Slapped In Face
It hurts to get slapped in the face. But it’s very funny to watch someone else get slapped in the face, and even funnier to be the one doing the slapping. If you don’t believe us, just as the Marquis de Sade. But it’s a comedic trope that’s been mined again and again, perfected perhaps in the movie “Airplane!” which featured an entire plane cabin lined up to slap a single unruly passenger.
