Character-driven humor

Character-driven humor arises from a movie or show's characters and their personalities, behaviors, or identities. It relies on the audience’s understanding of what makes these characters unique, amusing, or relatable, often through their quirks, reactions, or interactions. The humor emerges naturally from their traits and how they respond to situations, rather than from external jokes or slapstick. This approach creates comedy rooted in character development, making the humor feel authentic, consistent, and engaging, as it reflects who the characters are and how they would genuinely act in various scenarios.
