Wikicomedy:Community Portal

Hello!

I'm a lover of English comedy - does anyone have knowledge of blogs similar to this? --The Vicar 11:16, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Greetings from a WikiGnome and template coder. This wiki seems to suffer terribly from vandalism. The cure for this might be to get more articles - your largest page by far is a rancid political joke. I don't know much about comedy, but a good start might be to copy something from Wikipedia, perhaps salvaging a POV, unreferenced and unencyclopedic statement from the history. --Brilliand 05:05, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Forms of comedy
Copy-paste of a list of comedy forms from Comedy:


 * Bouffon comedy
 * Improvisational comedy
 * Stand-up comedy
 * Alternative comedy - a largely British term relating to comedians in the ascendant throughout the 1980s and beyond.
 * Impressionists
 * One-Liner - a type of standup comedy where the comedian will tell many jokes that are one or two sentences long. Examples: Rodney Dangerfield, Steven Wright
 * Comedy genres - different forms of Stand-up comedy.
 * Sketch comedy - short comedy scenes as in contrast to sitcom.
 * Television comedy and Radio comedy
 * Situation comedy
 * Comedy film
 * gross-out film
 * Parody film
 * romantic comedy film
 * screwball comedy film
 * slapstick film
 * anarchic comedy film
 * Comic novel
 * Musical comedy
 * Tragicomedy
 * Dramedy (AKA Comedy-drama)

Copying those articles and rewording them as instruction manuals would go a long way toward expanding this wiki.

If you want me again, post on my talk page - I'm liable to forget about this place, but posts on my talk page here will get to me when I visit Basilicus. --Brilliand 05:17, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
