Situational comedy

Situational comedy, or sitcom, is a genre of humor centered around a consistent set of characters in familiar environments, like families or workplaces. The comedy arises from everyday interactions, misunderstandings, and conflicts that develop within these settings. The humor often relies on timing, dialogue, and character dynamics, making viewers relate to the situations. Examples include shows like "Friends" or "The Office." Sitcoms typically have a recurring cast, and episodes often feature humorous resolutions to ongoing character or relationship challenges, providing entertainment through relatable, amusing scenarios grounded in real-life social dynamics.
