Evaluation of Azerbaijan and Erzurum Funnies Under Superiority Theory

Abstract

In this study it is aimed to find out how the superiority theory from the theories of laughing has been observed in Azerbaijan and Erzurum jokes and to identify and analyze Azerbaijan and Erzurum jokes which are in accordance with the superiority theory. The difference between laughing, humour, witticism and joke has not been completely explained. There have been very different comments and definitions on laughing. Generally it can be said that laughing is a behaviour as a result of intense positive feelings. For humour it is also said it is laughing. For humour to exist there needs to be laughing. Therefore when asked “What is humour?”, many have responded it is laughing. In the case of jokes it is a important genre resulting from the oral traditions of societies. Despite its brevity it aims to provide its message effectively and is a genre with origins from thousands of years. With the emergence of joke theories one of the most commonly used ones has been the superiority theory. In this study it is aimed to see/show how the superiority theory has been used in Azerbaijan and Erzurum jokes. The jokes with the superiority theory have been studied using Haluk Harun Duman’s Erzurum Jokes and Famous Humourists, Mehmet Zeki Kilic and Yasar Atnur’s Erzurum Jokes as well as Ejder Ol’s Azerbaijan Jokes with Lived Experiences and Concrete Examples.
