Abstract
ABSTRACT This study provides a comprehensive examination of humor scandals in Estonia from 1991 to 2022 through a mixed-method approach. The research identifies ten major national humor scandals, analyzed within the theoretical intersections of humor and scandal studies, with a specific emphasis on how they affect and are affected by Estonian national identity. Through systematic quantitative mapping, the study outlines the frequency, scope, and media coverage of these scandals, revealing a growing trend in humor-related controversies in Estonia’s post-Soviet era. The findings highlight the sensitivity toward national identity in Estonian humor controversies and contribute to the broader understanding of humor’s dynamic role in society.
