Abstract

ENGLISH: This research explored how sequence organization is used to build humor in podcasts, specifically in the episodes of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend with Tom Hanks and Raditya Dika’s podcast with Indro Warkop. Using a descriptive qualitative method based on Conversation Analysis, the research utilized Schegloff's (2007) sequence organization framework as the main tool for analysis, while Norrick's (1993) conversational joking theory, Hay's (2001) humor response model, and Berger's (1993) linguistic techniques of humor were used as additional reference frameworks. Through analysis, nine instances of humor sequences were uncovered in Tom Hanks’ talk and four in that of Indro Warkop. The research disclosed that humor in both podcasts was majorly structurally dependent on non-minimal post expansion, yet their implementation of it was quite different. Whereas Tom Hanks' jokes were mainly derived from a variety of adjacency pair types and sequences initiated by himself with quite compact punchline delivery and operated mostly through irony, exaggeration, allusion, and infantilism. Indro's humor was mostly supported on question-answer pairs as structural points of entry and narratives in post-expansion that were gradually developing comic tension before punchline delivery through exaggeration, irony, and facetiousness. The study has brought to light that sequence organization was one of the major ways through which humor was engaged with in podcast talk collaboratively. INDONESIA: Penelitian ini mengkaji organisasi sekuens dalam percakapan podcast komedi dengan fokus pada bagaimana struktur sekuensial berfungsi dalam konstruksi humor. Data penelitian terdiri atas dua episode podcast yang tersedia untuk umum, yaitu penampilan Tom Hanks dalam podcast Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend dan wawancara Indro Warkop dalam podcast Raditya Dika. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif yang berlandaskan Analisis Percakapan, penelitian ini menerapkan kerangka organisasi sekuens dari Schegloff (2007), teori humor percakapan dari Norrick (1993), dan model respons humor dari Hay (2001), serta teknik linguistik humor dari Berger (1993) digunakan sebagai kerangka pendukung untuk mengklasifikasikan tipe humor yang terealisasi dalam punchline yang teridentifikasi. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa percakapan Tom Hanks membangun humor melalui pasangan ujaran tanya–jawab yang ringkas dengan penyampaian punchline yang cepat serta perluasan lanjutan yang singkat. Sebaliknya, percakapan Indro Warkop lebih mengandalkan rangkaian narasi dalam perluasan lanjutan yang lebih panjang, sehingga humor dibangun secara bertahap melalui beberapa giliran bicara. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa organisasi sekuens berperan sebagai mekanisme utama yang memungkinkan humor tercapai secara kolaboratif dalam wacana podcast.
