I love this video from "Every Frame a Painting" which also mourns the loss of physical comedy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FOzD4Sfgag

Well, there he mourns visual comedy, which is not exactly the same (you can have visual comedy without physical comedy -- well, aside from the performer doing its thing).

Visual comedy could be made in the editing, backgrounds, etc (as in many examples given in the video) even if the actors don't do physical comedy at all.

True of course, though the video does have some examples of physical comedy as well; no 7 in his list for example. Personally I love this example from Hot Stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30kUNex1cuI
