Abstract
This study aims to identify humor contained in the comedy cartoon film Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, which was released in 2022. Several questions are answered in this study, (1) what are the maxims flouted by the characters to create humor in the film Puss in Boots: The Last Wish? (2) what are the forms of humor created by maxim flouting in the film Puss in Boots: The Last Wish? (3) What are the functions of humor result from the flouting of maxims in the film Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. The researcher used a descriptive qualitative approach to answer these questions. This approach involves the use of Cutting's (2002) theory of maxims flouting, Martin's (2007) forms of humor, and Attardo's (1994) functions of humor to analyze the data. The data was taken from the transcription of the film Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, which has been carefully observed to obtain the necessary data. The results of this study show that there are four types of maxim floutings, namely flouting of the maxims of quantity, quality, relation, and manner of speaking. In addition, there are two forms of humor, namely jokes and spontaneous conversational humor, which include irony, satire, sarcasm, overstatement, self-deprecation, ridicule, replies to rhetorical questions, and witty replies to serious statements. Furthermore, there are four functions of humor, namely social management, decommitment, mediation, and defunctionalization. This study also found that the flouting of quality maxims is a dominant in forming humor, with the social management function being the most frequently used in spontaneous conversational humor.
