comedic scenes
Humorous dramatic segments
Comedic scenes are moments in a performance—film, television, theater—designed to produce laughter or amusement.
The phrase treats comedy as divisible into discrete units: The movie drags in the middle, but the comedic scenes land.
A drama might contain comedic scenes without being a comedy overall.
The term is slightly more formal than "funny parts."
