The distinctive features of national comedies

The distinctive features of national comedies.
American Comedy is usually funny, but stupid and naive. Everything works using techniques of exaggeration and hyperbole. Be sure to jokes about sex. Sometimes violence.
The French Comedy. A lot of beautiful girls. Too much melodrama, fantasies, and experiences. The humor is built around feelings.
Russian Comedy. A lot of cruelty, it's fun, sometimes there are elements of drama, often absurd.

British comedys are the most clever ones.

Comedy in USA is a joke.

British comedies care more about being 'clever' than funny. It's the vape nation of comedy.

Comedy = shit

>Serbian comedy
Relies on excessively vulgar swearing, examining relations within a formal power structure (government bureau, the army) and contrasting them with informal structures (the family, crime, subculture). Family dynamics (patriarchal, often subverted), rural tradition (esp. weddings) and male bonding play a large role in the plot. Supporting characters are often exaggeratedly stupid or passionate, and the antagonist is frequently also the protagonist's immoral superior. Drugs, weapons and violence are also frequently present, serving also to being about the inevitable tragic conclusion to every Serbian comedy.

it's a great tradition desu.

Yea, you get to the funny part through being clever.
Meanwhile in America, someone says someone else gay and its as funny as ever.
pic related, its the best you got and its trash

American toilet humour is the worst but they have diamonds in their pile of trash.

Loved French comedies as a kid.

Old Russian comedies too. No idea what do they film now.

>brazilian "comedy"

Modern Russian """"comedy""""'. Everyone drink, then drink more , then drink some more, then they fight, vomit and shout, then some lose conscious, all the rest continue drinking.

american comedy: everything turns out fine in the end for the main idiot character
british comedy: everything goes from bad to worse for the main idiot character
russian comedy: main character sent to gulag

That's too russian stereotype to be true

Just watch some modern Russian comedies. Бoльшaя pжaкa, Гopькo, Caмый лyчший дeнь, there are much more. I'm sure there are no subs for them, since no one in sane mind would want to watch this shit, but believe you wouldn't want to know what they say. Just watch the action. It's a very good way to start hating Russia and Russian people.

>comedy
Never watch these cos they're all shit

Yanks do slapstick fairly well
>Police Squad
>Naked Gun
>Airplane
>Blazing Saddles

Yea i liked it when i was younger, but this humour has aged bad.

>Italian comedy

Yea movies that market themselves as comedys are 9 out of 10 times trash.
The real funny stuff is often in dramas or thrillers, like a Coen movie if thats your cup of tea.

>american comedy: everything turns out fine in the end for the main idiot character

y-yeah...

wojack horseman was made to be the exception to the rule
it will have a mad men ending tho

There are exceptions to every rule but as a general rule of thumb most US comedy I've seen goes the way the previous guy described them.
Bojack is great though.

>cruelty
>it's fun

Seinfeld, it's always sunny in philadelphia, the increasingly stupid decisions of todd margret, arrested development.
All top tier comedies that do not pander to idiots

good post

bad post

>german comedy
Often build on speaking in a "funny" accent, wearing weird cloth and telling stories about the life of the comedians girlfriend and him with shitty pointes

Yes yes, i was exaggerating

>The real funny stuff is often in dramas or thrillers,

japanese humor - not funny at all
youtube.com/watch?v=AbkGhblkgYI

I agree with this.

You should watch some Mel Brookes.

Seen a 1960s Japanese comedy. 1% funny.

His stuff has aged kind of badly, i thought it was funny as a kid

Panel shows like Would I Lie to You?, and Never Mind the Buzzcocks. The 'game show' part is only there to move things along, so it's not just half an hour of standup comedy.

Norwegian comedies are usually toned down black comedy.

This was real funny

Japanese humour: 100% funny.

Oh shit, I forgot to actually post it.
