Well, I highly doubt he was the first to say it, but Seth Cohen said "Comedy is just tragedy plus time" in season 2 of the OC. Sorry if that's not very helpful. But I love the OC! =)
The ToneThe main difference between Shakepearean comedy and Shakespearean tragedy is the tone. The comedy is designed to be funny, while the tragedy will be sad... that is the main difference, and one that you can predict before even reading them. The difference is that a comedy has a light romantic spot to it while usually the tragedies have killing and despair. People laugh in a comedy and people cry in a tragedy. Well, a comedy is supposed to make people laugh. A tragedy often makes people cry. The EndingA Shakespearean comedy, by definition, is one of Shakespeare's stories with a happy ending. The difference between that and a tragedy is that tragedies always have a sad ending. The use of actual jokes and comedy didn't play a part in creating either genre, because it, especially innuendo, was used in both types. The simple answer is that in a tragedy they die at the end, in a comedy they get married. The comedies end happily, usually with everybody getting married. The tragedies end sadly, usually with everybody getting dead. A comedy has a happy ending. A tragedy has a sad ending. The comedy ends happily but the tragedy always ends in death. Traditionally a comedy will end in a wedding and a tragedy with the death of a main character. In the comedies a whole lot of people get married at the end. In the tragedies a whole lot of people die at the end. One ends with a smile; one ends in tears. The PlotComedy leads towards resolution and tragedy leads towards devastation. There can be funny parts in a tragedy and sad parts in a comedy.
Tragedy has a protagonist (the main character who gains the audience's sympathy) who possesses character flaws that lead to his own undoing-he is himself responsible for the disaster that befalls him. Comedy is a humorous treatment of an otherwise dramatic, or serious subject-while the plot may have its characters doing silly or absurd things, it also allows moments of serious reflection and may even be said to teach a lesson. Farce is humor for sheer enjoyment-characters are not usually as three-dimensional as in comedy. Just as farce is less intellectually deep than comedy, melodrama is less intellectually inclined than a drama, and more designed to stir emotion-characters have less depth, and may be broadly described as good guys and bad guys. Any story may have one or more elements of any of these.
Romeo
The comedy Twelfth Night is a Shakespearean play about the twin Viola and Sebastian. Also known as What You Will, this play focuses on the love triangle formed between the twins and the Countess Olivia.
Romeo And Juliet is a classic love story, of two star-crossed lovers. Their families have fought for decades, but Romeo and Juliet show much love for each other, when their families hate each other! Juliet's parents said that Juliet must marry Paris a kinsman to the prince. But Juliet doesn't want to because she is already married to Romeo without her parents knowing! So to get out of marriage with Paris she drinks a liquid that makes her look dead when she isn't! They take her to the tomb and Romeo finds her and thinks she is really dead! So he drinks poison and kills himself. Juliet awakes to find her husband dead! She tries to drink the last of the poison, but it doesn't kill her so she takes a knife and stabs herself right in the heart!
The quote "There is a thin line between comedy and tragedy" is often attributed to American author Mark Twain. This statement reflects the idea that humor and sadness can sometimes be closely intertwined in storytelling and human experience.

just spoke to a man at the mot station he said they have timing chains
"Romeo and Juliet" is a tragedy. The play tells the story of two young lovers from feuding families whose relationship leads to their untimely deaths, rather than a comedy which typically ends in marriage. The themes of love, fate, and conflict are central to the tragedy of the play.
Timeout described him as a 'talented upcoming star' and the British Comedy Guide said he is 'someone definitely thinking about his comedy and not just going through the motions.'
Because, as Eugene Ionesco said, the characters in a tragedy have a tragic fate, but a fate of their own nonetheless. The characters in a comedy in the absurd genre (The Bald Primadonna, Waiting for Godot...), though not to be taken seriously, have no fate, which can be considered even more tragic. They can be deemed of being soul-less puppets.
A Greek term for a funny play is a comedy and is said in Greek as komodia. The word comedy is said in Latin as comoedia.

Requiem for a Dream. Although its not a Comedy.
Tragedy has a protagonist (the main character who gains the audience's sympathy) who possesses character flaws that lead to his own undoing-he is himself responsible for the disaster that befalls him. Comedy is a humorous treatment of an otherwise dramatic, or serious subject-while the plot may have its characters doing silly or absurd things, it also allows moments of serious reflection and may even be said to teach a lesson. Farce is humor for sheer enjoyment-characters are not usually as three-dimensional as in comedy.

Well that all depends on what year you have. I have just recently changed a timing belt on a 95. It was pretty simple but like I said, it all depends on the year.
comedy typically revolves around the characters of said comedy experiencing a series of humorous experiences
