Faculty of Adab and Humanities, Universitas Islam Negeri Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, 2019. This research discusses the impoliteness strategies that occur in MailOnline’s entertainment news comment section by using the theory of impoliteness by Jonathan Culpeper. This research uses a qualitative method with a pragmatics approach. It aims to describe the types and functions of impoliteness strategies that occur in 10 MailOnline’s entertainment news comment section. It uses 50 utterances to analyze that taken from 10 articles in MailOnline’s entertainment news comment section which published from March 2019 until April 2019. Research findings show that, first, only 4 types of impoliteness strategies occur, those are: bald on record impoliteness, positive impoliteness, negative impoliteness, and sarcasm or mock politeness. Second, each type of impoliteness strategy does not always appear in every article’s comment section. Third, the frequently used strategy to attack someone’s face through online media is bald on record impoliteness. Fourth, most people are used impoliteness strategy to deliver their heightened emotion, thus affective function appears as the dominant function in this research. Last, according to the topic that chooses randomly, whether the article is talking about controversial entertainer or not, there will always be a negative comment towards the entertainer. As a conclusion, people who use online media are more likely spreading hatred or anger straightforwardly since there is no face- to-face interaction and they can hide their real identity by using a fake account. Moreover, no matter how good the reputation of the entertainer is, there are always be negative comments towards them.
