High Comedy: Comedy of a sophisticated and witty nature, often satirizing genteel society.
Low Comedy: Comedy characterized by slapstick, burlesque, and horseplay.
"few of the many examples of low comedy in Shakespeare are: the porter scene in Macbeth, Launcelot scene in As You Like It, and the Trinculo-Stephano-Caliban scene in The Tempest. The famous Falstaff scenes in King Henry the Fourth are examples of how Shakespeare could lift low comedy into pure comedy by stressing the human elements of character and by infusing an intellectual content into what might otherwise be buffoonery.
