comedy

I have a hard time connecting Ability to comedy. When I think of it, all I can imagine is the Comedia de l'arte, stock characters in Italian comedy like Pulcinella (a groucho marx character type--or Hawkye Pierce in Mash), etc. There is some comedy, like with the guy who can eat tons of food and not get fat or sick, or the macho swordfighter, or the ability to slap down someone with sarcasm, or even the ability to toss your hat across the room and have it land neatly and squarely on the hatrack every time. Are these the types of ability dramatica talks about, or have I got it all wrong?
