Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,3, Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel, language: English, abstract: In meiner Arbeit gehe ich der Frage nach, wie und warum self-deprecating humor von Stand-up-Comedians eingesetzt wird und welchen Effekt er auf das Publikum hat. Außerdem untersuche ich die Gemeinsamkeiten mit und die Unterschiede zum Gegenpol des self-depricating humor, disparaging beziehungsweise other-deprecating humor, da die Unterschiede in der Stand-up Comedy in der Wirkung manchmal gering und die Übergänge teilweise fließend sind. Darüber hinaus gebe ich einen kurzen, zusammenfassenden Überblick über die Geschichte der Stand-up Comedy in Nordamerika und bespreche anschließend drei gängige Humortheorien ( Superiority, Relief und lncongruity theory), um den Einsatz von self-deprecating humor zu kontextualisieren. Zur Veranschaulichung habe ich exemplarisch zwei sogenannte skits (Teile einer Stand-up show) des Komikers Jim Jefferies herangezogen, durch die der Einsatz von self-deprecating humor verdeutlicht wird.
