Lying at the intersection of documentary, soap opera and drama, reality television's specific form - its immediacy and its emotionality - invites viewers to judge and moralize the lives depicted on screen. In this article I explore the affective ways in which 'Geordie Shore' produces ideas about femininity and how comic moments in the show influence this emotive process. By analysing online comments on the show's official Facebook page I argue that the humorous quality of the text does 'not merely reinforce the disciplining white, middle-class gaze through which 'Geordie' femininities are produced as hypersexual(ized) ladettes worthy of social derision. Rather, the online laughter that I found in some online comments highlights that these representations are also animated through feelings of joy, affection and emotional attachment. Attending to online laughter can help us to further understand the movement between connection and disassociation through which audiences make sense of reality television. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of European Popular Culture is the property of Intellect Ltd. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
