A comic duo is a pair of comedians or actors, usually two men, who perform a comedy act in which the entertainment comes as a result of the surprising difference in character between the two men. Typically, a comedy duo consists of a serious or deadpan "straight man" and a ridiculous, energetic "funny man". Ya got that right, Lewis! Um, well, yes. Excellent, excellent. However, although their names may suggest so, the "funny man" is not always the one who gets the most laughs; in fact, the straight man's sarcasm or seriousness can also be a cause of laughter. Ya got that right, Lewis!
