Abstract

The sitcom is an audiovisual genre which creates humorous reality based situations. In this paper we will try to analize verbal humor of sitcoms from a semantic- pragmatic focus. This analysis will be developed using General Theory Verbal Humor (GTVH) by Attardo & Raskin (1991) and its review by Ruiz Gurillo (2012) as a support. To do so, we will study on one of the humorous mechanisms that creates humorous effects on sitcom, analizing a complete season of How i met your mother, and focusing in linguistic indicadors that produce humor. Also, we will point out the conversational principles infringe in each humorous sequence.
