Abstract :
This study aims to analyze what humorous utterances and conversations resulted from the Flouting Maxim found in the movie script of The Final Season of The Big Bang Theory (2019), a popular American sitcom, what types of maxims are flouted, and what type of flouting maxim is most dominantly found. Despite its popularity, no one has researched the final season (season 12) of the show, particularly in terms of the flouting maxim of the Grice Cooperative principle. A qualitative method was used to classify all conversations in the sitcom based on four submaxims and analyze the process of triggering verbal humor. This study involved identifying data, classifying and coding it based on maxim flouting strategies, analyzing the classified data, calculating findings, reexamining the data for accuracy, reporting the findings, and drawing conclusions. The result shows that from only the first 6 episodes, 61 data were found that flouted the conversational maxims. In addition, it was found that out of the 61 data, the type of flouting the maxim of quality was the most dominant with 21 data and a ratio of 34.4%, while the type of flouting the maxim of quantity became the least frequent type of maxim flouting with only 8 data and a ratio of 13.1%. This study offers theoretical and practical benefits, enriching knowledge in linguistic studies, pragmatics, and humor theory. It also provides guidance for analyzing literary works, particularly American sitcoms like The Big Bang Theory, and preserving academic culture.
