• Information found: (Slapstick (Classical Comedy, Clown Comedy, Custard-Pie Comedy, Knockabout Comedy, Low Comedy, Slapstick Comedy, Slapstick Farce). Film comedy began as low comedy or slapstick, as silent comedy is generally called; Slapstick is physical comedy with plenty of movement, made up mainly of falls, gags, pies generally landing on faces, and chases. Most silent slapstick comedies ended with a riotous chase in which all sorts of people and vehicles participated; pie-throwing was such a standard part of slapstick that custard-pie comedy has also been used as a synonym for slapstick comedy)
