Summary/Abstract: The present paper proposes a qualitative analysis of the stereotype of the Muslim immigrant as a source of humor in two television series from two relatively different socio-cultural spaces, Great Britain (Mind Your Language) and Spain (Cruz y Raya.com). Specifically, the aim is to examine the discrete stereotypical trait of vulnerability exploited as a source of humor at different levels, in order to reveal similarities and specific differences between the two series based on a relevant and homogeneous selection of episodes, within the theoretical frame of the General Theory of Verbal Humour (Attardo & Raskin 1991), with the enhancements proposed by Ruiz Gurillo (2012).
