Herein this article explores answers to this question while adding to the scholarship on alternative comedy in the United States, which emerged in the late 1990s and early aughts. Focusing on stand-up comedian Kristen Schaal, this article explains the connection between aesthetics and gender by arguing that the alternative style aims to subvert previous notions of performative power. By decentering masculine codings of power, alternative comedy evades the gender expectations that alienated mainstream audiences from female performers in the past, allowing female performers further avenues to success.","PeriodicalId":53944,"journal":{"name":"Studies in American Humor","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83555040","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}

Indeed, a lot of viewers might have been upset if he made jokes about a hugely serious threat to American democracy. More significantly, I do not think that the authors sufficiently substantiate their concluding argument that right-wing comedy serves as “the blowtorch that welds together contemporary right-wing politics” (187). Lacing right-wing invective with comedic elements may make it more digestible for some individuals and seeing conservative comics and performers may provide audiences with validation of their views, given the paucity of mainstream comic forms with an overtly conservative perspective. Nonetheless, it is a huge leap to say that comedy, rather than racialized grievances, nostalgia, or the increase in economic inequality over the last forty years, is the glue that binds all the different elements of the right. Despite the book’s flaws, That’s Not Funny: How the Right Makes Comedy Work for Them could be constructively utilized in graduate courses on media, popular culture, politics, and comedy. It is a timely examination of an important contemporary cultural phenomenon and is certainly likely to encourage class discussion.","PeriodicalId":53944,"journal":{"name":"Studies in American Humor","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90119682","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 this article, I show that stand-up’s foundational subversion is in its professionalism and in its departure from other forms of art. In the show, female stand-up comic Midge Maisel learns to function first as a seasoned professional and then as an ethical crusader who ultimately mounts a two-pronged attack on the sexist underpinnings of American humor and the patriarchal structure of stand-up, substantially influencing the way we receive this liminal genre of cultural expression and reframing it as an empowering vehicle of the marginalized.","PeriodicalId":53944,"journal":{"name":"Studies in American Humor","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86161737","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}

Why would we do such a thing? Because, dear reader, the scholarship in humor studies published in 2021 is an embarrassment of riches. Across and within disciplines, scholars are exploring fascinating questions related to humor in diverse contexts. From discerning unique rhetorical features of a stand-up comic’s discourse to generating new humor theory, humor scholars are a prolific and provocative bunch. As has been the case in recent years, two particularly popular areas of humor research are online humor (especially memes), and humor in films and television shows. Additionally, in 2021, many scholars focused on humor about Donald Trump while others offered close readings of stand-up comedy, specifically regarding race. With the interests of our readership in mind, we have chosen to curate those publications we believe to be of greatest heuristic value in the following nine categories: literature, satire and political humor, performance, film and television, new media, empirical studies, visual humor, jokes, and theory.

This article reappraises Jessie Redmon Fauset’s reputation as a sentimental, bourgeois female writer, looking at how she uses irony and satire to challenge racial and gender stereotypes and become a pioneering female humorist of the Harlem Renaissance. In her essay “The Gift of Laughter” and her best-known novel, Plum Bun (1928), Fauset uses humor as an indirect form of social protest to subvert racial and gender stereotypes of the New Woman and the New Negro Woman and to unsettle bourgeois, sentimental conventions of the marriage plot and the passing plot. Through a reframing of Fauset’s novel in light of recent theories of Black feminist humor, this article helps to restore Fauset’s rightful place among the leading and lasting voices of the Harlem Renaissance.","PeriodicalId":53944,"journal":{"name":"Studies in American Humor","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77670075","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}
