From Wikipedia
Slapstick is a style of humor involving exaggerated physical activity that exceeds the boundaries of normal physical comedy, which may involve both intentional violence and violence by mishap, often resulting from physical abuse or inept use of props. The term arises from a device developed for use in the broad, physical comedy style known as commedia dell'arte in 16th-century Italy. The "slap stick" consists of two thin slats of wood, which makes a "slap" when striking another actor, with little force needed to make a loud—and comical—sound. The physical slap stick remains a key component of the plot in the traditional and popular Punch and Judy puppet show. More contemporary examples of slapstick humor include The Three Stooges, The Naked Gun and Mr. Bean.
