Words are words, but the way an actor says them, the way it's framed, puts you either in the world that looks a lot like ours or one that doesn't seem a lot like ours, one that can be farcical or one that can't.
Peter Sarsgaard
Image
It is almost irrestible for humans to believe that we have some special relation to the universe, that human life is not just a more-or-less farcical outcome of a chain of accidents reaching back to the first three minutes, but that we were somehow built in from the beginning.
Steven Weinberg

You give up the world line by line. Stoically. And then one day you realize that your courage is farcical. It doesn't mean anything. You've become an accomplice in your own annihilation and there is nothing you can do about it. Everything you do closes a door somewhere ahead of you. And finally there is only one door left.
Cormac McCarthy

Let no one mistake it for comedy, farcical though it may be in all its details. It serves notice on the country that Neanderthal man is organizing in these forlorn backwaters of the land, led by a fanatic, rid of sense and devoid of conscience.
H. L. Mencken

Most of the comedies I've done have been rather farcical and extravagant.

Human relationships are patterned and cross-patterned and restricted and limited and delimited and caged and freed again by the elaborate conventions, rules and games which we call civilisation. They're often absurd and farcical, and sometimes they're tragic, yet we acknowledge that they are necessary.
Peter Greenaway
Image
The mocker will not have the last laugh. You see, dancing on the grave of an extinguished Christianity is farcical at best. Because the grave is empty. And the one who knows the way out of the grave sits in the heavens and laughs.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Republicans advising candidates to grab onto the best elements of [his] anti-Washington populist agenda, but warning that Trump is a misguided missile, subject to farcical fits and candidates should avoid getting drawn into every Trump dust-up, but should quickly condemn some of his comments, including wacky things about women.
Dalia Mogahed

The negroes are lovers of ludicrous actions, and hence all their ceremonies seem farcical.
Isaac D'Israeli

If you're willing to go along for this farcical ride, you'll find 'Dead Snow 2' to be one terrific zombie movie.
Leonard Maltin
