One form of maintaining sociability and cohesion in mobile instant
messaging (MIM) interactions is posting humorous content (Cruz-Moya and Sánchez-Moya 2021; Yus 2018, 2021). Online humour can be multimodal since smartphone users can easily publish verbal, auditory, and visual content. This chapter
focuses on the production, negotiation, and response to humorous multimodal
posts in a single WhatsApp group chat among sixteen men. Methods combine
computer-mediated discourse analysis (Herring and Androutsopoulos 2015), digital conversation analysis (Giles et al. 2015), and the study of interactional humour
(see Chovanec and Tsakona 2018).
The analysis showed that humour in this chat was typically initiated by static
images (i.e., photos, screenshots, or memes) or videos. Like other online contexts,
such as Twitter and Instagram (Messerli and Yu 2018) or dyadic MIM chats (Sampietro 2021b), laughing emojis helped signal humour and show appreciation for
it. Other emojis were used in a more playful manner, such as when repeating visually humorous discourse. Emojis were also a non-threatening way of bringing
failed humour to an end. In addition to humorous memes, personal anecdotes
and pictures of participants were elaborated upon in sustained humorous exchanges. Ageing and sex were common scripts for humour in the chat, and were
used to negotiate in-group identity and reaffirm participants’ masculinity. [-]
