May still apply if a few things from the above list are missing. However, comedy, exaggeration, and extravagance are fairly indispensable. In many cases, only the audience sees the comedy and/or farceness without any characters within the fiction realizing.

Note, this tag most certainly can apply to the content of a game; also it may apply to the game itself as a whole experience. A farce perpetrated on the player or an audience observing the player.
