Slapstick is a type of comedy that centres around pratfalls and mild comic violence, like someone tripping over something obvious or getting a pie in the face. Notable slapstick comedians include Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, the Marx brothers, and more recently, Jim Carrey and Rowan Atkinson.
Some discussion questions:
I don’t like slapstick all the time but I do find it funny! It can just be a bit too much sometimes 
very high energy.
It’s not my type of comedy
Absolutely love your pfp
I do watch it and I find it pretty funny 
Probably cause I’m a sadist
Ofc, everybody has a different taste
Thank you 
I haven’t watched slapstick comedy intentionally but sometimes when it comes up in shows i will laugh.
It can be funny a little but most of the time when I see it on movies I roll my eyes because they’re trying too hard.
My drama teachers showed us Buster Keaton and Marx Brothers videos while we were doing our clown unit to show us examples of physical comedy.
I enjoy slapstick comedy. As long as they don’t make it offensive, then it’s ok.
Youtube videos of people falling over make me laugh very hard
(psst. Post your favourite)
They just kill me
I really like Rowan Atkinson and Charlie Chaplin, but that’s it. I think slapstick comedy can get quite repetitive and boring. I watch it sometimes but not for a long time
