hearer to have a smooth conversation. Grice proposes the Co-operative Principles
that are reflected in the four maxims of conversation: Maxim of Quality, Maxim
of Quantity, Maxim of Relation and Maxim of Manner. The principles are stated
in the fulfillment of the conversational maxims. In a conversation, sometimes
people may flout those maxims for some certain reasons, although it does not
mean that they fail to communicate with each other. Flouting the conversational
maxims may not bring the communication to an end, but it may cause humor.
Based on these studies, this thesis was written to find out the relationship between
the humor in the comedy and the flouting of conversational maxims. This thesis
analyzes the flouting of conversational maxims in the drama comedy TV series "
Bajaj Bajuri Salon Oneng Edition", which was broadcast in Trans TV. There were
two episodes chosen by the writer to be analyzed. They were "Bajuri Fried
Chicken" and "Mpo Minah?s Demolished House. In analyzing the data, the writer
uses Grice?s theory of conversational maxims. The writer uses descriptive
approach to describe the reasons why the characters in the drama comedy "Bajaj
Bajuri Salon Oneng Edition" flout the maxims. After analyzing the data, the
writer can prove that there were floutings of maxims in the comedy that could
cause humor. The writer found out that the Maxim of Manner was flouted the
most by the characters in "Bajaj Bajuri Salon Oneng Edition". Moreover, she also
found that there are some floutings of multiple maxims done by the characters to
create humor. For example, the flouting of the Maxim of Relation combined with
the flouting of the Maxim of Manner occurred the most in the drama comedy
"Bajaj Bajuri Salon Oneng Edition". From the findings, the writer can conclude
that the flouting of the maxims in a conversation is important to create humor.
