Abstract

Penelitian ini berfokus pada verbal humor dalam penampilan stand-up komedi Max Amini dan bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana Max secara sengaja melanggar empat prinsip kerjasama Grice untuk merealisasikan verbal humor. Secara spesifik, penelitian ini menyoroti pelanggaran keempat maksim Grice—yakni kualitas, kuantitas, relevansi, dan cara beserta hubungannya dengan inkongruitas berdasarkan teori Attardo yaitu General Theory of Verbal Humor (GTVH). Data dianalisis melalui metode deskriptif kualitatif, dengan 74 temuan dianalisis secara deskriptif untuk mengevaluasi frekuensi dan jenis pelanggaran maksim. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa maksim kualitas dilanggar 33 kali, maksim kuantitas 32 kali, maksim cara 7 kali, dan maksim relevansi 2 kali, sehingga maksim kualitas merupakan yang paling sering dilanggar. Pelanggaran-pelanggaran ini konsisten menciptakan verbal humor yang ditandai dengan inkongruitas, baik yang terselesaikan maupun yang mengaktifkan inkongruitas latar belakang. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa pelanggaran yang dilakukan Max Amini secara sengaja dan terstruktur mampu merealisasikan verbal humor.

This study focuses on verbal humor in Max Amini's stand-up comedy performances and aims to analyze how Max deliberately flouts the four principles of Grice's cooperative principle to realize verbal humor. Specifically, this study highlights the flouting of the four Grice maxims namely, quality, quantity, relevance, and manner and their relationship with incongruity based on the Attardo’s General Theory of Verbal Humor (GTVH). The data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods, with 74 findings analyzed descriptively to evaluate the frequency and type of maxim flouting. The results show that the maxim of quality was flouted 33 times, the maxim of quantity 32 times, the maxim of manner 7 times, and the maxim of relevance 2 times, making the maxim of quality the most frequently flouted. These flouts consistently created verbal humor characterized by incongruity, both resolved and activating background incongruity. This study concludes that the flouting carried out by Max Amini in a deliberate and structured manner is capable of realizing verbal humor.
