Comedy / Satire

Games with a focus on humor, or generally just not taking itself seriously. Often called "gag games". Humor is meant to provoke laughter and provide amusement. The extent to which a person finds something humorous depends on a host of variables, including geographical location, culture, maturity, level of education, intelligence and context. A hypothetical person 'lacking a sense of humour' would find the material inducing the behavior to be inexplicable, strange, or even irrational.

Sub-themes
	Slapstick	Exaggerated physical activity that exceeds the boundaries of normal physical activity. Slapstick may involve both intentional violence and violence by mishap, often resulting from inept use of props.	Example: Goat Simulator Octodad
	Satire	Uses humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose the perceived flaws of individuals, corporations, government, or society itself. Although satire is usually meant to be humorous, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit to draw attention to both particular and wider issues in society.	Example: Bum Simulator The Outer Worlds
	Black Comedy / Dark Humor	Makes light of subject matter that is generally considered taboo, serious or painful to discuss. Writers and comedians often use it as a tool for exploring these issues by provoking discomfort, serious thought, and amusement in their audience.	Example: Tales from the Borderlands
	Blue Comedy / Ribaldry	Focuses on crude topics such as nudity, sex, and straightforward obscenity.	Example:
	Toilet Humor	Deals with defecation, urination and flatulence, and to a lesser extent vomiting and other bodily functions. Toilet humor is popular among children and young teenagers, for whom cultural taboos related to the acknowledgement of waste excretion still holds a degree of novelty.	Example: There's Poop In My Soup
	Clean Comedy	Free of objectionable material but not necessarily unprovocative. Clean comedy is considered by some to be a higher form of comedy than bits that rely on the shock of profanity or sexual content to elicit laughs, because it is harder to achieve. Comedians may try to circumvent clean-comedy restrictions by using innuendos, euphemisms, doublespeak, double entendres, and gender-neutral language.	Example:
	Parody	Designed to imitate, comment on and/or mock its subject, usually an original work, real-life person, event, or movement. Parody was used in early Greek philosophical texts to make philosophical points, and Hegemon of Thasos is often cited as the inventor of a kind of parody; by slightly altering the wording in well-known poems he transformed the sublime into the ridiculous. When an artist satirizes themselves it is often called "self-parody".	Example: The Procession to Calvary Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard
