sketch shows

Sketch shows are a type of comedy program composed of short, separate scenes called sketches. Each sketch features different characters and settings, often satirizing or parodying various aspects of society, culture, or everyday life. These segments are usually quick, punchy, and humorous, designed to entertain and often include clever writing and timing. The format allows for diverse styles and topics within a single episode, making sketches a versatile way to explore a wide range of comedic ideas efficiently. Popular examples include "Saturday Night Live" and "Monty Python's Flying Circus."
