Classic comical scenes

Del boy falling through the bar. Only fools and horses

This is a absolutely classic scene. Where del boy and trig are in a wine bar trying to play it cool in front of the more upper class women. For any of you who haven't seen any of the only fools and horses ( Which you are extremely missing out!!) but del boy basically lives with his younger brother rodney and uncle Albert who are market traders that are wheeling and dealing try to sell knock off goods. However del boy try to give off impressions to people that he is a high flying business man or a 'Yuppy'. But this scene works on two levels as it has a primary and secondary audience that will find it funny no matter what. People who watch only fools and horses will understand and have got to know the characters and will know why it is so funny. But also people who haven't seen it as it is just a very light hearted but so simply comical that it is genius!

Chandelier cleaning Only fools and horses.

This is another only fools and horses classic scene where del boy visits this big manor house that needs its chandeliers cleaning. So del boy decided to pretend to be cleaner and do them. But this scene works again because people who watch all the time will have gotten to know the characters but also because of its little puns and jokes like " grandad do you want a jimmy" to which he replies " know i had one before i left" Which is such dry funny humour that i think is important in a comic strip or story telling as it is a good way to engage people. Also of course with this the big light falling down as he as undone the wrong one appeals to a wide range of people of all ages from kids all the way to adults.

Dads army- Don't tell him pike. 

Now this is a absolutely classic scene that everyone will find funny. This has taken on almost a pantomime approach on it. It was a show called dads army thats was on during the late 70s to late 80s  about the home guard that where the people that couldn't go out to fight and stayed on home turf. The reason this is so funny because everybody knows it is coming but slapstick humour people can't help but find funny.



The royle Family.  Battery remote.

I think the Royle Family was such a successful series because everyone can associate with  what is happening like never having batteries and them getting shaped from remote to remote. But they take it to the extremes so it is very very comical.



The reason why all these shows were so successful is that it is very easy watching and light hearted. So people don't have to concentrate to hard on it. But also its use of making everyday things very funny and allowing the audience to be able to associate with it. That consequently means they engage and capture yours target audience.
