Abstract
“Dirin Dirin” animation series is one of the most successful adult comic animation series, which has a critical view on various social issues and has attracted many audiences. In this article, the authors have sought to analyze the humor-creating factors in this animation. The present analysis was conducted using the general theory of verbal humor. This theory investigates humor using six sources: the knowledge of script opposition, logical mechanism, target, situation, narrative strategy, and language. For this purpose, 65 episodes of this series were randomly selected and analyzed based on the general theory of verbal humor. The obtained results indicated that the sources of script opposition (average 2.27%), logical mechanism (average 2.61%), narrative strategy, and language were found in all the episodes, and for situation source, 75% of the analyzed episodes had a situation which itself created humor. In the source of knowledge, 23 episodes had a critical purpose, and 43 episodes had an educational purpose. Based on the findings of this research, the sources of the knowledge of script opposition, logical mechanism, and language are the most important factors in creating humor in this animation series.
