Abstract	This thesis presents the theoretical background of audiovisual translation (AVT) in the context of the broader field of Translation Studies. The concept, practice and challenges of the three main modalities, dubbing, voice over and subtitling are examined. The thesis also explores the idea of fansubs, subtitles produced by fans, as they are analysed in the latter part of the thesis. The main part of the thesis is focused on the translation of humor and the challenges that arise in the process of translation. The analysis was carried out on fansubs of the series The Office, where the main goal was to determine whether fansubs achieve the humorous effect or not after being translated from English into the Croatian language and to determine which strategies were used by nonprofessional translators in the process of translating humor in subtitles.
