All of the data were analyzed by using the theory proposed by Searle (1969) and Nadar (2009). The findings showed that all types of illocutionary acts used by the characters are declarative, assertive, directive, expressive, and commisive. The dominant type of illocutionary act found in Balinese humor is the expressive illocutionary act. The forms of the directive and expressive illocutionary acts appear in declarative and interrogative sentences while assertive illocutionary acts appear in the forms of declarative, and imperative sentences. Commissive occurred in an imperative and declarative sentence. Declarative occurred in declarative and interrogative sentences. The function of this illocutionary speech act is to convey a specific purpose but in a subtle manner because it is not conveyed directly.
