The essays in this collection explore taboo and controversial
humour in traditional scripted (sitcoms and other comedy series,
animated series) and non-scripted forms (stand-up comedy, factual
and reality shows, and advertising) both on cable and network
television. Â Whilst the focus is predominantly on the US and
UK, the contributors also address more general and global issues
and different contexts of reception, in an attempt to look at this
kind of comedy from different perspectives. Over the last few
decades, taboo comedy has become a staple of television
programming, thus raising issues concerning its functions and
appropriateness, and making it an extremely relevant subject for
those interested in how both humour and television work.Â
