Resumo: | I outline Robert Solomon’s Inferiority theory of humor, which he illustrated by reference to the Three Stooges and contrasted with the Superiority, Incongruity, and Relief theories. And I discuss the status of the catchphrase with reference to ‘He’s fallen in da water!’ from the Goon Show. Unlike Bob, I don’t think the catchphrase always operates as a set-up, because it is not always heralded or predictable. The funny catchphrase involves a form of meta-humor that draws attention to the contrivance of the story. |
