The difference between tragedy and comedy: Tragedy is something awful happening to somebody else, while comedy is something awful happening to somebody else.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Comedy is much more difficult than tragedy-and a much better training, I think. It's much easier to make people cry than to make them laugh.
Comedy is tragedy - plus time.
The constituents of tragedy may be universally acknowledged, easily invoked and deeply felt, but the elements of comedy are, I think, more widely variable from person to person.
Life is neither comedy or tragedy, life is what you make of it.
I realized I do tragedy better than comedy.
Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.
There is no essential difference between the material of comedy and tragedy. All depends on the point of view of the dramatist, which, by clever emphasis, he tries to make the point of view of his audience.
I have always felt comedy and tragedy are roommates. If you look up comedy and tragedy, you will find a very old picture of two masks. One mask is tragedy. It looks like it's crying. The other mask is comedy. It looks like it's laughing. Nowadays, we would say, 'How tasteless and insensitive. A comedy mask is laughing at a tragedy mask.'
There's obviously a lot of tragedy in comedy; I really enjoy the paradox of what a really good comedy is.
Comedy is tragedy that happens to other people.
