1. Comedy
   Comedy film is a genre of film in which the main emphasis is on humor. Also, films in this style typically have a happy ending. One of the oldest genres in film, some of the very first silent movies were comedies. Comedy, unlike other film genres, puts much more focus on individual stars, with many former stand-up comics transitioning to the film industry due to their popularity. While many comedic films are lighthearted stories with no intent other than to amuse, others contain political or social commentary (such as Wag the Dog and Man of the Year).
2. Comedy -- Comedy Works
   "Comedy Works' use of the PPT8800 mobile computer is another example of Symbol's ability to provide mobile solutions for a variety of customers in various industries," said Tom Tiernan, vice president and general manager of Symbol's Mobile Computing Division. "With the help of Symbol's mobile computers, customers in the hospitality and entertainment markets can create competitive advantages and generate additional revenue while increasing employee productivity."
3. Comedy -- Comedy Central
   NEW YORK, Jan. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Comedy all-star Lewis Black is bringing all-new laughs to COMEDY CENTRAL. The Network Television Premiere of "Lewis Black: Red, White & Screwed" debuts Sunday, January 20 at 9:00 p.m.
4. Situation Comedy -- Situation: Comedy
   The entire presentation of Situation: Comedy is identical to the first episode, which is most definitely a good thing. The graphics are a wonderful marriage of 3D and comic book-like art that stays true to the original style while updating it for the modern gamer. You handle movement and inventory management with just the left mouse button, while a right click lets you skip a chunk of dialogue. And the jazzy musical score is so good, Telltale made a few tracks available for download.

7. Comedy Central
   On May 10, the WGA said 35 writers on "The Sarah Silverman Program" and five other Comedy Central shows were seeking WGA representation. Guild representatives passed out fliers detailing their demands at the Viacom shareholders meeting last month in New York last month.
8. Divine Comedy
   The Divine Comedy is an epic poem on a vast scale, told by Dante himself in first-person point of view. The Divine Comedy is ... an allegory, a work in which characters, objects, and events have figurative as well as literal meanings. For example, in The Divine Comedy, Vergil symbolizes human reason, and Beatrice stands for faith and supernatural truth. The three beasts Dante encounters in Canto 1 represent sin, and various personages in other cantos symbolize specific types of sin, such as envy, sloth, gluttony and lust. Some allegorical characters, objects, or events symbolize several things at the same time.
9. Comedy Film
   With the release of The 40-Year-Old Virgin in 2005, a new genre of comedy film was born which could loosely be called the Judd Apatow style (named for its producer, Judd Apatow). This style of comedy is usually R-rated, containing humor that is typically classified as "gross-out humor," but usually with a soft, romantic ending. Films containing these attributes have usually achieved critical and commercial success, and are usually more respected than more juvenile films like American Pie or Road Trip. Other examples of this genre are Knocked Up, Superbad, and Wedding Crashers (in which Apatow had no involvement).
10. Will Ferrell -- Comedy
    I’m a little surprised Will Ferrell keeps trying sports movies. Talladega Nights aside, Ferrell’s previous attempts at comedy sports movies haven’t been all that successful. Both Kicking and Screaming and Blades of Glory were poorly received, yet Ferrell keeps trying. read more
