Observational comedy is a form of humor based on the commonplace aspects of everyday life. It is one of the main types of humor in stand-up comedy.[1] In an observational comedy act the comedian "makes an observation about something from the backwaters of life, an everyday phenomenon that is rarely noticed or discussed."[2] The humor is based on the premise of "Have you ever noticed?"[2] (or "Did you ever notice?"),[3] which has become a comedy cliché.[2] "Observational humour usually took the form of long monologues of personal narrative, and the punch-line was either hard to predict or never came."[4]
