The rise in humor scandals
From Muhammad cartoons to debates over “wokeness”, humor frequently sparks controversies and scandals, yet the phenomenon remains under-researched. This study investigates the rise and characteristics of humor scandals in eight European countries – Belgium (Flanders), Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and Spain – between 1990 and 2022. The research aims to map humor scandals, analyze their frequency, and understand their …
National identity through the prism of satire
Humour scandals in the Finnish political public sphere in 1990–2020
Humour is a part of contemporary mediated political struggles. At times, humour itself becomes politicised, turning into public controversies or humour scandals. This study explores how humour scandals have become intertwined with the Finnish political public sphere during the last three decades. Quantitative mapping, based on journalistic articles retrieved from two nationwide media, reveals that between 1990 and 2020, 26 national humour scandal…
Challenging and Enhancing Legitimacy Through Humor
A prevalent aspect of contemporary digital campaigning is the use of humor to attract attention, elicit amusement, and mark group boundaries. This study investigates the humor in digital campaigns during two recent Finnish parliamentary elections, focusing on how different styles of humor are used to (de)legitimize political ideas and actors. Our original dataset consists of 125,604 posts by 1262 candidates on Facebook six months before the 2019 …
Kikkelikortista vieraslajeihin
Huumori on elimellinen osa nykyaikaisia medioituneita poliittisia valtakamppailuja. Ajoittain huumori itsessään politisoituu, kun siitä tulee julkisten kiistojen kohde.

Selvitämme artikkelissa, kuinka huumoriskandaalit ovat osallistuneet kansalliseen poliittiseen julkisuuteen kolmen viimeisen vuosikymmenen aikana Suomessa. Helsingin Sanomien, Ilta-Sanomien ja Yleisradion arkistoista tekemä…
Poliittinen huumori hybridissä mediaympäristössä
Clowning around a polarized issue
For decades, political activist groups have used humor for ridiculing their opponents and attracting media attention. This study analyzed the online presence of the Loldiers of Odin, a clown-disguised activist group created as a parody of the anti-immigration group Soldiers of Odin. By analyzing the rhetorical strategies of Loldiers’ performance, we show how absurd and naïve parody stunts were used to criticize anti-immigration street patrolling,…

Producing Journalistic News Satire
Political satire is an elusive hybrid genre that through its evolution over the past two decades has gained both media and scholarly interest. Inspired by American TV shows like Last Week Tonight, a new wave of more journalistic news satire has spread across the world. Studies have scrutinized its contents and effects, but the production side has remained largely uncovered. This study applies the concepts of genre and boundary work to analyze how…
