It is one of the main types of humor in stand-up comedy. In an observational comedy act the comedian "makes an observation about something from the backwaters of life, an everyday phenomenon that is rarely noticed or discussed." The humor is based on the premise of "Have you ever noticed?" (or "Did you ever notice?"), which has become a comedy cliché. "Observational humour usually took the form of long monologues of personal narrative, and the punch-line was either hard to predict or never came.", Dylan William Moran (born 3 November 1971) is an Irish comedian, writer, actor and filmmaker. He is best known for his observational comedy, the UK television sitcom "Black Books" (in which he co-wrote and starred) and his work with Simon Pegg in "Shaun of the Dead" and "Run Fatboy Run".

The origins of the term are found in Ancient Greece. In the Athenian democracy, the public opinion of voters was influenced by the political satire performed by the comic poets at the theaters. The theatrical genre of Greek comedy can be described as a dramatic performance which pits two groups or societies against each other in an amusing agon or conflict. Northrop Frye depicted these two opposing sides as a "Society of Youth" and a "Society of the Old". A revised view characterizes the essential agon of comedy as a struggle between a relatively powerless youth and the societal conventions that pose obstacles to his hopes. In this struggle, the youth is understood to be constrained by his lack of social authority, and is left with little choice but to take recourse in ruses which engender very dramatic irony which provokes laughter., Subject: a film with me in it, Relation: genre, Options: (A) action (B) black comedy (C) comedian (D) comedy (E) comedy film (F) comic (G) culture (H) drama (I) fashion (J) genre (K) horror (L) observational comedy (M) political satire (N) society (O) television (P) war
