This is best because a comedy is meant to be funny and happy. It is cheerful and puts smiles on people's faces.

Irony can be used to create humor or suspense. Shakespeare uses irony throughout his plays to create either one of these elements. We see irony in Romeo and Juliet when the entire audience knows the two lovers will die, but they do not. It is also used to create comedy when the audience knows Viola is dressed as a man when in actuality she is a girl.
Odysseus suggests he knew about the Zeus-Helios conversation because Odysseus was told by Calypso that Hermes had told him. ... His safe passage past Scylla is credited by Odysseus to the Father of Gods and men.
