Humor, isotopy, narrative, sitcom, disparityAbstract
This article proposes an observation of segments from sitcoms to verify how humoristic effect is produced in them – Arrested Development, Friends, Studio 60. In the audiovisual medium, it is also possible to observe that comic situations are conceived under a linear organization, in which two thematic extrapolations collide into incongruence, as predicted by the textual analysis of the jokes proposed by Salvatore Attardo with his isotopy disjunction model. Considering that linearity presupposes rupture and surprise, it becomes possible to approximate the notion of disjunction with that of narrative disparity conceived by Edward Branigan in examining the generation of laughter.
