"Dramedy" is a neologism formed from a combination of the words [[Drama]] and [[Comedy]] to describe a genre of film and television, such as ''[[MashM*A*S*H (TV)|Mash]]'', blurring genre lines to combine comedy and drama elements in a consistent fashion. Though this has become popular in recent times, one of the first times the two genres were ever combined was in the [[Charlie Chaplin]] film ''[[The Kid]]'', making this [[Older Than They Think]].
 
Dramedies sometimes make use of [[Magic Realism]]. Due to its nature, the genre is especially vulnerable to [[Mood Whiplash]]. Despite Dramedies often having serious plotlines, expect to see them get lumped in with the sitcoms come award season.
