different types of comedy

the different types of comedy that I looked into for my idea were;

Dry humour

Deadpan is a form of comic delivery in which humour is presented without a change in emotion or body language, usually speaking in a casual, monotone or very serious, solemn, matter-of-fact voice and expressing an emotionless, archly insincere or artificially grave demeanor.

dark humour

The purpose of black comedy is to make light of serious and often taboo subject matter, and some comedians use it as a tool for exploring important issues, thus provoking discomfort and serious thought as well as amusement in their audience. Popular themes of the genre include murder, suicide, war, barbarism, drug abuse, terminal illness, domestic violence, insanity, nightmare, disease, racism, disability (both physical and mental), chauvinism, corruption, and crime. By contrast, blue comedy focuses more on crude topics, such as nudity, sex and bodily fluids.

slapstick

Slapstick is a type of comedy involving exaggerated violence and activities which exceed the boundaries of common sense[citation needed]. These exaggerated depictions are often found in children's cartoons, and light film comedies aimed at younger audiences.

I think that the type of comedy I am going to lean towards is a satirical type because I think that using a higher brow comedy will give me more of an opportunity to base my video around an actual storyline instead of basing it on humour alone.
