Visual gag

In comedy, a visual gag or sight gag is anything which conveys its humour visually, often without words being used at all. The gag may involve a physical impossibility or an unexpected occurrence.^[1] The humor is caused by alternative interpretations of the goings-on.^[2] Visual gags are used in magic, plays, and acting on television or movies.
