| 7 | -->-- '''Valerie Cherish''', ''Series/TheComeback'' |

| 9 | "Dramedy" is a {{neologism}} formed from a combination of the words {{Drama|Tropes}} and {{Comedy}} to describe a genre of film and television, such as ''Series/{{MASH}}'', blurring genre lines to combine comedy and drama elements in a consistent fashion. Though this has become popular in recent times, these two genres have actually been combined for centuries, known as "Tragicomedy", making this OlderThanTheyThink. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Dramedies sometimes make use of MagicRealism. Due to its nature, the genre is especially vulnerable to MoodWhiplash. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Note that a dramedy is not just "drama with some comedic elements" or "a comedy with some serious moments". It must contain about equal parts drama and comedy. Elements of comic relief can appear in all but the very darkest dramas, and most stories have at least ''some'' serious elements. Because of this, expect to see them get lumped in with the sitcoms come award season (this can actually serve as a litmus test for if a show is dramedy or straight drama—can you imagine it being nominated in the same award category as a sitcom?) |
| 14 | |
| 15 | While many stories contain both comedy and drama, a true Dramedy must belong to the {{genre}} of Drama - defined by stories focusing on CharacterDevelopment, intense emotions and inner conflict as the primary source of plot. Just because it’s ''dark'', doesn’t mean it’s a drama. Sci-fi, action-adventure stories, superhero stories and {{Shonen}} adventures rarely qualify as Drama. Even if the comedy and drama are equally balanced with each other, if both are clearly subservient to the adventure story, it is not a dramedy. |

| 24 | * ''Manga/AceOfTheDiamond'' |
| 25 | * ''Anime/{{Air}}'' |
| 26 | * ''Anime/BDamanCrossfire'' |
| 27 | * ''Anime/BuddyDaddies'' |
| 28 | * ''Anime/CaseFileNoTwoTwoOneKabukicho'' |
| 29 | * ''Manga/{{Chobits}}'' |
| 30 | * ''Manga/ACoupleOfCuckoos'': It leans noticeably more toward drama for drama's sake than Miki Yoshikawa's former series, but still remains lighthearted thanks to its large amount of {{Wild Take}}s and ''[[BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine manzai]]'' comedy. |
| 31 | * ''Manga/TheDemonGirlNextDoor'' |
| 32 | * ''Anime/ElCazadorDeLaBruja'' |
| 33 | * ''Manga/FirefighterDaigoRescuerInOrange'' |
| 34 | * ''Manga/FlunkPunkRumble'': The first third of the series is almost pure comedy, but later on the series starts to focus more on interpersonal drama and the characters' worries and backstories (though it still features plenty of goofiness and remains very light-hearted). |
| 35 | * ''Manga/FruitsBasket'' starts out as a fairly light-hearted and comedic story about a girl who meets a family where some of them [[{{Animorphism}} turn into animals from the Chinese zodiac when hugged]], but even early on there are hints at more serious drama beneath the surface. The dramatic elements become more prominent as the story continues and various characters' backstories and personal issues are revealed, though it never completely loses its sense of humor. |
| 36 | * ''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka'' |
| 37 | * ''Manga/GTOTheEarlyYears'' |
| 38 | * ''Anime/{{Hamatora}}'' |
| 39 | * ''Manga/HidamariSketch'' (mainly Honeycomb and Sotsugyou-hen; the ending to the anime series) |
| 40 | * Creator/ImitationCrystal - His work, especially his later titles, fits into this given his range of exploring the themes of sadness and loneliness through a philosophical perspective mixed with dry comedy and characters. |
| 41 | ** ''Manga/GameClub'' |
| 42 | ** ''Manga/SpectralWizard'' |
| 43 | ** ''Manga/KraunessaTheBlackStagne'' |
| 44 | * ''Manga/IsTheOrderARabbit'' |
| 45 | * ''Manga/{{Kodocha}}'' |

