Neale and Krutnik (1990) tried to find out what defined "humour" in films. It is said to be split into two categories of humour. Verbal humour and Physical action.
Verbal Humour: This includes jokes, "wisecracks" and the misuse of language- this could be mixed metaphors and mispronunciation. Humour such as this was used in all of the Carry On films, and Some Like It Hot.
Physical Humour: This type of humour is when people fall over, or the classic-pie in the face, also having food thrown at them internally or by accident. This is another form of slapstick comedy. When physical humour first started there was no sound apart from music-this made the acting more extreem so the physcial humour was more apparent. This humour was found in films like The Inbertweeners.
