Abstract

This paper is an analysis of Kadie-Jolie’s humourous comedies. Humor is a common phenomenon in the daily interaction of many people; however, this study is particularly interested in humor as used by Kadie-Jolie. This seminar discovers that Kadie-Jolie comedies are characteristic of thematic issues of commodification of romance, racism, deception, corruption, moral decadence and the belief in superstitions. It must be noted that these issues are mostly used to show the major concerns of Kadi-Jolie comedy. The commodification of romance is to condemn commercialisation of romance, racism lambasts how racial discrimination is deployed in the comedies, corruption is portrayed as the bane of developed society, and belief in superstitions is African based. All these thematic issues are deeply rooted in African society and they show the rate of decadence of many African nations.
