Widely described as a ‘game changer’ for challenging what stand-up comedy can achieve, the special has been called ‘post comedy’ by commentators and other comedians – although this is not always used as a complimentary review. The Netflix version of the live show, which Gadsby has nicknamed “Nanettflix”, was filmed live at the Sydney Opera House in January 2018 after the show had already won many international awards including in Melbourne, Edinburgh, London and New York. This article considers Gadbsy’s live show Nanette and the subsequent Netflix special as an innovative combination of comedy content and (post television) form, exploring how the combination of the artists’ distinct and masterful voice was delivered to an international audience via the internet distributor Netflix. To build this argument, segments of the special itself are analysed, as is commentary about the show’s reach, testimony from live audience members, an interview with producer Madeline Parry and related press. Importantly, the comedian’s articulation of how comedy works in terms of identity will be explored in terms of existing comedy scholarship, with her challenges to key ideas around ‘tension’ and ‘release’ considered as fundamental the final screen special’s effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":38662,"journal":{"name":"Comedy Studies","volume":"12 1","pages":"29 - 39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2040610X.2020.1850102","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45584457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the past few decades, humour has been rapidly included in the online world, often in the form of visual media. From stand-up and satire, to sketch comedy and parodies, YouTube has emerged as a flexible medium of communication. With the expansion of what is considered “funny,” various niche forms of comedy have emerged, including absurdist comedy. The Lonely Island is a sketch comedy trio comprising of Akiva Schaffer, Andy Samberg, and Jorma Taccone. It has gained massive popularity on YouTube and the American show Saturday Night Live. This paper attempts to understand the essence of the humour used by The Lonely Island by analyzing their most formidable digital short, The Shooting (Dear Sister), and two of their songs (Like a Boss, and YOLO). In this process, the paper explores how absurdist or ‘stupid comedy’ is rich with data that provides insight into millennial and internet psychology. The analysis of their original content is aimed at providing a deeper understanding of the manner in which absurdism can be transformed into a unique brand of humour that is both popular and contextually relevant.","PeriodicalId":38662,"journal":{"name":"Comedy Studies","volume":"12 1","pages":"65 - 74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2040610X.2020.1850105","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45356946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is, as suggested by many critics, one of the most painful demonstrations of the human predicament in Shakespeare’s oeuvre. But with the introduction of the Fool, Shakespeare artistically threads through the tragic elements of his work a delicate strand of comedy. The Fool is described by some Shakespeare scholars as a bitter character and by some as a mysterious and enigmatic one. This paper does not aim to subvert or polemicize such readings, but attempts to look at the Fool from an ethical perspective: he will turn out to be a comically responsible and ethical figure Shakespeare employs to galvanize his audience and enforce the ethical concerns behind this tragedy. The main focus of this paper, then, is to study the bitterly comic, but responsible, role of the Fool in King Lear in the light of the ethical philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas. It is through Levinas’s account of “the ethical” which is prior to “the ontological” (e.g. language) that this study tries to analyze features of irony and comicality embedded in this tragedy with regard to the Fool.","PeriodicalId":38662,"journal":{"name":"Comedy Studies","volume":"11 1","pages":"208 - 222"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2040610X.2020.1729491","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41884859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simultaneously, humour generated through these cartoons is valuable in identifying the iconicity of an individual as the extent of distortion employed in caricaturing them explains the level of popularity enjoyed by them. This implies that a cartoon can effectively increase/decrease the number of followers of a person who is either glorified or belittled through distortions. In this article, I argue that colonial cartoons despite of their attempts to ridicule Mahatma Gandhi for his rivalry with the British administrators paradoxically went on to glorify him. Cartoons converted him into a popular icon, the one who was easily recognized by masses. Their intention of generating humour by depicting Gandhi in cartoons made people visualise enormous trouble that he was creating for colonizers thus turning him into a celebratory figure against British in South Africa. This moral shaming created from visual depiction of inhuman British rule led to withdrawal of many horrendous acts and laws which were primarily meant for exploitation of Indian immigrants in South Africa.","PeriodicalId":38662,"journal":{"name":"Comedy Studies","volume":"11 1","pages":"196 - 207"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2040610X.2020.1729488","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48724193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
