A "Comedy Western" is a film or television genre that combines elements of traditional Westerns with humor. These stories often take place in the American West during the late 19th century and feature cowboys, outlaws, and lawmen. The comedic aspect can arise from exaggerated characters, absurd situations, and witty dialogue, providing a lighthearted take on the classic Western narrative. Notable examples of Comedy Westerns include films like Blazing Saddles and Support Your Local Sheriff!. These productions often parody Western tropes while still paying homage to the genre, making them enjoyable for both fans of Westerns and those seeking a good laugh.
