topical humor

Topical humor refers to jokes and comedic content that focus on current events, recent news, or trending issues. It relies on shared knowledge of what's happening in the world at that moment, making the humor timely and relevant. This type of humor often involves satire, parody, or clever observations about recent developments, and its effectiveness depends on the audience's awareness of the topic. Because it hinges on current events, topical humor tends to have a shorter shelf life but can be highly engaging and humorous when timed correctly.
