In reply to Claudio. I think this works, although "humorist" is not a very common word. "Humorist" is interesting; a humorist is not a comedian, but is more of an intellectual person. So I suppose a humorist would address a serious situation seriously, but would then use a small bit of humor to make a bigger point.

In reply to Eugene. I'm glad you saw it! "Comic relief" is a concept, so it can't be made plural. You can say, "It contained one of the best instances of comic relief that I have ever seen in a movie."

Humorists use comic relief a lot. When asked about tense subjects, they usually put comic relief in the answer.

Recently, following Jeff’s recomendation I watched movie “Sully” directed by Cling Eastwood. It contained one of the best comic reliefs I have ever seen in movies. Answering the question of what he would have done differently the second pilot said: “I woud have done it in July”.

Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas is You”, the song will lead you to get in the Christmas spirit. Make you cheerful “Christmas Tree Farm” by Taylor Swift is great to hear. I've even noticed the lyric has an expression "bundle up" I have learned from the first episode (Mexico hit with 3 big earthquakes) on Plain English.
