Western Comedy is a subgenre of comedy that typically takes place in the American West during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It often features cowboys, outlaws, and settlers, highlighting the humorous aspects of frontier life. The stories may include exaggerated characters, misunderstandings, and slapstick humor, reflecting the challenges and absurdities of life in a rugged environment. This genre is characterized by its unique blend of humor and adventure, often incorporating elements of Western films and television shows. Notable examples include the works of Mel Brooks and Blazing Saddles, which satirize traditional Western tropes while delivering comedic commentary on society.
