  • Definition Please - "Block Comedy"

    I've seen references to "block comedy" in perhaps a half-dozen articles and writers' blogs, but I'm not clear about what it means.

    I have Black Snyder's book "Save the Cat!," which defines block comedies as comedy features which take place in a limited area (basically "on the block") and thus are appealing to studios from a production cost standpoint. However, this is clearly not what is meant in the other references I've seen.

    Anyone?

    Your block comedy scenes are your all-out, go-for-broke, big, escalating, LOL funny scenes that will be the trailer moments.

    It's the comedy equivalent of the big, exciting action scenes that are in the trailers of action movies.
