Straight Man Comedy is a style of humor where one character, known as the "straight man," plays it straight while others engage in more outrageous or silly behavior. This character often reacts to the absurdity around them, providing a contrast that highlights the comedic elements of the situation. The straight man's serious demeanor amplifies the humor of the surrounding antics. This comedic technique is commonly found in various forms of entertainment, including television shows, films, and theater. Famous examples include the dynamic between Abbott and Costello or the interactions in The Office, where the straight man's reactions enhance the overall comedic effect.
