The semantics of comic contexts is enriched by the interaction of their components and due to the effect of a collision of the opposite or deceived expectation from the immersion of poetonyms in the environment generated by the author’s consciousness. The analysis of scenes that are not included in official version of the film and the study of intertextuality comedy, intertextual and interform ratios audiovisual works-“referenсes” that influenced the author's “comic world” are among the prospects for further development of the functioning onyms funds comedy “My thoughts are silent”.
