This book argues that recent developments in contemporary comedy have changed not just the way we laugh but the way we understand the world. Drawing on a range of contemporary televisual cinematic and digital examples from Seinfeld and Veep to Family Guy and Chappelle's Show Holm explores how humour has become a central site of cultural politics in the twenty-first century. More than just a form of entertainment humour has come to play a central role in the contemporary media environment shaping how we understand ideas of freedom empathy social boundaries and even logic. Through an analysis of humour as a political and aesthetic category Humour as Politics challenges older models of laughter as a form of dissent and instead argues for a new theory of humour as the cultural expression of our (neo)liberal moment.
