These roles , among others , have made Eastwood an enduring cultural icon of masculinity . In a modern sense , comedy ( from the , " kmidía ") refers to any discourse or work generally intended to be humorous or amusing by inducing laughter , especially in theatre , television , film , and stand - up comedy . The origins of the term are found in Ancient Greece . In the Athenian democracy , the public opinion of voters was influenced by the political satire performed by the comic poets at the theaters . The theatrical genre of Greek comedy can be described as a dramatic performance which pits two groups or societies against each other in an amusing agon or conflict . Northrop Frye depicted these two opposing sides as a " Society of Youth " and a " Society of the Old ". A revised view characterizes the essential agon of comedy as a struggle between a relatively powerless youth and the societal conventions that pose obstacles to his hopes . In this struggle , the youth is understood to be constrained by his lack of social authority , and is left with little choice but to take recourse in ruses which engender very dramatic irony which provokes laughter . The Man with No Name is the protagonist portrayed by Clint Eastwood in Sergio Leone ' s " Dollars Trilogy " of Spaghetti Western films : " A Fistful of Dollars " ( 1964 ), " For a Few Dollars More " ( 1965 ) and " The Good , the Bad and the Ugly " ( 1966 ).

When Clint Eastwood was honored with the American Film Institute ' s Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996 Jim Carrey held the introductory speech and said : "' The Man With No Name ' had no name , so we could fill in our own ." In 2008 , " Empire " chose the Man With No Name as the 33rd greatest movie character of all time . ___MASK59___ comedy or dark comedy is a comic style that makes light of subjects that are generally considered serious or taboo . Literary critics have associated ___MASK59___ comedy and ___MASK59___ humor with authors as early as the ancient Greeks with Aristophanes . ___MASK59___ comedy corresponds to the earlier concept of gallows humor .
