Abstract

This study discusses politeness strategies in a stand-up comedy performance of Pandji Pragiwaksono entitled Mesakke Bangsaku Part 1 and its usage as a medium of social critique. The research identifies three prominent politeness maxims: the Tact Maxim, the Generosity Maxim, and the Agreement Maxim, employing Leech's politeness principles and Brown and Levinson's face theory. Through these approaches, Pandji can tackle sensitive topics such as ethnic discrimination and LGBTQ+ rights while incorporating humor that helps bring awareness and contemplation to his audience. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this study analyzes Pandji’s utterances to illustrate how politeness and humor intertwine to balance criticism with respect. The findings reveal that the Tact Maxim is the most frequently employed strategy, allowing Pandji to minimize offense while delivering impactful critiques. This research highlights the significance of linguistic politeness in comedy as a tool for effective communication and social commentary, particularly in culturally sensitive contexts like Indonesia
