Meanings
nounsex comedy (plural sex comedies)
plural sex comedies
- broadcastingA genre of comedy film with sexual content or themes.
Just as the screwball comedy had well-defined elements which the films in the group share, the sex comedy shares conventions of narrative and visual patterning, not only across the originating mid-1950s phase, but observable in later examples, up to the present day.
