"Play (something) for laughs" = Chỉ chơi cho vui, cho mọi người cười/gây tiếng cười cho mọi người.
Ví dụ
He's a full foot taller than she, which they sometimes play for laughs. But it also makes sense. She's tiny, but tough; he's a bear, but a softie.
Ferrell is a major source of the problem. His casting as husband Pete dulls the movie’s inciting incident, because viewers have been conditioned to see him as just the kind of buffoon (anh hề) who might run away from his family in an impending disaster. With Ferrell in the lead, everything becomes a joke, and it’s often unclear whether the writers intended for him to play for laughs or if that’s just the way Ferrell’s gangly, wide-eyed shtick renders material this tonally confused.
What Fulljames never anticipated when asked to work on the opera was the opportunity to play for laughs. “When I met Adams early on, I was expecting to have an earnest conversation about politics, but his principal concern and advice to me was ‘get the humour right’, which, it soon became clear to me, was all about it’s importance in humanising the characters, not about creating caricatures (tranh biếm hoạ) and not about being crude. So Kissinger needing to excuse himself to go to the toilet is deeply human, and it should be funny, but it shouldn’t turn him into a figure who’s lampooned (đả kích, bài bác).”
