Resumen
This research seeks to investigate the humor of sketches of the comedy collective who
go by the name of Porta dos Fundos (Back Door). Thus, its main objective is to verify
the cognitive and linguistic strategies (verbal and nonverbal) used in the production of
this audiovisual material that makes its viewers laugh. For so, this study uses the
categories of analysis frames (FILLMORE, 1982; LAKOFF, 2012, 2014; DUQUE,
2017) and language games (WITTGENSTEIN, 2012; STEELS, 2006, 2011; DUQUE,
2016; no prelo), in a complex and adaptive perspective (RZEVISK, 2011; DUQUE,
2017). Furthermore, it is supported by the ecological-cognitive approach of language
(DUQUE, 2016, 2017, 2018) which is an aspect of Cognitive Linguistics whose initial
state is the organism-environment relationship (GIBSON, 2015). This work follows the
interpretative paradigm of research and, in doing so, opts for the qualitative approach
since its interest lies in understanding and interpreting the semiosis of human relations
(GERHARDT ET AL, 2009). Examinations performed suggest that language games in
the sketches are guided by extremely dynamic cognitive structures that, due to their
fluidity and dynamics, suffer turbulence with the insertion of new information in any of
the components of the complex and adaptive system. Such turbulences would be
linked, therefore, to several behaviors of the viewer, not restricted to humor only.
