Research article (book contribution) | Peer reviewed

Effective humour almost always works best if a commonly accepted premise is addressed and then broken by some form of incongruity. This article argues that by using book value categories, bookish aspects in TV comedy shows can shed more light on our understanding of the book in past and present.
