Among the programmes broadcast, comedy shows not only entertain but also bring diverse representations to the screen through content that provokes thought, offers criticism and educates. The aim of this study is to analyse how the elderly are represented in comedy programmes. The research sample consists of ninety-eight sketches selected using a purposive sampling method from the eleventh and twelfth seasons of the G\u00fcld\u00fcr G\u00fcld\u00fcr Show. The research was carried out within a theoretical framework that addresses the phenomenon of old age through its physiological, sociological and psychological dimensions, which form the basis of dramaturgical character development. In the study, programme scripts were analysed using computational text mining methods via the R programming language and the NRC Emotion Lexicon. Quantitative data were combined with qualitative content analysis to form a mixed-methods design. The findings present data suggesting that old age is reduced to \u2018cost\u2019 in the sociological dimension, \u2018management\u2019 in the psychological dimension, and \u2018object of care\u2019 in the physiological dimension. Furthermore, gender-based double standards were identified in the representations. Consequently, the study shows that age discrimination can be normalised on a societal level by aestheticising the comedy narrative.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; font-size: 15px;\"><strong>Keywords: <\/strong> Representations of the elderly, Ageism, Media studies, Television, Humor<\/p>\n<table bgcolor=\"transparent\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border-bottom: 1px dashed gray;\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\">Nergiz G\u00fcndel \/ Sumru Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.29224\/insanveinsan.1919620\">DOI: 10.29224\/insanveinsan.1919620<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"><a title=\"Issue 42, Yaz 2026\" href=\"\/en\/sayi-42-yaz-2026\/\">Issue 42, Yaz 2026<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-119 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/pdf-e1407190133528.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\">Tam metin \/ Full text<br \/>\n(Turkish)<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 230px;\">\n<span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 20px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width:0\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/izleme-icon.png\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 40px;\">[post-views]<\/div>\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 20px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width:0\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/indirme-icon.png\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 145px;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"><div class=\"sdm_download_count\"><span class=\"sdm_count_number\">11<\/span><span class=\"sdm_count_string\"> Downloads<\/span><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n<p><br style=\"clear: left;\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sdm_download_button_box_default\"><div class=\"sdm_download_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insanveinsan.org\/?sdm_process_download=1&download_id=5835\" class=\"sdm_download grey\" title=\"42-4 Nergiz G\u00fcndel\" target=&quot;_blank&quot;>Download Now!<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<table bgcolor=\"transparent\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border-bottom: 1px dashed gray;\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"> <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc\/4.0\/\" rel=\"license\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/i.creativecommons.org\/l\/by-nc\/4.0\/80x15.png\" alt=\"Creative Commons License\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThis work is licensed under a <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc\/4.0\/\" rel=\"license\">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nergiz G\u00fcndel \/ Sumru Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m Abstract: In Turkey, television maintains its role as the most widely watched medium of communication.
