Abstract
This study aimed to examine the presence of flouting maxims in the humorous dialogue used in the movie A Man Called Otto. The movie told the story of grief, love, and the strength of the characters to heal their wounded hearts, which was conveyed through a combination of moving moments and humor, thus involving the flouting maxims to create a humorous effect. Therefore, in this study, the author addressed the formulation of the problems, namely (1) What are the maxims flouted by the characters to create humor in A Man Called Otto movie? (2) What are the styles of humor created by flouting maxims in A Man Called Otto movie? This research used a qualitative approach to provide a thorough understanding of the subjective aspects of the phenomenon under study. The descriptive qualitative approach in textual analysis examined the main character's conversation in the movie script. The data were obtained by watching the movie and reading the transcript in A Man Called Otto, and then the data were collected by transcribing the dialogue from the movie. The transcription results were then analyzed to identify the types of flouting maxims using the appropriate codes in the text. The analysis continued by identifying the various styles of humor used by the characters in the movie. The results of this study showed that all flouting maxims (flouting maxim of quantity, flouting maxim of quality, flouting maxim of relevance, flouting maxim of manner) and all humor styles (affiliative humor, self-enhancing humor, aggressive humor, self-defeating humor) occurred in this movie. In the relationship between the flouting maxim and humor style, the author found that among all the flouting maxims, Otto's character tended to use the flouting maxim of manner and self-defeating humor. This was to create a comedic effect, deepen the characterization, and develop the narrative. The flouting maxim of manner created confusing and humorous situations. At the same time, self-deprecating humor helped reveal Otto's emotional side and vulnerability, making him a complex and recognizable character to the audience.
