This article reviews the part of Lacan's Lituraterre where the author mentions Aristophane's comedy Clouds. We want to enlarge its reading possibilities through the return to Aristophane's play and also, to other references of Lacanian work on comedy. We will show how the psychoanalysis' vision of comedy is connected to something called by Lacan as the rupture of semblants, creating a new way of linking the significant to the jouissance.
