This mischaracterization of Dungeons & Dragons as comedy is utterly perplexing.
Each edition of D&D has included a degree of humor in their respective rulebooks and there are humorous references in quite a few officially published modules/adventures...but those are a far cry from "D&D is a comedic game." (implying that it is primarily comedic in tone). Play a funny campaign if you wish - by all means - but please refrain from the perpetuation of this incorrect portrayal.
You can perceive it however you want, but I'm not mischaracterizing anything. I never said the campaign had to be humorous. I said playing D&D, with a bunch of friends around a table, was always very humor-filled for me. The humor comes from how players choose to play their characters, and from how players react to events and outcomes in the game.
