Documentary-style comedy

Documentary-style comedy is a genre that blends elements of traditional documentary filmmaking with humor. It typically features a fictional narrative presented as if it were a real documentary, often using interviews, voiceovers, and observational techniques. This style allows comedians to explore serious or absurd topics through a comedic lens, creating a humorous yet insightful commentary on real-life issues. Examples include TV shows like "The Office" and "Parks and Recreation," where characters interact with the camera, offering a comedic take on everyday situations and societal norms. The informal structure often makes the humor feel more relatable and authentic.
