political humor  

Definition

  • Political humor is the term used to describe the use of humor in the domain of politics. Though occasionally used to describe the use of humor by political figures themselves, the term is most often reserved for humorous images, texts, and expressions that mock public officials, people in positions of authority, as well as government, institutions, policies, or practices.
