Summary/Abstract: The article aims to show how the concept of Nazi is profiled in modern German humorous discourse. A vital role in the research is assigned to the linguistic worldview conception, as well as to SSTH and GTVH (especially the ideas of script opposition and logical mechanisms). The research also makes use of cognitive domains. The article deals with the construction of audiovisual satirical content by presenting a qualitative analysis of selected humorous clips from a popular YT channel Browser Ballett. Another objective is to pinpoint the most salient cultural and social aspects that could be found in humorous texts on Nazism.
