Can the word "comedy" be used as adjective?
Can the word "comedy" be used as adjective?

At 1:32 in this YouTube video (https://youtu.be/8l6T3fwxAyw), the character said, "Wanna see an impression of my dad?" and the other answered, "Sure" then "Haha! Comedy."
Does the second guy use "comedy" as adjective to mean it's funny or he literally suggest the first guy's impression is like "a comedy"?

"Comedy" is a noun. It can become an adjective if you say "comedic."
The character in the video is calling the impression a comedy.
This kind of exchange is something we do sometimes in American English that expresses a kind of wry, dry humor. It's a little hard to explain. Someone can say something or give an impression, and the other person can say something like, "Haha. Humor." or "Aw. Tragedy."
