slapstick

n. 打闹剧(演员用击板相互追打发出声响得名)

A light dramatic work in which highly improbable plot situations, exaggerated characters, and often slapstick elements are used for humorous effect.

轻喜剧一种轻松的戏剧形式，其中极为荒谬可笑的情节背景，夸张的角色和一些闹剧的成分以表现幽默的效果

I prefer the dry humour of situation comedy to the slapstick of circus clowns.

我喜欢滑稽戏不动声色的幽默。不喜欢马戏小丑的低级滑稽。
