A distinctive feature of Hollywood cinema is the ability to lure the viewer into cinemas. Crisp popcorn is nice not only for a furious action with pumped up super-heroes, but also for good American comedies. American movie humor is vast. Every now and then he strikes into social satire or an incredible stupid pun with jokes below the waist. In this article, we will try to outline the most popular comedy genres in American cinema today.
Youth comedies
At the end of the last century, a certain Jim Levenstein gave himself entirely to apple pie in the film of the same name. The example turned out to be contagious, and in the same year, more than one patient with a burn of intimate places was admitted to local hospitals. The film "American Pie" is a good American comedy that respects all the canons of the genre. Sigmund Freud identified three reasons for laughter: politics, sex and the result of a duet of food and rectum. There is nothing to hide here, there are many similar jokes in this film. In addition, "American Pie" is the progenitor of the genre of porn comedy. True, good
American comedies aimed at a youth audience are drowning in the abyss of mediocre and stupid sets of tapes that can hardly be called films. Not only Hollywood itself sins low-quality goods, but also its foreign imitators, also represented by Russian filmmakers. The best
American comedy films of this genre are Eurotour, Scary Movie-1, and Dumb and Dumber. Separately, I would like to highlight "Scott Pilgrim against all."
Animation
Good American comedies don't end there. “Monsters on Vacation”, “Toy Story”, “Ice Age”, “Despicable Me” are touching and funny animated comedies. There is a place for strong friendship, love and care. At the same time, films abound in funny and curious scenes. As for one of Freud’s occasions for laughter, namely politics, South Park, Family Guy, The Simpsons, American Dad and Futurama are ragingly criticized American society. Serious social, economic and political topics are harmoniously diluted with love stories, complete absurdity and ridiculous sketches.
TV series
“Clinic”, “The Big Bang Theory”, “Wilfred”, “How I Met Your Mother” and many other TV shows of recent years are considered one of the best in the comedy genre. Like many other good American comedies, these series are characterized by multifaceted and funny humor. Their popularity among various groups of society speaks for itself. Everyone knows the sociopathic Dr. Cox, the abstruse Sheldon and the naive Penny. Separately, it is worth highlighting the series "Friends". The series lasted 10 seasons. Each viewer liked a certain character in which he found something in common with himself. For some, it was a superficial Phoebe Buffe or Joe Tribbiani. In general, the series left a big mark in the comedy genre.
Let's hope that the best American comedies of 2013 have not yet been released, and the large screen and the dark hall of the cinema will be a great place to raise your mood and enjoy what you see. The latest comedy novelties include films such as “Movie 43”, “Despicable Me-2”, “21 and more.” For compulsory viewing, we also recommend “Welcome to Zombieland” and “Big Lebowski”.
