Question: The comedy of intrigue, also known as the comedy of situation, is a genre of comedy in which dramatic action is prioritised over the development of character, complicated strategems and conspiracies drive the plot, and in theatre, which is a term that describes a comedy that aims at entertaining the audience through situations that are highly exaggerated, extravagant, and thus improbable?

<P0-S0> The comedy of intrigue, also known as the comedy of situation, is a genre of comedy in which dramatic action is prioritised over the development of character, complicated strategems and conspiracies drive the plot, and farcical humour and contrived or ridiculous dramatic situations are often employed. <P0-S1>  Characterisation tends to be defined only vaguely and the plot gives the illusion of dynamic, constant movement. <P0-S2>  The German philosopher Hegel argued that characters pursue their aims in such comedies via the use of deception. <P0-S3>  The genre was first developed in the theatre of classical Rome by Plautus and Terence. <P0-S4>  Examples of comedies of intrigue include Niccolò Machiavelli's "The Mandrake" (1524), the anonymous Italian play "The Deceived Ones" (1531), Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice" (c. 1596) and "Much Ado About Nothing", Thomas Heywood's "The Wise Woman of Hoxton" (c. 1604), Molière's "Scapin the Schemer" (1671), and the plays of Aphra Behn and Thomas D'Urfey. <SEP> <P1-S0> Bizarro fiction is a contemporary literary genre, which often uses elements of absurdism, satire, and the grotesque, along with pop-surrealism and genre fiction staples, in order to create subversive, weird, and entertaining works. <P1-S1>  The term was adopted in 2005 by the independent publishing companies Eraserhead Press, Raw Dog Screaming Press, and Afterbirth Books. <P1-S2>  Much of its community revolves around Eraserhead Press, which is based in Portland, Oregon, and has hosted the BizarroCon yearly since 2008. <P1-S3>  The introduction to the first "Bizarro Starter Kit" describes Bizarro as "literature's equivalent to the cult section at the video store" and a genre that "strives not only to be strange, but fascinating, thought-provoking, and, above all, fun to read." <P1-S4>  According to Rose O'Keefe of Eraserhead Press: "Basically, if an audience enjoys a book or film primarily because of its weirdness, then it is Bizarro. <P1-S5>  Weirdness might not be the work's only appealing quality, but it is the major one." <SEP> <P2-S0> In theatre, a farce is a comedy that aims at entertaining the audience through situations that are highly exaggerated, extravagant, and thus improbable. <P2-S1>  Farce is also characterized by physical humor, the use of deliberate absurdity or nonsense, and broadly stylized performances. <P2-S2>  Farces have been written for the stage and film. <P2-S3>  Furthermore, a farce is also often set in one particular location, where all events occur. <SEP> <P3-S0> A teen situation comedy, or teen sitcom, is a subgenre of comedic television programs targeted towards preteens and teenagers. <P3-S1>  In general, these type of programs focus primarily on characters between 13 and 19 years of age and routinely feature characters involved in humorous situations (either realistic or fantasy in style, depending on the program's plotline), and often focus on the characters' family and social lives. <P3-S2>  The primary plot of each episode often involves the lead character(s) that the program centers on, while secondary plotlines often focus on the character(s') parents, siblings (assuming the main character has any and they are not one of the leads) or friends – although the secondary characters may also or instead be involved in the episode's main plot.
