Abstract
The exploitation of authentic materials in the EFL classroom is getting highly recommended nowadays. While kinestethic activities would elimate boredom in the classroom, visual aids offer practicality and efficiency for teachers in this digital era. Teachers can take the advanta interest in language studies. Film is a good exposure for EFL students in which utterances and expressions can be seen in believable contexts and real situations. However, cartoon film offers more intriguing perspective to accommodate the pragmatics learning, as in cartoon films we did not anticipate a certain scenario that might occur. Cartoon films do not only entertain us with humor per se but they also come with a package of verbal expressions that is worth being brought to pragmatics analysis in the classroom.This study is to be concerned with the jokehood rather than funniness and to analyze them from pragmatics point of view. Investigating convesational humor in cartoon films opens a wide opportunity to deeper understanding on pragmatic phenomena. Pragmatics will provide a framework on how the meaning communicated by the jokester will result funniness depending on given context and interpretation. Meanwhile, cartoon film as a source of conversational humor can be used not only for the sake of humor analysis,but also at the same time can be a positive exposure for students.
