Abstract
Blackadder is a British television sitcom that aired from 1983 to 1989. It was written by Rowan Atkinson, Richard Curtis, and Ben Elton, and starred Rowan Atkinson as the main character, Edmund Blackadder. The series follows the adventures of the cunning and scheming Edmund Blackadder and his bumbling servant Baldrick in different periods of British history. This paper will focus on the third season of Blackadder, also known as Blackadder the Third, on how it breaks Grice’s maxims related to the cooperative principle, on how sarcasm was used in the show, and which theories of humor could be applied to analyze the jokes in the show. The paper seeks to identify every time that a maxim is broken in the third season of the series, which of the four maxims are broken the most and in which way they are broken. It also aims to identify every time that sarcasm is used in the third season of the series and which multimodal markers of sarcasm are used. Finally, the aim of this paper is to look at certain jokes in the show through the lens of different theories of humor, such as the superiority theory and incongruity theory, and to identify the theory of humor which could be applied to most of the jokes in the third season of the series.
