Abstract

Dad jokes have become a trend lately. Despite often being perceived as boring and unfunny, dad jokes are still practical in generating laughter. A critical component that makes dad jokes humorous is the use of puns. This research aims to classify the types of puns and how these puns generate humor in dad jokes. The data were the sentences that contained puns gathered from the @Dadsaysjokes X account. The research applied a qualitative method and presented a descriptive analysis. The semantic analysis of the data is supported by the puns classification theory developed by Delabastita (1996) and the Script-based Semantic Theory of Humor (SSTH) developed by Raskin (1985). The results of this research show that there are four types of puns in the dad jokes, which are homonymy, homophony, homography, and paronymy, that generate humor through ambiguity. In conclusion, dad jokes consist of puns that carry multiple meanings and amuse people through creative wordplay, so it breaks down the societal stigma that views dad jokes as boring and unfunny.

Abstract

Signs can be found anywhere, as exemplified by the cover of the October 21, 2024, edition of the Tempo digital newspaper, which reflects the prevailing political landscape in Indonesia. This research aims to classify the sign elements in the illustration of the Tempo digital newspaper cover and analyze their meanings. The method employed to examine these signs and meanings is qualitatively descriptive, utilizing the Triadic Model of Sign theory established by Peirce. The results of this research indicate that the seven components of the sign present in the cover show the relationship among representamen (qualisign, sinsign, and legisign), object (icon, index, and symbol), and interpretant (rheme, dicisign, and argument), which collectively contribute to the formation of meaning. This research retains significance due to its potential to enhance readers’ understanding of signs and their meanings while raising public awareness of signs that often communicate implicit messages. The research concludes that the signs featured on the cover of Tempo’s digital newspaper, ‘Dwifungsi Pengusaha-Menteri,’ appear to deliver a cautionary message to the audience, prompting them to observe and evaluate the actions of the ministers.
