O contexto social do humor e a reprise de Sai de Baixo

This article proposes a discussion about characteristic elements of humor present in the TV Globo program "Sai de Baixo." A public success in the 1990s, the jokes carry stereotypes and prejudices questioned by various social movements over the last few decades. The theoretical framework encompasses studies on laughter, stereotypes, and prejudices, and the content analysis focuses on the thematic aspects of four episodes of the series. The main points highlighted are the misalignment of the rerun in relation to recent debates on social inclusion; the importance of revisiting research on the social responsibility of television; and the understanding that the rerun and continuity of the series indicate the preservation of a niche audience that supports this type of humor.
