Abstract

This thesis aims to analyze the humor style used by James Corden in the honest headline of The Late Late Show. It also aims to analyze the application of flouting maxim in the humor James Corden delivered. Therefore, this thesis was conducted to answer two research questions as follows: (1) which style of humor James Corden used and (2) how flouting maxims done by James Corden were used to create humor.This study used a qualitative approach. Qualitative studies are applied to analyze the humor style and the types of flouting maxim James Corden used. The data were collected by transcribing videos of the honest headline segment in 2018-2019. The data were then identified and classified to find the humor style and flouting maxim James Corden used. This study reveals that there are three humor styles James Corden used in the honest headline: affiliative humor, aggressive humor, and self-enhancing humor. The most prominent humor style used is affiliative humor because James Corden told a joke that everyone might find funny. He also told a joke about everyday life that could create humor. Aggressive humor is the second most frequently humor style used by James Corden. It happened when Corden talked about Donald Trump or something nonsense. The least humor style used is selfenhancing humor because he rarely connected the topic to himself. This study also reveals that James Corden flouted all the maxims (the maxim of quantity, the maxim of quality, the maxim of relation, and the maxim of manner) and flouted more than one maxim. James Corden intentionally breaks the maxims because he thought that the hearer would understand the implied meaning of what he said.
