Doc Brown Actor/Comedian
Doc Brown Actor/Comedian Ben ‘Doc Brown’ Smith originally made a name for himself as a rapper, known as much for his off-the-cuff freestyle rhymes on stage as for his self-deprecating style on record. A chance meeting with DJ/Producer Mark Ronson in 2004 struck up a relationship that led to Doc touring with Ronson’s band as their MC on a string of festival shows from 2006 – 2007.

Conversational Implicature of Humor in Michael Mcintyre Interview on Jonathan Ross Show
CONVERSATIONAL IMPLICATURE OF HUMOR IN MICHAEL MCINTYRE INTERVIEW ON JONATHAN ROSS SHOW A Thesis Submitted to Letters and Humanities Faculty in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Strata One Tamara Seprilia Ningtyas 11140260000061 ENGLISH LETTERS DEPARTMENT LETTERS AND HUMANITIES FACULTY STATE ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY SYARIF HIDAYATULLAH JAKARTA 2018 ABSTRACT Tamara Seprilianingtyas, Conversational Implicature of Humor in Michael Mcintyre Interview on Jonathan Ross Show. Thesis: English Letters Department, Letters and Humanity Faculty. State Islamic University Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. 2018 This study analyzes the conversational implicatures that is generated by the maxim which appears on the conversation between Michael Mcintyre and Jonathan Ross in Jonathan Ross Show. The objective of the research is to know the process of flouting maxim in creating humor that appears through the conversation. This study uses Grice’s Conversatinal Implicature theory to analyze the implicature and the maxims. Moreover, it also uses Raskin’s theory of humor to identify the humor that has been applied in the utterances. The result indicates that both particularized conversational implicature and generalized conversational implicature are found in the conversation. The generalized conversational implicature and particularized conversational implicature generated by flouting maxims based on the meaning that Michael implied in his utterance. He has been flouted the four maxims which are maxim of quantity, maxim of quality, maxim of relation and maxim of manner. He chiefly flouted maxim of quantity. Furthermore, the most Michael’s utterances indicate the incongruity theory and spontaneous conversational humor which have dominant role in creating humor. The spontaneous conversational humor is distinguished from certain basis of the intentions or use of humors such as satire, overstatement and understatement, self- deprecation, teasing, and clever or nonsensical replies to serious statements. -
