While comedies are generally thought to spread joy, sentiment analysis shows their emotional impact isn’t much higher than other genres. A low correlation between ratings and sentiment tells us that being “happy” doesn’t guarantee being “good.”

**Detective:** “Look at this—100% of Oscar-winning films from Slovenia are comedies. Impressive, until you realize… they’ve only won one Oscar.”

To uncover which countries produce the most critically acclaimed comedies, we analyzed Oscar nominations and wins. By calculating the percentage of Oscar-winning comedies out of all award-winning films from each country, we uncovered some unexpected insights.
Countries like Slovenia, Azerbaijan, Zimbabwe, and Bosnia and Herzegovina boast a 100% success rate for comedies—every Oscar-winning film from these nations is a comedy. However, a deeper look at the data reveals that these perfect scores come from a single Oscar win in each country, which happened to be for a comedy.

Comedy consistently contributes to box office revenues across countries, with some nations showing particularly strong reliance on this genre.Even though comedies revenues represent a smaller percentage of the United States box office revenues than Serbia or Montenegro, in absolute value it is still more profitable to make a comedy in the USA, since the United State of America produces such an important part of the movies.

The variety of genres associated with comedies have not stopped growing since the Hollywood golden age, while some genres are always well represented throughout the year such as comedy-drama there are some newcomers for example the 2010’s have seen the emergence of the Horror comedy genre.

*Love* and *money* emerge as a consistently prominent theme, showing a steady and positive proportion throughout the decades, reinforcing their timeless important role in the comedy genre. War exhibits a declining trend after the 1940’s, this could be due to the post-traumatic period of the second world war.

**Detective:** "The same themes appear across all box-office revenue ranges, but their proportions vary, topics like *love* and *money* dominate in higher revenue brackets."

For a producer aiming to maximize box office revenues, focusing on a comedy with a *love* theme is a statistically safer bet than a comedy centered around the gender theme. While a gender-themed comedy can still achieve success, romantic comedies have a higher probability of thriving at the box office, making them a more reliable choice for financial success.

**Analyst:** “Apparently the sector did not wait for our analysis to put an emphasis on romance-comedy movies, they always have been classics and stay classics.”
The heatmap illustrates the frequency of sub-genre combinations in comedy movies, with darker colors representing lower occurrences and brighter colors indicating higher occurrences.
Insight : The data reveals that certain sub-genre pairings, like romantic comedies or family-oriented films, are tried-and-true formulas in the domain. Less common combinations, such as comedies incorporating "Thriller" or "Crime," could offer opportunities for innovation but might also come with higher risks of negative reactions due to their niche nature.

**Detective:** “Genres evolve with the times and place. What worked in the ‘90s doesn’t always land today. In what environment do they evolve better? You always need to learn and adapt from your environment.”
**Detective:** "Romance rules, and family-friendly laughs are always a hit, but hey—there’s gold in those untapped niches if you’ve got the guts to dig for it."

The success of comedy genres varies significantly based on the cultural and regional context in which a movie is produced. For instance, if we aim to produce a successful comedy in the USA, a romantic comedy would maximize our chances of success. Conversely, in France, a comedy-drama would be the ideal choice, it certainly aligns better with the tastes of the French viewers. Understanding these regional nuances is crucial for tailoring comedic elements to the audience's cultural expectations.

- Collaborations: Stick with creative teams that know their audience.
- Titles & Timing: Nail the first impression and hit theaters when audiences are most receptive.
**Detective:**** "After unraveling the numbers, the themes, and the trends, it’s clear that crafting a successful comedy is both an art and a science. From timeless themes like love that resonates with audiences across decades, to the importance of timing, titles, and cultural context, the formula is anything but simple. A strong collaboration behind the scenes and a balance between audience and critic expectations are key ingredients. While sequels often fails, the right mix of originality and familiarity can keep the comedy genre going. Remember, comedy may be subjective, but if you get it right, the rewards are universal.
