Summary/Abstract: The paper presents comparative research of political struggle through parody and caricature of political and ideological opponents and their attitudes in SerЬia and Bulgaria during 1990-ies. Humor as а political weapon of the opposition, found its form primarily in slogans, graffiti and texts on the badges. The most frequent was parodic reformulation of current political slogans, attitudes and statements or attaching political meaning to wellknown forms, such as sayings, curses, Ыessings or epic poetry. The knowledge of current political context was а necessary condition for understanding political contents of these messages.
