Many comedic genres (including jokes, prose, poems, black comedy, blue comedy, insult comedy, cringe comedy and skits) can incorporate vulgar elements.</p> <p>Most commonly labeled as "off-color" are acts concerned with sex, a particular ethnic group, or gender. Other off-color topics include violence, particularly domestic abuse; excessive swearing or profanity; "toilet humor" / scatological humor; national superiority or inferiority, pedophilic content, and any other topics generally considered impolite or indecent. Generally, the point of off-color humor is to induce laughter by evoking a feeling of shock and surprise in the comedian's audience.

New Hollywood

<p><b>New Hollywood</b> or post-classical Hollywood, sometimes referred to as the "<b>American New Wave</b>", refers to the time from roughly the late-1960s (<i>Bonnie and Clyde</i>, <i>The Graduate</i>) to the early 1980s (<i>Heaven's Gate</i>, <i>One from the Heart</i>) when a new generation of young filmmakers came to prominence in America, influencing the types of films produced, their production and marketing, and the way major studios approached filmmaking. In New Hollywood films, the film director took on a key authorial role.</p> <p>The films they made were part of the studio system, and although these individuals were not "independent filmmakers", they introduced subject matter and styles that set them apart from the studio traditions that an earlier generation had established ca. 1920sâ€"1950s. New Hollywood has also been defined as a broader filmmaking movement influenced by this period, which has been called the "Hollywood renaissance".</p> <p></p> <h2><span id="Background_</h2>

Joke

<p>A <b>joke</b> is something spoken, written, or done with humorous intention. Jokes may have many different forms, e.g., a single word or a gesture (considered in a particular context), a question-answer, or a whole short story. The word "joke" has a number of synonyms, including <i>wisecrack</i>, gag, prank, quip, jape and <i>jest</i>. To achieve their end, jokes may employ irony, sarcasm, word play and other devices. Jokes may have a punch line, i.e., an ending to make it humorous.</p> <p>A practical joke or prank differs from a spoken joke in that the major component of the humour is physical rather than verbal (for example placing salt in the sugar bowl).</p> <p></p> <h2><span id="Purpose">Purpose</span></h2><br><br> <p>Jokes are typically for the entertainment of friends and onlookers. The desired response is generally laughter; when this does not happen the joke is said to have "fallen flat" or "bombed". However, jokes have other purposes and functions, common to comedy/humour/</p>

Circa

<p><b>Circa</b> (from Latin, meaning "around, about"), usually abbreviated <b>c.</b>, <b>ca</b> or <b>ca.</b> (also <b>circ.</b> or <b>cca.</b>), means "approximately" in several European languages including English, usually in reference to a date. Circa is widely used in genealogy and historical writing when the dates of events are not accurately known. When used in date ranges, "circa" is applied before each approximate date, while dates without "circa" immediately preceding them are generally assumed to be known with certainty. For example,</p> <ul><li>1732â€"1799: both years are known precisely.</li> <li>c.<span> 1732</span> â€" 1799: only the end year is known accurately; the start year is approximate.</li> <li>1732 â€" c.<span> 1799</span>: only the start year is known accurately; the end year is approximate.</li> <li>c.<span> 1732</span> â€" c.<span> 1799</span>: both years are approximate.</li> </ul><h2><span id="See_also">See also</span></h2><br><br> <ul><li>Floruit</</li></ul>
