The purpose of this research is to demonstrate how structural characteristics of conversational humour are related to the functions served by hilarious utterances and acts. Linguistically speaking, examining humour can provide us with a wealth of information about the society in which we live. Regrettably, not all linguists believe that researching humour is a wise approach. Additionally, this study will examine the suburban community's debate in one of the most popular YouTube videos, Kontrakan Rempong by Warintil official. Pamer provided the funny data (episode 69). The approach employed in this study is Fairclough's CDA model, which evaluates the dimensions of text, specifically the GTVH theory, interpretation, and explanation (social practice). As a result, it is discovered that residents' noticeable behaviors, in particular, become a regular topic of debate among the community's housewives. The theme is primarily concerned with how members of a particular family behave in the community and how women as homemakers identify as community members. The targeted behaviors include being chatty, materialistic, impolite and pompous, having an unconventional view of the world, and gossipmongers who spread tales about another person's debt.
