Comedy?

Comedy: Comedy is a form of humor and comicality. Many people use comedy as a way to entertain others, and some use it for their own entertainment. There are many different types of comedy, various genres of it. For example, there's prop comedy, alternative comedy, physical comedy and many others. I for one am a huge fan of stand-up comedies and sitcoms. 



This is Gabriel Iglesias, a Mexican-American stand-up comedian who was born and raised in San Diego, California. His jokes are mostly race and obesity related, which makes it way funnier seeing that he's half Mexican and doesn't exactly have the built body of a model ;) He tells jokes as stories, as things that have happened to him in his life. Highly entertaining, if you ask me.



One of the greatest silent comedians of all time, I PRESENT TO YOU, Mary Pickford! Mary Pickford was one of the few female comedians of her time. She began her comedic career in the early years of the 1900s. Her cause of popularity was mainly based on her innocent looks. Mary was named the most woman in the world in the 1920s, but due to some problems in early 1933, Mary retired. 


Last, but not least, my favourite and fellow Malaysian, Dato' P. Ramlee! He created the most humorous movies and music, which has made a huge impact on Malaysians. For most of his life, he was the most famous person in Malaysia. Very well-known for his rare creativity. Legendary, he was. One to never be forgotten for his great talent.


In my opinion, different comedians have their own ways of expressing their humour. All unique in their own ways. Some in ways that only a certain amount of people can relate to. 

Some genres of comedy, not many are fans of. But I must say, comedy is comedy. It's ludicrous all the same. :D
