  • Farce is the French word for stuffing. Farci means stuffed.
  • Farce bezeichnet im Theater eine aufgesetzte und überzogene Darstellung zur Unterhaltung des Publikums. Garak hält William Shakespeares Julius Cäsar für eine Farce und nicht für eine Tragödie. (DS9: )
  • From [[w:|]][[Category: derivations|Farce]] farcen < [[w:|]][[Category: derivations|Farce]] farsir, farcir < [[w:|]][[Category: derivations|Farce]] farcire (“‘to cram, stuff’”).
  • A farce was a comedic piece of literature that featured unusual and humorous situations. Slapstick was defined as "comedy stressing farce and horseplay." (TNG: "Suddenly Human" ) Elim Garak thought William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar was more of a farce than a tragedy as the Cardassian thought a man as intelligent as Julius Caesar would see that Brutus was going to assassinate him. (DS9: "Improbable Cause") In 2378, The Doctor declared that Tom Paris's alterations to Photons Be Free had changed it from a social commentary into an "insulting farce". (VOY: "Author, Author")
  • In theatre, a farce is a comedy which aims at entertaining the audience by means of unlikely, extravagant, and improbable situations, disguise and mistaken identity, verbal humor of varying degrees of sophistication, which may include word play, and a fast-paced plot whose speed usually increases, culminating in an ending which often involves an elaborate chase scene. Farces are often highly incomprehensible plot-wise (due to the large number of plot twists and random events that often occur), but viewers are encouraged not to try to follow the plot in order to avoid becoming confused and overwhelmed. Farce is also characterized by physical humor, the use of deliberate absurdity or nonsense, and broadly stylized performances. Farces have been written for the stage and film.
