What is a "farce"? I had looked up its definition from my dictionary. But I still did not know what a "farce" really was. Perhaps you can tell me the websites where I can watch a farce.Cited from Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary: Farce- a funny play for the theatre based on ridiculous and unlikely situations and events; this type of writing or performance.

Yes you are right. An example of a farce is Monty Python's film The Life of Brian, which is a farce based on the life of Jesus. It caused a lot of controversy at the beginning but it is now regarded as a classic farce.Have a look here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQqq3e03EBQ

A farce means a lie, an untruth, a situation where someone wants you to believe something, but it is a fabrication, or something that did not really happen. We have an idiom that says "they are pulling the wool over your eyes" or blinding you to reality, and trying to make you believe something that is not true. It is not something to watch on a website. It is an idea, not something you can see.

A farce is something that isn't really real. If somebody triggers a fire alarm but their really isn't a fire, then it was just a farce or a prank.

What's context of the word? Does your dictionary make you think you can watch it on a website? Basically it is a joke.
