The main humor in a farce usually stems from the increasingly futile attempts of one party to deceive another. The audience is made privy to the deception in the first moments of the story, and is thus free to laugh at the absurdity of the ever thinning deception, and the fact that the fooled party, or parties, continue to believe the story.

Often the story begins with only one deceiver, but as the farce progresses, each person who discovers the deception, is recruited into assisting it it. Other times, the characters, individually, or in groups, are all simultaneously deceiving one another and too wrapped up in maintaining their own deceit to realize they are being deceived by the others.

The set of a stage farce is, more often than not, riddled with doors thru which the characters are forever missing one another, often with one or more doors flying open at any time another is slammed shut, and staircases, which actors are constantly running and falling up and down, and which lead to upper levels with more doors, allowing for the simultaneous entrance and exits of characters, without either of them seeing one another, as one is exiting thru a door in the back wall, and the other entering out and not up or down at the other level.
