This paper offers with an research of 1 episode of the yank comedy sequence buddies and the query even if the developed dialog used there may be considered as well mannered or no longer. for the reason that this sequence is particularly comedian, i'll examine how politeness and comedy could be combined.
Concerning the idea of politeness, i'll mostly follow the theories of Brown and Levinson and Goffman, supply short summaries in their theories and talk about even if the characters in acquaintances violate the principles pointed out there that allows you to achieve laughter from the audience.
I have selected one unmarried episode and may glance deeply at numerous smaller components of it which will solution the query if humour can be utilized with well mannered behaviour or in the event that they can not coexist. My thesis is that, while you are strict in conserving the foundations, isn't really attainable to be well mannered and humorous while simply because humorous utterances can purely ensue in instances of violation of politeness rules.
I won't supply a movie research during this paper. I took the script of this episode and watched it as a way to see the place laughter is meant to come back, that implies to work out which words are meant to be humorous. those passages are marked within the script (which are available within the appendix) via an asterisk.
