Comedy

 

A comedy is a professional entertainment consisting of jokes and satirical sketches, intended to make an audience laugh.

In 2010-2012, the " Hangover 2." was released. The movie consists of a man named Stu  getting married and decides to do a pre wedding brunch with his friends in Thailand. But something happens, next thing they know they woke up in Bangkok and his soon to be brother in law is missing. So the "wolf pack" had to retrace their steps in order to find Teddy in Bangkok.
The character types and effects are Stu -protagonist , the chain smoking capuchin monkey, The Wolf pack, Teddy, the Flamboyant gangster Leslie Chow, and drugs and alcohol
Drugs and alocohol are two substances that are included in several different comedies currently. However, in the mid 1900's they were not seen as often.

The other comides in our modern time are...

In the mid 1970's, A comedy was released that became very popular. The movie is "The Heartbreak kid". it's about a man by the name of Lenny who is thinking that his married life is mistake to Lila. His belief in that mitake was confirmed when he met a blond beauty named Kelly at Miami Beach. Then Lenny tries to ditch his wedding life so he could marry Kelly, but her father hates everything about Lenny and tries to convince Kelly to stay away from him.
The Heartbreak kid was also remade in 2007.
The character types  and effects are Lenny-protagonist, Kelly, Kelly's father, Lila, Miami Beach.
Both comedies are different yet similar in several different ways. They're similar because they both are essentially about marriage. The difference is that "Hangover 2" uses drugs and alcohol to create comedy while The Heartbreak Kid uses a failed marriage for comedy.
