research needs a lot of references and there is no necessity to conduct another applicable method, such as field research. The data is analyzed
based on the technique of content analysis with some steps. First, I watch the movie, both in English and Indonesian subtitle,
several times to learn and understand the humorous text within. Secondly, I try to determine the humorous scene. Thirdly, I will classify the humorous
scene according to each types of humor appear in the movie. Finally I will analyze the data by determining what humor features contained both by
source and target language to see whether or not the humorous effect in The Simpsons Movie
is successfully translated into target language.
