A distinctive feature of Hollywood cinema is the ability to entice the viewer into cinemas. Crunching popcorn is nice not only for a zombie action with pumped super heroes, but also for good American comedies. American humor in the cinema is extensive. He now and then strikes in social satire or an incredible stupid pun with jokes below the belt. 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 a apple pie in the movie of the same name. The example was contagious, and in the same year, not one patient with a burn of intimate places entered local hospitals. The film "American Pie" is a good American comedy that respects all the canons of the genre. Sigmund Freud singled out three reasons for laughter: politics, sex and the result of a food and rectum duet. There is nothing to hide here, there are many such jokes in this film. In addition, "American Pie" is the progenitor of the genre of porn comedies. True, good American comedies aimed at the youth audience are drowning in the abyss of mediocre and stupid sets of tapes that are hardly to be called films. Low-quality goods are not only sinned by Hollywood itself, but also by its foreign imitators, also in the person of Russian film-makers. The best American comedy films of this genre are Eurotour, Very Scary Movie-1 and Dumb and Dumber. Separately, I would like to highlight "Scott Pilgrim Against All".
Animation
This is a good American comedy does not end there. "Monsters on vacation", "Toy Story", "Ice Age", "Ugly I" - touching and funny animated comedies. Here there is a place for strong friendship, love and care. At the same time, the films abound with ridiculous and curious scenes. As for one of the Freudian reasons for laughter, namely politics, then with fierce criticism of American society, "South Park", "Griffins", "The Simpsons", "American Dad" and "Futurama" are falling. Serious social, economic and political themes are harmoniously diluted by love stories, complete nonsense and ridiculous sketches.
TV series
"Clinic", "The Big Bang Theory", "Wilfred", "How I Met Your Mother" and many other serials of recent years are considered one of the best in the comedy genre. Like many other good American comedies, these series are distinguished by a multifaceted and ridiculous humor. Their popularity among various groups of society speaks for itself. Everyone knows the sociopathic doctor Cox, the abstruse Sheldon and the naive Penny. Separately it is necessary to allocate a serial "Friends". The show lasted 10 seasons. Each viewer liked a certain character, in which he found something in common with himself. For someone it was superficial Phoebe Buffet or Joe Tribbiani. In general, the series left a big mark in the genre of comedy.
Let's hope that the best American comedies of 2013 have not yet been released, and the big screen and dark cinema hall will be a great place to cheer up and enjoy what they've seen. The latest comedic novelties include such films as "Muvi 43", "Ugly I-2", "21 and more." For mandatory viewing, "Welcome to Zombiland" and "Big Lebowski" are also recommended.
