Abstract: This study examines linguistic idiosyncrasies in sitcoms that have the potential for humor. This study aims to analyze the aggressive humor in the characters’ impolite language in the “Kontrakan Rempong” sitcom. This study seeks to contribute to an untouched field of study by systematically formulating a methodology of impolite humor in the sitcom discourse “Kontrakan Rempong.” The method used is qualitative to answer the problems and purposes of the study. Based on the results of the study, researchers found that when humor is intended as playful aggression. Speakers usually accompany their aggressive humor with explicit humor markers to encourage listeners to take it in a non-serious and funny way so that listeners interpret it aggressively and comment funnily. Thus, the critical factor in determining whether aggressive humor conveys playful or genuine aggression is whether it is interactively accepted as something playful to the speaker and listener in a conversation.
