Humorous tricks in the works of Obaid Zakani and their ‎communication use

The main purpose of this study is to express the liberating and relieving ‎effects of the techniques of humor and jokes in the works of Obaid Zakani ‎to prove its communication function (known as the safety valve) based on ‎the Game Theory. The collected documentation are presented and analyzed ‎in several sections: First, among all types of discourses, humor and jokes ‎establish the most effective, popular and lasting level of communication in ‎media and mass communication. Second, the liberating and relieving ‎functions of humor (Liberation Theory) play a kind of game with the ‎audience and have effective and therapeutic functions for the collective ‎psyche of a society at the same time with their awareness-raising effect. ‎Third, not considering the public’s negative judgments about the concept ‎of "the Safety Valve", humor and jokes with liberating and soothing effects ‎can positively affect the collective psyche. Moreover, the ability to ‎transcend time and space, as well as the ability to upgrade tricks and ‎humor techniques in new formats, can prevent serious harm to society - ‎whether mental or physical. In addition, while being aware of and ‎surrounded by the target issues of humor and jokes and the educational ‎feature of humor, a public enjoying a calmer and more confident mind and ‎spirit can discover its coordinates and find a solution to resolve it. In this ‎study, the research data were obtained through a library method and the ‎samples were obtained from Obaid Zakani's works employing a non-‎random sampling method.‎
