I'm really not sure about the humor. Take a look at "Every Frame a Painting: Edgar Wright - How to Do Visual Comedy": ▶ this video
This is incredibly flawed in many respects. It’s not comparing actors, but the movies they starred in with different metrics for success. Those do not correlate. A mediocre actor featuring in Oscar-bait will fare better than a great actor who only works on low budget independent productions. > In general, critics seem to have a bias against comedy films. Rather, this article is very US-centric and those comedies are largely generic, unfunny, low effort movies of talking heads. ▶ this video
Reminds me of some of the videos from Every Frame a Painting about visual comedy in film. Specifically "Edgar Wright - How to Do Visual Comedy" [1] and "Buster Keaton - The Art of the Gag" [2]. They give and explain some great examples from different movies. [1] ▶ this video [2] link
I love this video from "Every Frame a Painting" which also mourns the loss of physical comedy: ▶ this video
Everything on screen matters. Modern Cinema is a HIGHLY evolved art form. If you have any interest in this at all, YouTube user Every Frame A Painting publishes, short, easily digestible, and well-produced YouTube videos about this stuff that are eye-opening. Here are a few of my favorites: Edgar Wright - How to Do Visual Comedy: ▶ this video The Silence of the Lambs - Who Wins the Scene? link Michael Bay - What is Bayhem? link
