Slapstick comedy is a type of humor that uses physical actions like pranks, jokes, and awkward scenarios to make people laugh. It is often used in cartoons and movies, but it can also be used in stand-up comedy or by clowns. The goal is to make people laugh at the silly, exaggerated actions. A common example of slapstick humor is someone slipping and falling down; this is usually accompanied by a loud sound or music to increase the comedic effect.
