Summary/Abstract: Comedy, laughter, is both a presence and a social necessity. Irony, humor, joke, satire, caricature are all forms of manifestation of laugh in art and society. Art of relationing by excellence, comedy supposes, in order to achieve its purpose, an emitter and a receiver equally informed and competent. The purpose of this work is to follow the evolution of this relationship of complicity when the transgression of art frontiers occurs.