| 48 | * ''Manga/LoveOfKill'' |
| 49 | * ''Manga/{{Mahoromatic}}'' |
| 50 | * ''Manga/MaisonIkkoku'': Widely considered to be the UrExample in manga/anime, especially given the directorial style of the anime. |
| 51 | * ''Manga/TheMasterfulCatIsDepressedAgainToday'' |
| 52 | * ''Webcomic/MobPsycho100'' |
| 53 | * ''Anime/MonColleKnights'' |
| 54 | * ''Manga/NoMatterHowILookAtItItsYouGuysFaultImNotPopular'' plays much of the {{Otaku}} main character's social anxiety for CringeComedy, but also demonstrates just how depressed and unwell such a person would be in a similar fashion to ''Literature/WelcomeToTheNHK''. |
| 55 | * ''Manga/NonNonBiyori'' (especially towards the end) |
| 56 | * ''Anime/OjamajoDoremi'' |
| 57 | * ''Manga/OshiNoKo'': A story that combines both humor with the [[HorribleHollywood dark side of the entertainment industry]], mostly evenly split between the two main characters of the story. |
| 58 | * ''Manga/PoliceInAPod'' |
| 59 | * ''Anime/PompoTheCinephile'' |
| 60 | * ''Anime/PrincessTutu'' |
| 61 | * ''Manga/SakuraDiscord'' is pretty much equally split between serious parts and comedic parts. |
| 62 | * Arguably almost every Creator/StudioGhibli film, with the notable exception of ''Anime/GraveOfTheFireflies'', which is notorious for being their [[DarkerAndEdgier most depressing film]] with almost no humorous moments. Even most of their heavier [[TrueArtIsAngsty tearjerker]] films such as ''Anime/TheTaleOfThePrincessKaguya'' still have plenty of humour and lighthearted moments, while even their DenserAndWackier films such as ''Anime/MyNeighborsTheYamadas'' still have plenty of slower and sadder drama moments. |
| 63 | * ''Manga/SchoolLive'' |
| 64 | * ''Manga/SlowLoop'', for being a Magazine/MangaTimeKirara series, has more dramatic elements and underlying sadness than one would normally expect from one of their stories. |
| 65 | * ''Manga/StardustTelepath'', on a similar note from the same magazine, has a heavy mix of both. |
| 66 | * Creator/{{Tsukumizu}} - Known for his whimsical melancholic Main/{{Iyashikei}} that combine comedy and drama to create a {{Deconstruction}} of sorts for each of his works that get unraveled the more the story goes along. |
| 67 | ** ''Manga/GirlsLastTour'' |
| 68 | ** ''Manga/ShimejiSimulation'' |
| 69 | * ''Manga/UnderNinja'' |
| 70 | * ''Anime/WeatheringWithYou'' |
| 71 | * ''Manga/YamadaKunAndTheSevenWitches'' - while it's a very light and idealistic story and features plenty of comedy in all but a few chapters, it's still a drama at heart given that the plot is driven by emotional conflicts and sad backstories. |
| 72 | * ''Manga/YourLieInApril'' - mostly a gentle drama with topics such as inspiration and relationships, but there is a fair amount of humorous moments. |
| 73 | * ''Manga/YowamushiPedal'' |
| 74 | * ''Manga/Zom100BucketListOfTheDead'' |
| 75 | * ''Anime/ZombieLandSaga'' presents a very interesting case in which the sheer absurdity of literal zombies being used as idol singers also gets explored with the very real sadness and trauma that comes with being undead, giving us a show which isn't afraid of making plenty of jokes of the strange premise while also using it to explore the very real and tragic circumstances the main characters died in, as well as how they handle their new lives. |

| 545 | * ''Literature/CiaphasCain'': A MilitaryScienceFiction series starring ThePoliticalOfficer to (for the most part) an Imperial Guard mechanized regiment that finds humor in the grim, dark future of the 41st Millennium wherever it can. It's one of the few modern pieces of ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' media that still keeps in mind that the setting was always supposed to be a little goofy. |

| 561 | * Paul Murray's books tend to fit this genre: |
| 562 | ** Literature/SkippyDies is a character study of a group of troubled teens, and would be an outright tragedy if not for the large amounts of humor. |
| 563 | ** ''Literature/TheMarkAndTheVoid'': A farce about the banking system that takes its characters seriously and packs in a lot of social and political criticism. |

| 781 | * ''Series/TurnerAndHooch2021'' |
| 782 | * ''Series/TwoUpTwoDown'' was confusingly billed as a Comedy Drama, when it was more of a conventional {{Sitcom}}. Creator/SuPollard found this ludicrous and blamed it for the series' lack of success. |
| 783 | * ''Creator/TylerPerry's Series/HouseOfPayne'' |

| 792 | * ''Series/WhiskeyCavalier'' |
| 793 | * ''Series/WhyWomenKill'': The basic premise -- three women across different eras are all driven to kill by their traitorous husbands -- is straight out of a dramatic thriller. However, the show has a ''very'' dark sense of humor that keeps it from being a straight drama. |
| 794 | * ''Series/{{Wilfred}}''. At first glance, it looks like just another sitcom full of black comedy and crude humor. But the series gradually becomes more of a comedy-drama / psychological thriller about a young man trying to deal with his failing mental health and social relationships. |
| 795 | * ''Series/Willow2022'' |
| 796 | * ''Series/TheWire'' |
| 797 | * ''Series/TheWonderYears''. One of the first TV series to be widely promoted as a dramedy, popularizing the term. |

