Ancient Greek comedy was one of the final three principal dramatic forms in the theatre of classical Greece (the others being tragedy and the satyr play). Athenian comedy is conventionally divided into three periods, Old Comedy, Middle Comedy, and New Comedy. Old Comedy survives today largely in the form of the eleven surviving plays of Aristophanes, while Middle Comedy is largely lost, i.e. preserved only in relatively short fragments in authors such as Athenaeus of Naucratis. New Comedy is known primarily from the substantial papyrus fragments of Menander. The philosopher Aristotle wrote in his Poetics (c. 335 BC) that comedy is a representation of laughable people and involves some kind of blunder or ugliness which does not cause pain or disaster.C. A. Trypanis wrote that comedy is the last of the great species of poetry Greece gave to the world.
The Alexandrine grammarians, and most likely Aristophanes of Byzantium in particular, seem to have been the first to divide Greek comedy into what became the canonical three periods: Old Comedy (archaia), Middle Comedy (mese) and New Comedy (nea). These divisions appear to be largely arbitrary, and ancient comedy almost certainly developed constantly over the years.

Näin unta, siinä lentokone putosi
Metsän taakse, oli talvi oli pimeä
Viikon päästä siitä isä ajoi kolarin
Pässi kuoli, tiesin tätähän se merkitsi
Kului vuosi, sitten äiti joutui sairaalaan
Isoveli Helsinkiin opiskelemaan
Viikonloppuisin luin Herman Hesseä
Elämä oli muutenkin sekavaa
Heeeei, herra Nukkumatti
ei enneunia tänään kiitos
Heeeei, herra Nukkumatti
anna minun nukkua rauhassa
Näin unta Mihail Gorbatshovista
sekä Merjasta, me teimme lapsia
Kohta Mihail jäi pois politiikasta
