My Structure for Comedy

A character wants a feeling - respect, love, freedom, control, etc.

A character enters their world and wants a relationship with them but the main character refuses to form one with them.

That feeling is brought about by specific people or a person in their life.  That relationship is severed during the inciting incident.

Now some incident in their past they caused haunts them.

The character tries to reconcile with the severed relationship character.  but they won't reconcile.

The character decides to cut themselves off completely from the severed relationship character.

The character forms a relationship with a new character.

IN terms of Genre:

Comedy Comedy - The past haunting incident is funny
Action Comedy - The past haunting incident is actiony
Horror Comedy - The past haunting incident is scary
Etc.
