Slapstick is a style of performance characterized by physical comedy that relies on exaggerated actions, visual gags, and humorous situations. It often involves pratfalls, absurdity, and the use of props, such as the iconic slapstick paddle, to create comedic effects. This genre emphasizes visual humor over dialogue, making it universally appealing and easily understood across language barriers. Classic examples include the works of silent film stars like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton.
