Situational Comedy




'Car Share' is an example of a situational comedy, or a sitcom. A sitcom, in contrast to sketch shows, features the same characters throughout the series. This means the audience learns the traits of the characters and understands the story line. The show will usually have a running joke throughout the series. The sitcom will also usually use canned laughter over the top of the shows sound. This adds to the effect and helps build the humour as the audience knows where the intended humour is. The shows also contain innuendos which make it appeal to older audiences. Most of these shows have a unique selling point; "Peter Kay's Car Share" is set all in one place, the car. These help the show to be recognised by the audience and give a talking point.
