I have done some research on different types of humour in order to see which one would best fit my narrative for my main task. After this piece of research I'm going to start looking into what themes, characters and general narrative elements I can add in my main task and start a small amount of planning.
Anecdotal: Anecdotal comedy revolves around an anecdote which is a small personal story. These stories usually have aspects of comedy and the delivery of them should also be comedic.
Burlesque: This type of comedy ridicules by imitating with exaggerated characters and somewhat cartoonish representations of people. Used heavily in films like Zoolander.
Dark: This is usually based around grim or depressing situations dealing with misfortune with a pessimistic approach.
Hyperbolic: Very similar to burlesque, comic representation marked by exaggerations and outsized characterisation.
Juvenile: Humour including childish themes like pranks, name-calling and general immature behaviour.
Situational: This is humour that rises out of certain situations. Often used in sitcoms or specifically situational comedies.
