Meaning "intentionally funny" first recorded 1791, and comedic (1630s) has since picked up the older sense of the word.Speaking of the masters of the comedic spirit (if I call it, as he does, the Comic Spirit, this darkened generation will suppose me to refer to the animal spirits of tomfools and merryandrews) ....
