political humor

Political humor refers to jokes, satire, or comedic commentary that addresses political events, figures, and issues. It often highlights absurdities, contradictions, or flaws within political systems and leaders, aiming to provoke thought, entertain, or critique. Through sketches, cartoons, and stand-up routines, political humor can provide insight into public sentiment, influence opinions, and encourage civic engagement. By exaggerating or parodying real situations, it allows audiences to reflect on complex political realities while providing a shared space for discussing serious topics in a more accessible way.
