ABSTRACT

In the case of social media, one may notice the ease with which people humorously express themselves. The traditional boundaries are not present any more and individuals who would usually shy away from using humour while interacting with their peers will resort to communicating with them in a funny way. This chapter critically and closely reads selected joke-performances of The School of the Naughty show, a Moroccan comic series that mirrors the increasing political awareness in Morocco, against the backdrop of the tenuous political history of the country and the progress Moroccans have made since the so-called Arab Spring. It talks about study a Moroccan comic show called The School of the Naughty. It is the most popular show produced and made available online by the Moroccan channel Le360. It is the creation of Anouar Khalil, a writer of satires. What is special about this series is that its subject is the Government of Morocco.
