<![CDATA[This study examines code-mixing as a linguistic and socio-psychological strategy in creating humor on the Bintang Emon YouTube podcast (siniar). Specifically, this study examines the forms and purposes of code-mixing in the podcast, which is known for its humor strategies. The focus of the study is on how the mixing of Indonesian, English, and regional languages is used to create humor and closeness with the audience. The approach used is descriptive qualitative with sociolinguistic analysis of 32 speech samples from several episodes of the podcast. The results show five forms of code-mixing: word, phrase, clause, hybrid (baster), and sentence, with the word form dominating. Functionally, code-mixing is used to create humorous effects, affirm cultural identity, adapt to the audience, and clarify meaning. In conclusion, code-mixing in the Bintang Emon podcast is a creative linguistic strategy that reflects social identity, spontaneous humor, and the linguistic dynamics of the digital age.]]>
