This paper attempts to address this imbalance by offering pathways in the analysis of stand-up comedy. Employing examples from the performances of the comedians and adopting discourse analysis methodology, this paper focuses on the issues like language ideology, identity and gender embeddedness in Indian Stand-up comedy. We have argued that the comedy employs several performative techniques such as linguistic code switching and calculative pauses to create humor. Through our work, we have demonstrated how ideology and identity constructions are simultaneously reinforced and subverted within the same comic moment. Finally, the extracted portion of recorded performances shows that the whole event unfolds as an informal, naturally developing encounter between audience and comedian.","PeriodicalId":38662,"journal":{"name":"Comedy Studies","volume":"13 1","pages":"41 - 55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47247834","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}

Few studies investigate humour outside of these media and the humour of online communities. This study argues that humour is an important vehicle of identity construction, especially with the dominance of online platforms in modern communication. Using Benign Violation Theory and Ontological Semantic Theory of Humor, this study demonstrates how the trolling culture online has been an effective tool to subvert and negotiate the mainstream narrative of identity, embodied by the motto of ‘You lose if you’re serious.’ This paper analyses humorous ‘trendy posts’ from the Encyclopedia of Virtual Communities in Hong Kong and shows how satire and parody in Cantonese are used in online platforms to build the local Hong Kong identity as opposed to wider, national Chinese identity. What makes trendy posts special is the heavy use of Cantonese and references to local subculture and celebrities, often with the intention to mock and defy the narrative of mainstream television channels and shrinking local film industry. This study argues that such in-group connection and identity building are often a decentralised and bottom-up process, given that online contents are generated by users, who organically negotiate authenticity and membership. Serving the need for story retelling, humour is argued to be the perfect vehicle for collective memories and identity building for online communities.","PeriodicalId":38662,"journal":{"name":"Comedy Studies","volume":"13 1","pages":"101 - 114"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41973888","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}

Both rejected by national intelligentsia and entertained by local audiences, they have traditionally been understood as a psychosocial projection of Franco’s repression, establishing a dialogue between legal and religious oppression and the social need for escapism. This article questions the limits of decency and obscenity in film comedy. Through the study of films directed by Mariano Ozores, a leading figure of sexy comedies but one of the least studied filmmakers of Spanish film history, the paper traces the different aspects of sexual representation in comedy. Turning to the genre’s cultural appreciation, political commitment and social analysis, the article focuses on three films: Fin de semana al desnudo (1974) for the study of the sexual discourse of the last years of the Franco regime; Cuentos de las sábanas blancas (1977) for the analysis of the new possibilities after the end of the censorship and, finally, El erótico enmascarado (1980) for the legacy of the sexy comedies in the first democratic cinema.","PeriodicalId":38662,"journal":{"name":"Comedy Studies","volume":"13 1","pages":"28 - 40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46869951","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}

Initially, audiences read Burnham’s utterances as wholly ironic or sincere depending upon their membership in an in-group or out-group. Comic synchrony occurs through the layering of concurrent discourse communities that complicate the use of shared rhetorical modes between speaker and interpreter. I argue that audience membership in coexisting and permeable discursive circles catalyses audience evolution so they come to understand each of the Burnham’s utterances as ironic and sincere simultaneously. Through this model, the comedian levels biting critique toward the assembled audience and, more broadly, contrived performance—meaning each attack and not meaning it at the same time. The result is a rhetorical configuration that interrogates the ambivalent relationship between irony and sincerity, emphasizing the contradictory and conflicting experience of acting out one’s life for an audience.","PeriodicalId":38662,"journal":{"name":"Comedy Studies","volume":"13 1","pages":"56 - 68"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43337445","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}

To address this shortcoming, the present study employs Mikhail Bakhtin’s notion of the carnivalesque to illustrate how Rickles merged transgressive humor with grotesque realism to flout late twentieth-century American social propriety. In distinctive ways, Rickles employed carnivalesque humour to create a public site for inverting social hierarchies, sensibilities, and value systems. This approach to comedy not only allowed Rickles to undermine social conventions, but also allowed Rickles to encourage audience involvement in these carnivalesque antics. Theories of ritual and theories of television that posit an active audience complement this viewpoint. These perspectives show that even as Rickles denied political intent, Rickles’ comedy was eminently political: It not only inverted social hierarchies, but its ambivalent qualities also highlighted the dangers of groups over-identifying with socially constructed subject positions.","PeriodicalId":38662,"journal":{"name":"Comedy Studies","volume":"13 1","pages":"2 - 14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47346514","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}

She created a stage persona thatgave her the ability to make fun of life and society. Part of her stage act was her fictional husband Fang and his cartoon-like family members including an obese mother, an alcoholic father, a scheming brother, a tooth-pick thin sister, a half-wit uncle, a midget cousin, and a slew of other family members of various design. Relying on Diller’s 52,000 joke cards archived at the Smithsonian Institution and her videotaped performances, this paper will track the history of Fang and his family and how they fit into the comedic work of Diller. A deep dive into Fang’s real and fictional history will reveal the complex worldview Diller imparts about husbands, marriage, and men in general and about American culture and life.","PeriodicalId":38662,"journal":{"name":"Comedy Studies","volume":"13 1","pages":"15 - 27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41746732","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}
