This research uses conversation analysis in the movie "Yowis Ben". An Indonesian comedy movie released in 2018. The movie was directed by Bayu Skak and Fajar Nugros, and produced by Starvision Plus. The aim of this research is to analyze how variations in language reflect cultural identity and enhance narrative and comedic elements. Employing a qualitative method, the study draws on conversation analysis to explore the linguistic features in the film, guided by John Baugh's theory of accent and dialect as socially contextualized systems. The results indicate that the use of East Javanese accents and local dialects in Yowis Ben enriches character development and adds authenticity to the film's cultural setting.This research underscores the significance of dialectal analysis in media as a means of cultural representation.
