Comedy eludes definition; however, there have been many attempts to assign a definition. The narrator explains concepts introduced by Henri Bergson and Aristotle as he approaches the topic. These ideas are animated with cartoons and are accompanied by supplementary materials, accessible through the toolbar on the right side of the page. The concepts are quite complex.
