arXiv:2603.11048v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We propose a fully automated AI system that produces short comedic videos similar to sketch shows such as Saturday Night Live. Starting from character references, the system employs a population of agents loosely modeled on roles in real production studios and structured to optimize the quality and diversity of ideas and outputs through iterative competition, evaluation, and refinement. A key contribution is the introduction of LLM-based critics aligned with real viewer preferences through the analysis of a corpus of comedy videos on YouTube, enabling automatic evaluation of humor. We further propose multi-island relativistic evolution for script improvement, along with script-conditioned rendering critics that perform shot- and video-level tournaments. In both human and automated evaluations, COMIC receives higher scores than agentic and video generation baselines.
