Slapstick originated in the theatre; a slapstick is made from two sticks , attached at one end so that when you hit someone with the other end there is a "loud" slapping noise as the loose ends clap together, without hurting the person - at least, not much! Strange as it may seem, the pain of others is the basis of much comedy, so using a slapstick allowed performers to give the impression of pain without actually injuring anyone.
slapstick started in the middle ages maybe even before that, Shakespeare even incorporated slapstick in a midsummer nights dream slapstick in the theatre started from the middle ages, or even ancient Greece slapstick in the films started with the birth of cinema when there was no sound at all, Chaplin for example.
