1. a character in a story that brings a light comic air into the work. Just as a hero brings heroism. The comic Relief usually does some halirious or haliriously stupid quip (stupid as in the example below)
Hero: Give me the girl off the train tacks, CR, I am going to ride off into the sunset!
Comic Relief:Gee, I don't think the young lady would like to be ridden into the sunset...
