In the fall, I taught a course on Switzerland. We analyzed newspaper articles, lyrics, movies, and personal experiences to explore the concept of 'Swiss' identity. This semester, we're watching a variety of German films that deal with young people grappling with society. We've seen everything from feature films to comedies, soap operas, and sitcoms.

I think that because it was comedy-horror instead of pure horror is where the problem lay. It's the first comedy-horror in a long time, and maybe the marketplace just isn't ready for comedy-horror yet. It's difficult to think of other explanations. (Quote by - Paul Brooks)

I think the mother-daughter between Estelle and me was one made in comedy heaven. (Quote by - Bea Arthur)

Bill Maher is one of today's most insightful comedic minds who has, through his comedy, influenced political debate in this country. This performance is Maher at his best, and will appeal to both die-hard and new Bill Maher fans alike. (Quote by - Barry Gordon)

It's a very funny play. The music is just tremendous; it's a comedy with opera mixed in. (Quote by - Bryan Adams)

You know, comedy's hard. With drama, you have a responsibility to the emotional truth, but with comedy, you have emotional truth and you have technique on top of it. (Quote by - Julianne Moore)

He was a smart guy who wrote witty, situational comedies. (Quote by - Bob Foster)

As is the case every year, submissions for consideration by the Peabody Board provide insight into the astonishing array of electronic media productions. These are the works self-selected by creators and producers as their very best work from the previous calendar year. This year's Peabody Award recipients stand as hallmarks of excellence in news, documentary, comedy, drama, education and public service. (Quote by - Horace Newcomb)

In every tragedy, an element of comedy is preserved. Comedy is just tragedy reversed. (Quote by - Wislawa Szymborska)

A subtle comedy part, I think, requires more finesse than a heavy dramatic role. (Quote by - Dinah Sheridan)

It is less artificial than his other comedies. The epigrams do not seem to have been added on like candied cherries on a cake. (Quote by - Ted Morgan)

At least one way of measuring the freedom of any society is the amount of comedy that is permitted, and clearly a healthy society permits more satirical comment than a repressive, so that if comedy is to function in some way as a safety release then it must obviously deal with these taboo areas. This is part of the responsibility we accord our licensed jesters, that nothing be excused the searching light of comedy. If anything can survive the probe of humour it is clearly of value, and conversely all groups who claim immunity from laughter are claiming special privileges which should not be granted. (Quote by - Eric Idle)

I didn't know whether Sam would come in and want to try to be funny or try to add to the comedy by creating a comedy version of the character people know him to play. He played it very straight, and that was his instinct and that was the right instinct. (Quote by - Eugene Levy)

Life is the greatest movie out there. It's got your favorite protagonist your most hated antagonist and manages to mix drama, horror, comedy, romance, action and it has some crazy plot twists along the way. Only thing missing is a theme song. (Quote by - Jacob T. Atkinson I)

I think in troubled times, we're going to see the same genre that worked during the depression comedy. People need to escape, they need to laugh, they need to forget the grim realities of the world. Comedies are going to become king at the box office. (Quote by - Martin Grove)

Comedy naturally wears itself out destroys the very food on which it lives; and by constantly and successfully exposing the follies and weaknesses of mankind to ridicule, in the end leaves itself nothing worth laughing at. (Quote by - William Hazlitt)
