Abstract

This study examines humor construction in Jatuh Cinta Seperti di Film-Film from a pragmatic perspective, focusing on the fallacy of presumption. It aims to describe how humor arises from differences in assumptions between characters in dialogues and interactions. The subject is Falling in Love Like in the Movies, an award-winning romantic comedy. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study finds that the fallacy of presumption plays a crucial role in creating subtle yet effective humor without relying on slapstick or verbal insults. Misunderstandings between characters generate sharp, context-driven comedy. The study further demonstrates that humor can emerge from exploring meaning and irony in conversation rather than merely visual or situational elements.
