Abstract Oral culture has begun to lose its power with writing, which is a new technology, and written and printed cultural products have ensured their permanence. Then, the process that started with the recording of the human voice and continued with the introduction of technological designs such as radio, record and television into human life, gave birth to the secondary oral culture -electronic culture- in Walter Ong's expression. Here, the performer in the oral culture and the text in the written culture are transferred to a new context. The word or text here is supported by visual communication tools. In some, in the form of pictures, photographs, cartoons; in some, it accompanies the performer/narrator as an image (video). In this environment where access to technology is extremely easy, different performances/performances are observed. At the same time, this situation leads to the formation of products that can be consumed quickly. Today, electronic culture; web pages, social media channels, mobile phones, tablets, computers and mobile (portable) devices. Cultural interaction and transfer environment are provided by reproducing them. Like all other cultural yields, one of the areas where humor continues to live is the electronic culture environment. Human beings react differently to the events they encounter throughout their lives. Sometimes these reactions turn into action, in the form of laughter. As a requirement of self-preservation instinct, the act of laughing is a component of the person's self-protection mechanism. The artistic, critical and thought-provoking form of this action has created the art of humor. Humor is fed by the collective memory of the society and is accepted as the freedom area of the society. In this area, the act of laughing emerges as a result of social criticism. Political humor is also a means of expression used against power and those in power. It targets politicians and their politics. Humor has a great effect on changing or regulating social perception. Joke, which are told and transferred in oral culture and written in written and printed culture, are forms of expression of Turkish humor. Political humor is made on political issues and politicians in the jokes, which have a wide range of topics. In the introduction part of the study, the definition of the concept of humor and the main studies on this subject are mentioned, and the humorous genres and areas of humor are briefly summarized. Then, political jokes, which are the forms of expression of political humor in Turkey, were evaluated in the light of Humor Theories, Functional Theory and Performance Theory through examples compiled from web pages.
