Intertextuality is one of the most complicated disciplines of literary studies, which a
large number of theorists have attempted to define; still, the definitions greatly differ
from each other in terms of their focal points. Whilst some scholars such as Rifaterre
(1994) and Barthes (2001) emphasize the role of readers and reading process in the
discipline, others like Bakhtin (1981) and Kristeva (1980) are mainly concerned with
the relationship among texts. Studies have investigated intertextuality in different
fields such as advertising (Oppenheim, 2014), sitcom series (Kinnonen, 2012), music
(Barron, 2015), and so on; our study attempts to examine intertextual references on the
basis of creating humor, specifically, through the popular phenomenon of antiproverbs.
In other words, anti-proverbs have been analyzed from the point of the view
of humor theories –superiority, incongruity, and relief theories, attempting to discover
how the intertextual references function in creating a humorous content in the new
text- anti-proverbs.
