Abstract
This paper sets up to find a relationship between humorous discourse and Gricean Maxims. Arabic humorous texts have been chosen for analysis. It is found that the violations of the maxims are interdependent and that the maxim of relevance subsumes the other three maxims: Quantity, Quality and Manner.