| 809 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 810 | * Music/DeadKennedys make angry songs about very dark and serious political topics, but they take the piss out of it at the same time. |
| 811 | * Music/SystemOfADown, possibly the only group that can fit in songs about mass genocide and Kombucha Mushroom People on the same album. |

| 814 | [[folder:Podcast]] |
| 815 | * ''Podcast/BatmanTheAudioAdventures'': An equal-parts humorous, dramatic, and horrific take on the ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' mythos. |
| 816 | * ''{{Podcast/Frootch}}'': Even though it talks about the misadventures of a stand-up comedian wannabe, comedic moments are overshadowed by key plot points being dramatic (especially on the second season). |

| 823 | * ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'' |
| 824 | * ''Theatre/LittleShopOfHorrors'' |
| 825 | * ''Theatre/OnGoldenPond'' |
| 826 | * Creator/WilliamShakespeare made much of his plays to be this. His tragedies often had several light moments, and his comedies often had several dark and sad moments. |
| 827 | ** ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream'' - Possibly the oldest, well-known example. |
| 828 | ** ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' - Many people back then interpreted the play as a BlackComedy, and light moments are interspersed throughout the tragedy. |
| 829 | *** Many of the characters are straight out of CommediaDellArte: Romeo and Juliet are the ''Innamorati'', Friar Lorenzo the ''Tartaglia'', Mercutio the ''Arlecchino'', Benvolio the ''Pierrot'' and Tybalt the ''Capitano''. |
| 830 | * ''Theatre/SheKillsMonsters'' |

| 834 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 835 | |
| 836 | * ''VideoGame/{{MOTHER}}'' - There's a reason why the {{tagline}}s include "No crying until the end" and "Strange. Funny. Heartrendering." |
| 837 | ** ''VideoGame/Mother3'' fits the bill here ''the most'' out of the trilogy. |
| 838 | * The ''VideoGame/{{Oddworld}}'' series' overarching plot is about slavery, HumanResources, and voodoo, with the BigBadDuumvirate consisting of [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Corrupt Corporate Executives]] that are played for horror and do things such as [[spoiler:Dropping [[PlayerCharacter Abe]] in a meat grinder and torturing him to death with electricity]] in the bad endings of the first and second game respectively. However, the games also have a ton of {{Slapstick}}, ToiletHumour and BlackComedy in both cutscenes and gameplay and the many ways Abe can die range from comical to downright hilarious. The tone varies per game, though, as ''VideoGame/OddworldMunchsOddysee'', though not without dark moments, has a mostly comical tone. ''VideoGame/OddworldSoulstorm'' on the other hand, goes all out with its dark tone. |
| 839 | * ''VideoGame/SamAndMaxTheDevilsPlayhouse'', compared the more laid-back and comedic franchise it's a part of, is the series' attempt at being a true balance between comedy and drama, with the game getting progressively darker and less silly as it goes along. As it was designed to be GrandFinale to Sam and Max's story that started in 1987, it's easy to see why this was done. |
| 840 | * ''VideoGame/YIIKAPostModernRPG'' contains humorous moments of the 1990s while having an intense plot involving the fate of a missing woman and the entire world. |
| 841 | [[/folder]] |
| 842 | |
| 843 | [[folder:Visual Novels]] |
| 844 | * ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' features wacky and outlandish characters and supremely zany CourtroomAntics, mixed with often intense and dramatic murder mysteries. |
| 845 | * ''VideoGame/AITheSomniumFiles'' |
| 846 | * ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'' |
| 847 | * ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' |
| 848 | * ''VisualNovel/ExtracurricularActivities'' |
| 849 | * ''VisualNovel/MinotaurHotel'' - A story centering around the Minotaur's traumatic past while still managing to have a tone that's both lighthearted and leisurely. |
| 850 | * ''VisualNovel/{{Morenatsu}}'' |
| 851 | * ''VisualNovel/NoThankYou'', especially during the NewGamePlus. |
| 852 | * ''VisualNovel/OneThousandLies'' |
| 853 | * Sukeban Games, the makers of ''VisualNovel/VA11HALLA,'' make most of their games this, as they feel like Comedy-Dramas are uncommon in the video game/visual novel medium.[[note]] Considering the relatively small size of this folder and the one directly above, they've got a point.[[/note]] |

| 868 | * ''Webcomic/SuicideBoy'' |
| 869 | * ''Webcomic/TailsGetsTrolled'': A BloodyHilarious StylisticSuck webcomic with cartoon characters committing murder, until [[MoodWhiplash it isn't at all]]. |

