Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji penerjemahan humor gelap dalam subtitel bahasa Indonesia pada film aksi-komedi The Suicide Squad (2021). Penerjemahan humor gelap dalam subtitel menyajikan tantangan pragmatis yang kompleks, yang menuntut keseimbangan antara batasan teknis dan keberterimaan budaya. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi jenis humor gelap menggunakan klasifikasi Alberto Godioli (2024), menganalisis teknik penerjemahan mikro menggunakan taksonomi Molina dan Albir (2002) di bawah kerangka Dr. Rudi Hartono (2020), serta mengevaluasi capaian padanan penerjemahan makro berdasarkan model biner Eugene Nida (1964). Dengan desain deskriptif kualitatif, penelitian ini menganalisis korpus komprehensif sebanyak 45 data dialog lisan dari transkrip platform MovieFandom dan subtitel bahasa Indonesia dari platform repositori My-subs.co, yang merepresentasikan subtitel amatir buatan komunitas (fansub). Hasil temuan menunjukkan bahwa humor gelap jenis Pelanggar Tabu (Taboo-Breaking) mendominasi naskah film sebesar 55,56% (25 data), diikuti oleh Sarkastik (Sarcastic) sebesar 37,78% (17 data), dan Merendahkan (Disparaging) sebesar 6,66% (3 data). Dalam aspek pendekatan teknik penerjemahan, pendekatan hibrida Couplet sangat mendominasi pilihan penerjemah sebesar 40,00% (18 data), diikuti oleh Single Technique sebesar 24,44% (11 data), Triplet sebesar 20,00% (9 data), dan Quadruplet sebesar 15,56% (7 data). Pada tingkat padanan makro, takarir film ini secara umum berorientasi pada Padanan Formal sebesar 62,22% (28 data), sedangkan Padanan Dinamis mencakup 33,33% (15 data), dan Padanan Campuran muncul sebesar 4,45% (2 data). Analisis membuktikan bahwa ketergantungan berlebih pada penerjemahan harfiah di bawah padanan formal memicu distorsi semantik pada idiom eksosentrik. Sebaliknya, kombinasi multi-teknik dinamis berhasil menavigasi filter budaya Indonesia tanpa mengebiri register bahasa gaul para karakter, terbukti dari capaian 100,00% adaptasi dinamis pada humor gelap jenis Merendahkan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa penerjemahan humor transgresif dalam fansub membutuhkan pendekatan yang sangat fleksibel, dengan mengutamakan multi-teknik dinamis pada ekspresi yang sarat beban kognitif demi mempertahankan ketepatan waktu kelucuan (comedic timing). Kata Kunci: Humor Gelap, Teknik Penerjemahan, Padanan Formal, Padanan Dinamis. / This study examines dark humor translation in the Indonesian subtitles of the action comedy film The Suicide Squad (2021). Subtitling transgressive humor presents a complex pragmatic challenge, balancing technical constraints with cultural acceptability. The study identifies dark humor types using Alberto Godioli’s (2024) classification, analyzes micro-translation techniques via Molina and Albir’s (2002) taxonomy under Dr. Rudi Hartono’s (2020) framework, and evaluates macro-level translation equivalence based on Eugene Nida’s (1964) binary model. Adopting a qualitative descriptive design, this study evaluated a comprehensive corpus of 45 distinct spoken dialogue turns containing verbal dark humor from the MovieFandom transcript and their corresponding Indonesian subtitles from the public repository My subs.co, representing an amateur fan-produced subtitle (fansub). The findings show that Taboo-Breaking dark humor dominates the script at 55.56% (25 data points), followed by Sarcastic dark humor at 37.78% (17 data points), and Disparaging dark humor at 6.66% (3 data points). In terms of technique approaches, the hibrida Couplet Approach heavily dominates at 40.00% (18 data points), followed by the Single Technique Approach at 24.44% (11 data points), the Triplet Approach at 20.00% (9 data points), and the Quadruplet Approach at 15.56% (7 data points). At the macro equivalence level, Formal Equivalence represents 62.22% (28 data points), while Dynamic Equivalence accounts for 33.33% (15 data points), and Mixed Equivalence appears in 4.45% (2 data points). The analysis reveals that over-reliance on literal translations under formal equivalence caused semantic distortions in exocentric idioms. Conversely, dynamic multi-technique combinations successfully navigated Indonesian cultural filters while preserving the characters’ colloquial registers, uniquely achieving 100.00% dynamic adaptation for Disparaging dark humor. Ultimately, the study concludes that translating transgressive humor in fansubs requires a highly flexible approach, prioritizing dynamic multi-techniques for cognitively loaded expressions to maintain equivalent comedic timing.
