Silliness is defined as engaging in "a ludicrous folly",[1] showing a "lack of good sense or judgment",[2] or "the condition of being frivolous, trivial, or superficial".[3] In television, film, and the circus, portrayals of silliness such as exaggerated, funny behaviour are used to amuse audiences.
