Four Types of Comedies

Physical




The Three Stooges - Curley's Sweater



The physical humor is found by how every few seconds one of them is being hit by the other. They're always getting into silly situations that cause them to wind up getting themselves hurt and it was an easy way to make a television show back then. It didn't require any technology other then sounds added in every time someone gets hit.

Situational



College Humor - Guy Stuck in Class


In this video the boy is stuck in class and his mind is running wild. He is thinking to himself the whole time though the viewer can hear everything. He falls asleep and is caught sleeping. Then he says something out loud that he shouldn't have. Many students can relate to the situation of being bored, almost as though they're stuck, in class.

Verbal




Seinfeld - The Soup Nazi

The "NO SOUP FOR YOU!" saying has been spread across the internet as a meme and is a well-known symbol of those who know about Seinfeld. It contains a built-up setting throughout the episode and mainly provides dialog. It is funny because they are denied the soup for speaking "out of line" to the soup nazi. He becomes very offended and hilarity ensues.

Ironic




Family guy - Over scene

Family guy is full of random scenes that are nearly unpredictable. In this scene the term "over" is used over, and over, and over, and over again. The punch line is at the end when Stewie doesn't understand what Brian said for not saying over after his message through the walkie-talkie. He finished by shouting over and pulling the wire down and Stewie with it.
