to be known as "comedy magic." I make a clear distinction between comedy magic and its lowly imitator, magic as prop comedy.
		Outstanding magicians who today work in settings alongside stand-up comedians make it a habit of including a magical payoff in much of their work, in the tradition of men like Jay Marshall, Johnny Thompson, and other masters of their ilk (though to be sure there are few of comparable stature).
		Consider Fielding's "Bob the Bird" routine, in which an item used by countless prop comic magicians for a quick laugh is in fact used to achieve a genuine magical effect -not to mention a huge laugh.

	dOc DVD Review: Bill Hicks Live: Satirist, Social Critic, Stand-up Comedian (2004)
		During the 1980s, there was an explosion of stand-up comedy that produced many of the most prominent comic actors of today, including Steve Martin, Robin Williams, and Eddie Murphy.
		Gallagher slammed watermelons and was the king of prop comedy.
		Throughout the Reagan years, Bill Hicks developed what he referred to as "the comedy of hate." He tackled the conservative right, the advertising industry, non-smokers, pro-lifers, mainstream pop culture, religious, fundamentalists, and the Warren Commission (the assassination of John F. Kennedy was a lifelong obsession).

		As you may surmise, plot is a rather freeform, stream-of-consciousness affair, a bothersome intrusion into the business of making physical comedy and sight gags.

		The No. 1 rule of TV comedy is that the camera not be "funnier" than the comic.
		Sankey's show was a refreshing blend of surrealism, cheesy prop comedy and outright foolishness -- sort of like an herbal tea spiked with grain alcohol.
		Sankey's closer, which featured his renditions of various psychological profiles (all of which were variations on a happy face) was a killer, and it speaks volumes about Sankey's originality and eye for cohesive structure.

	Carrot Top
		His shtick is prop comedy and despite the lack of affection he receives from the rest of show business, he’s always been popular with the college crowd.
		A lot of his props are more pun-related, but I always thought Gallagher, in his own way, had something.
		I think the props just came about as my own little way of expressing myself on stage because I wasn’t really comfortable telling jokes.
