Humor is a unique form of linguistic art as well as a profound social and cultural phenomenon. It plays a significant role not only in language and cultural contexts, but also in social interaction and multicultural exchange. Based on Grice’s cooperative principle as the theoretical framework, this paper analyzes some examples of verbal humor in the American sitcom Friends and the process of the actors producing humor by violating the cooperative principle in detail. This paper explores the role of violating the cooperation principle in pragmatics within the context of English humor, so as to improve the readers’ understanding of the phenomenon and internal mechanisms of humor in the English language. The purpose of this study is to reveal the effectiveness and practicability of pragmatics in interpersonal communication, promote the communication and exchange between the two sides of the dialogue, and improve the readers’ intercultural communication ability.
