SLAPSTICK COMEDY

Slapstick comedy is when someone is able to use their surroundings, or some sort of physical action to get a comedic angle over with the fans. For instance, one of the classic forms of slapstick, is the old pie in the face prank, or when a clown uses a fake flower to squirt water in someone's face.

One of the more recent wrestlers who used the slapstick technique was Santino Marella. Santino, while wasn't taken very serious most of the time, was a hilarious performer and would use something like the cobra sock he pulled from his tights. In fact, the cobra was just normally his finisher. While comedic bits are used sparingly in wrestling, they're certainly a part of today's era and need to ensure handled flawlessly.
