The opportunity offered Haddish something she'd been longing for — not just the chance to work with Pinkett Smith and check another item off her Kevin Hart–inspired to-do list, but the chance to create a character that tapped into her strongest skill set as a performer: physical comedy.

For contrast, here is what professionals look like in the tube: I had imagined my time in the air as a trampoline of incalculable dreaminess; a place where I could backflip, spin, and execute all kinds of elegant and hilarious physical comedy, free from the annoyances of gravity.

The other is Holland March (Ryan Gosling, demonstrating a knack for physical comedy and squeaky-voiced panic), a hard-drinking, chain-smoking private eye with a 13-year-old daughter (Angourie Rice) to look after—although it would be more accurate to say that she looks after him.

The scene's physical comedy only heightens its subtler, sadder ironies, such as the exhaustion of having to perform under observation what you in fact are; the pained, fallen clown is so palpably the responsible and loving parent that the grimacing phony was straining to impersonate just moments before.

In the nearly three-hour run time, theatergoers follow Arnold from nights at a backroom bar (leading to some of the funniest physical comedy I've seen recently) to weekends away with his ex, to —finally — the real wallop of emotion: a visit from his mother (the perfect and powerful Mercedes Ruehl).

The role was created by Fierstein, but Urie makes it his own: There is so much humor and heart in his performance, moments of physical comedy and monologues of heartbreaking honesty, that it's impossible not to fall in love with the character, and with the actor who makes him come alive.

The poem allows for the whole range of experience as it skips from the implied irony of a lavish party to raise money for the arts to the dark physical comedy of Young's own body as it shambles through the endless insults, indignities, and micropolitics of the medical industrial complex.

Ross is most certainly problematic, and I would never want to date him, but I still can't help but think that he's the funniest character on the show, especially in the later seasons — this is beside the point, but David Schwimmer has undeniably impeccable comedic timing and his physical comedy was always excellent.

Season 6 begins with the honeymoon of Jake (Andy Samberg) and Amy (Melissa Fumero) and the pending promotion of Captain Holt (Andre Braugher) before presenting Gina with a stylish undercover assignment and a two-episode send-off, giving Peretti a chance to indulge in some of the physical comedy that makes her swoon.

Yeah, McCarthy's biggest shtick is the broadest of broad physical comedy, but her films — and it's safe to say she has a creative say in them, thanks to how often she contributes to their scripts or works on them as a producer — boast a refreshing lack of making fun of people for how they look.

At its core, Workin' Moms remains a comedy by finding the relatable humor in those situations, leaning into physical comedy where it can (again, breast milk) and mining extreme supporting characters like the leader of the Mommy and Me group, Val (Sarah McVie), Kate's boss Richard (Peter Keleghan), and Kate's semi-obsessive but sweet assistant Rosie (NIkki Duval).

What James did in that moment, like so much of what he did during these Finals, was astonishing in its own right, but it was also useful in another way: basketball is a lot more fun to watch when you don't let the pomp and heft of the moment crowd out the obvious physical comedy of it all.

In the new version, the patriarch and matriarch, Gomez and Morticia, are voiced by Oscar Isaac and Charlize Theron, who had some big shoes to fill: "Animation spares them from having to match the ingenious physical comedy of Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston," Ben Kenigsberg noted in his review of the new movie for The New York Times.

Use them, plus the quickly acquired energy leash (a whip, basically) and slides and kicks, alongside the game's "skillshots"—glory kill-style affairs, very many and varied, ranging from impaling an enemy on a cactus to physically launching them into the wide blue yonder—and everything adopts a rhythm and flow that rewards experimentation with both (redeemable) points and gleefully macabre physical comedy.

Before tonight I'd wondered why Bill Irwin, the astonishing performer who, between the video for Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy" and the role of Mr. Noodle on the "Sesame Street" segment "Elmo's World," had all but single-handedlly preserved a vaudevillian form of physical comedy, had signed on for the relatively thankless role of the neurotic neurologist Cary Loudermilk.

Mild gross-out humor (projectile vomit, cadavers baked into party cakes, etc.) is mashed together with poorly choreographed physical comedy (Holmes and Watson accidentally unleash a swarm of killer bees while trying to kill a single mosquito) and limp post-modern gags that poke fun at old technology (Watson telegrams someone a dick pic) or current events (a "Make England Great Again" hat precedes a conversation about how the Electoral College will always protect America from tyrannical grifters).
