Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we will present the way in which Aleksandar Popović uses the culture of folk laugh in the farce Ljubinko and Desanka. We start from the con- text in which literary criticism usually places Aleksandar Popović’s opus, because that is the best way to reach the folklore culture in this play. We will determine the role of carnivalization, grotesque realism, and street speech in the play and then see how Popović uses them based on the examples from the text. We will explain the importance of the form used by the author - the farce - because it is the most suit- able form of expressing the elements of folk culture, and it additionally opens other possibilities for reading the text.
