Abstract

This review examines We Are Not Amused: Failed Humor in Interaction by Nancy Bell, the first systematic examination of humorous miscommunication. Situating failed humor broadly as a (mis)communication phenomenon, the text provides an impressive range of conversational data to support each level of analysis.
