The researcher analyzes the utterances that contain conversational implicature and violation maxims in the data. This research uses qualitative method. It is used to interpret the data descriptively based on conversational implicature and cooperative principle theory proposed by Grice. The data is explained by showing the context of situation, the implicature of utterances, and the maxims. The result of this research consists of three points. The first point, there are 12 data Generalized Conversational Implicature and 13 data Particularized Conversational Implicature. The most violation maxim is maxim of quantity which is 44 % or 11 data. Whereas, the others are 24 % or 6 data for maxim of quality, 12% or 3 data for maxim relation, and 20% or 5 data for maxim of manner. The second point, The implied meanings of conversational implicature types are to imply the opposite, previous event, other of similar kinds, contradiction with the actual condition and general knowledge inference. On the hand, the speaker’s intentions are warning, convincing, giving opinion, ignoring, satire, and showing sympathy. The last point, Most of the utterances are written to violate the edge of maxims in order to make the movie funny and interesting.
