65 Target TA, Narrative Strategy NS, and Language LA. The analysis of the
verbal humour was done in a hierarchical way. It followed hierarchical order of the six Knowledge Resources. Firstly, the analysis was conducted by examining
the verbal humour using the most complex parameters, the Script Opposition and the Logical Mechanism. Then, the analysis was continued by employing the next
four KRs, the SI, TA, NS, and LA, sequentially. Doing so allowed the researcher to closely examine the elements of the humour from the core element first to the
serving.
B. Recommendations
It is suggested to the readers to conduct more studies concerning about humour, especially verbal humour, as the study is still fairly new. Pursuing more
researches on verbal humour, especially the more extensive ones, may be a very good idea to do. The object for the further studies is also not limited to radio
drama. Other work containing verbal humour such as movies, songs, poems can also be a great source to broaden the knowledge and understanding on verbal
humour. General Theory of Verbal Humour GTVH with its six Knowledge
Resources KRs is a very powerful theory to analyse humour linguistically. The researcher suggests that GTVH can be utilized more to conduct further analysis of
verbal humour. It can be noted that GVTH could be employed also to conduct more specific analysis rather that a general analysis like this research is limited to.
Employing GTVH allows more researchers to focus on a certain KR, for example the SO, in order to do an in-depth investigation.

1 00.00.00 Douglas: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, First
Officer Douglas Richardson here. Just to let you know, were making our final approach now into what I am
fairly sure is Fitton airfield…unless its a farm… or just
possibly the A45. Its not the sea, because thats blue. I should perhaps explain that Captain Crieff and I have a
sportsman-like little bet on today about who can fly the best after drinking a litre of Vodka through a straw. The
Captain went first. You may have noticed the take off run was a little bumpy, particularly over the golf course.
Now its me to land, just as soon as I decide, which of these two runaways to aim for. And Im happy to tell you
that I feel lucky. So on behalf of all your crew today, may I just say, geronimo