| 872 | [[folder:Web Original]] |
| 873 | * ''WebAnimation/AlfredsPlayhouse'' |
| 874 | * ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee''. ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'' too, but in a more MoodWhiplash-y sense. |
| 875 | * ''WebVideo/DemoReel''. After the NonIndicativeFirstEpisode. |
| 876 | * ''WebVideo/{{Dad}}'' |
| 877 | * ''WebVideo/DharMann'', the Jay and Mikey storylines are a lot more humorous than most of the other storylines. While these characters introduced more comedy into the series, the dramatic and serious themes never went away, giving it this feel. |
| 878 | * ''WebAnimation/DrHavocsDiary'' from [[WhamEpisode Episode 15, "Kim Leaves",]] and afterwards. |
| 879 | * ''WebVideo/FriendshipIsForAdults''- The first two episodes [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness not so much]], the episodes after that however... |
| 880 | * ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'' - While the series starts out as mostly goofy (albeit frequently dark and crass) comedy, [[CerebusSyndrome more dramatic elements seep into the narrative]]; in particular, Bltizo's complicated transactional relationship with Stolas is initially PlayedForLaughs before being ''brutally'' deconstructed, with both characters getting put through the emotional wringer. |
| 881 | * ''WebVideo/TheLizzieBennetDiaries'' |
| 882 | * ''WebAnimation/MinilifeTV'' started out as mostly a comedy series, but it [[CerebusSyndrome shifted in this direction]] around Season 4. |
| 883 | * ''WebAnimation/TheMostPopularGirlsInSchool'', at least from the start of Season 3 onwards (but with most of the emphasis still on the comedy side). |
| 884 | * ''WebVideo/PrettyDudes'' – after its comedic plot set up, the show begins digging into serious topics while maintaining its raunchy humor. |
| 885 | * ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'' – especially from Season 6 and onward. |
| 886 | * ''WebVideo/ScootertrixTheAbridged''- ''Especially'' after Episode 14. |
| 887 | * ''WebVideo/SuperMarioLogan'' |
| 888 | * ''WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers'' [[CerebusSyndrome shifted into this direction]] during the Waluigi arc. |
| 889 | * ''WebVideo/SwordArtOnlineAbridged'': Uniquely for an [[TheAbridgedSeries abridged series]], while it's mostly a comedic show, Kirito actually grows and develops over the series and many of its key dramatic scenes are played straight, such as the deaths of [[spoiler:Sachi and Yui]], the battle against Gleam Eyes (and Kirito's demonstration of his {{character development}}), and even the development of Asuna and Kirito's relationship. [[spoiler:Sachi]]'s death in particular is notable for [[AdaptationalAngstUpgrade leaving an even bigger impact on Kirito than it did in the original]], as his failure to save her continually haunts him. The final scene of the first season is played as much for poignancy as we learn [[spoiler:how tragic the BigBad Kayaba's story really is]] and see Kirito and Asuna share a final, heartfelt moment before leaving the in-universe game for good. |
| 890 | * ''WebVideo/YogscastMinecraftSeries''- specifically ''Shadow of Israphel''. |

| 893 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 894 | * ''WesternAnimation/TwelveOunceMouse'' |
| 895 | * The ''Rita and Runt'' segments on ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' (the rest of the series is purely a comedy, but these segments are more tragic than the rest). |
| 896 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}} [[WesternAnimation/ArcherDreamland Dreamland]]'' (the rest of the series is purely a comedy, but Dreamland is considerably DarkerAndEdgier) |
| 897 | * ''WesternAnimation/AsToldByGinger'' |
| 898 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Birdgirl}}'' |

| 916 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'' |
| 917 | * ''WesternAnimation/MissionHill'' |
| 918 | * ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'' is an interesting example. It started out as a ''Series/LeaveItToBeaver'' parody and [[CerebusSyndrome eventually developed into this]]. But a lot of the elements played for drama in later seasons (Clay's drinking, etc.) are played purely for laughs in the early episodes. Making the first season [[HarsherInHindsight much darker when rewatched]]. |
| 919 | * ''WesternAnimation/OutThere'' |
| 920 | * ''WesternAnimation/PINYInstituteOfNewYork'' |
| 921 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamily'' |
| 922 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamilyLouderAndProuder'' |
| 923 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheRaccoons'' |
| 924 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' (A bit more comedy, however the show does balance drama with comedy a lot, more so in the first ten seasons) |
| 925 | * ''WesternAnimation/SummerMemories'' |
| 926 | * ''WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries'' |
| 927 | * ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' |
