comic scenes
Humorous dramatic moments
Comic scenes are the humorous or lighthearted portions of a dramatic work, providing contrast to serious material.
In plays, films, and novels, comic scenes offer relief from tension and often involve secondary characters or subplots: Shakespeare frequently inserted comic scenes between moments of tragedy.
The term applies broadly to any segment designed primarily to amuse.
