Zooming in on a distinct televisual comedy genre, Katja Schulze explores the formal principles, media-specific realizations, and the cultural work of disparagement in contemporary female-led situation comedies. Subsequently, larger patterns of (gender-based) invective strategies and conventions that define the dynamism of this comedic genre come into view. Her study outlines case studies of popular sitcoms, like Parks and Recreation, Mike & Molly, and the revival of hit-sitcom Roseanne, thereby unearthing how the shows are able to stage humor as mass-mediated deprecation - a signifying practice with its own poetics and politics. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 505 00 $g 4.1 $g 2. $t The Invective Logic of Serial Outbidding $g 2.1 $r American Culture and the Invective -- $g 2.2 $t Humor and the Invective -- $g 2.3 $t Situation Comedies and the Invective -- $g 3. $t Invective Humor: Discourses of Otherness -- $g 3.1 $t Invective Fools in Mike & Molly -- $g 3.2 $t Ceasing to 'Do' Female: Auto-Invective Comedy from Phyllis Diller to 2 Broke Girls -- $g 4. $t Reflexive Invectivity: The Comedy of Super Niceness in Parks and Recreaction -- $g 4.1 $t The Invective Logic of Serial Outbidding 505 00 $g 5.1 $t Embarrassment as an Invective Strategy in the Mockumentary Sitcoms The Comeback and Parks and Recreation $g 4.3 $t Why We Hate Jerry Gergich: Selective Disparagement in Super Nice Sitcoms -- $t Parks and Recreation's Jerry Gergich -- $t Brooklyn 99's Hitchcock and Scully -- $g 5. $t Dynamizing Invectivity: The Role of Invectives in the Boundary Work of the Genre -- $g 5.1 $t Embarrassment as an Invective Strategy in the Mockumentary Sitcoms The Comeback and Parks and Recreation 505 00 $g 6. $t Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Works Cited -- Television Shows and Films Cited $g 5.3 $t Reviving Roseanne: Capitalizing Nostalgia and Invectives in Times of the Trump Presidency -- $g 6. $t Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Works Cited -- Television Shows and Films Cited 650 0 $a Situation comedies (Television programs) $z United States $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Invective $z United States. 650 0 $a American wit and humor. 650 0 $a Political satire, American $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a American wit and humor. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807457 650 7 $a Invective. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977987 650 7 $a Political satire, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069725 650 7 $a Situation comedies (Television programs) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01744318 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a American studies (Transcript (Firm)) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013434.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=42ED415E0CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
