Anti-comedy

Anti-comedy is a style of humor that intentionally subverts traditional comedic expectations. Instead of delivering straightforward jokes or punchlines, it adopts an absurd, awkward, or deliberately unfunny approach. The aim is often to challenge viewers’ notions of humor by highlighting the discomfort or randomness inherent in comedic setups. It can provoke thought or a different kind of amusement by emphasizing the failure of comedy itself rather than its usual success, making it a form of satire or experimental humor that questions conventional comedic norms.
