Comedy and its Subgenres in Step Brothers Comedy is defined as “a work that is designed in some way to provoke laughter or humour on the part of the viewer” (Geoff King‚ Film Comedy‚ p.3). Adam McKay’s 2008 film‚ Step Brothers‚ starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly definitely fits these criteria‚ and therefore is a comedy itself.

development: When one thinks comedy‚ the first impression that comes to mind may be a bundle of gags and pranks‚ or clever wording and bizarre situations that bring joy and laughter to its audience‚ or its victims (mostly).
