Vaudeville

[Tanya Shivari]

A kind of song of a lively character, frequently
embodying a satire on some person or event, sung to a familiar air in
couplets with a refrain; a street song; a topical song.

[Becky]

Incredibly stupid but [funny stuff] like hitting a short fat englishman with a pie, telling jokes in a loud voice and the [straight man] would say something like I Dont know why do if you are a young brat you will not remember [Bugs Bunny] who used a lot of Vaudeville references. Brats with your portable gaming consoles and hair gel!

[Sommer]

A dead form of entertainment buried with TV as its [casket]. Back in the days of vaudeville, everyone had a specialty. Certain vaudevillian performers were [tumblers]. As dead as [ska] but also it is actually dead and more people like vaudeville than ska.

[Becky]

A type of entertainment popular chiefly in the US in the early 20th century, featuring a mixture of specialty acts such as burlesque comedy and song and dance.
