Dramatic Comedy: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

'''Dramatic Comedy''' is a genre in which [[comedy]] and [[drama]] are mixed in roughly equal amounts. "Dramatic comedy" is the preferred term in the ''[[Daria (TV series) | Daria]]'' fandom, though [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comedy-drama comedy-drama], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragicomedy tragicomedy], dramedy, and seriocomedy are occasionally used.

The creation of a story in the dramatic comedy venue can be achieved through the mixing and matching of the various ~~subgenres~~ present in the respective parts of the overall genre, such as [[adventure | action]] comedies or [[parody | parodies]] that operate more as an homage to the original work than a mockery of it. While some dramatic comedies blend each part together seamlessly, others will switch back and forth between the two throughout the story, often starting off comedic, then becoming serious toward the end.
