A comedy originally meant a play in which no one died, usually with a happy or funny air, but not necessarily. The date back to Ancient Greek and Roman times. Many Shakespeare plays are considered comedies, like Twelfth Night, The Taming of the Shrew, or The Merchant of Venice. Nowadays, a comedy refers to some form of entertainment, like books movies, or TV shows, that are generally funny. Comedy movies in theaters right now like MacGruber or Date Night might be thought by some to be "Chick Flicks." Most Comedy TV shows like "George Lopez" or "The Office" or "Modern Family" are considered "Situation Comedy" or "Sit-Coms." Sit-Coms are TV shows in which specific fictional characters are in a certain funny or awkward situation in their lives, and each episode revolves around a day or aspect of their lives. A comedy book is pretty much straightforward, but often they are not written in novel form, but they're books of funny or ironic lists, or written as diaries, or anachronisms. Comedy plays and operettas are still around, and they're pretty much the same as they always have been.
