Video Games and Comedy is the first edited volume to explore the
intersections between comedy and video games. This pioneering book
collects chapters from a diverse group of scholars, covering a wide
range of approaches and examining the relationship between video
games, humour, and comedy from many different angles. The first
section of the book includes chapters that engage with theories of
comedy and humour, adapting them to the specifics of the video game
medium. The second section explores humour in the contexts,
cultures, and communities that give rise to and spring up around
video games, focusing on phenomena such as in-jokes, player
self-reflexivity, and player/fan creativity. The third section
offers case studies of individual games or game series, exploring
the use of irony as well as sexual and racial humour in video
games. Chapter "Emergence and Ephemerality of Humour During Live
Coverage of Large-Scale eSports Events" is available open access
