Summary/Abstract: This paper has discussed humor in the time of dictatorship by analyzing the types of humor and highlighting the names of humourists. This article denies the Australian anthropology Shanon Woodcock, who concluded that Albania lacked anecdotes against socialism. Çapaliku finds anecdotes that mock socialism and the dictator Enver Hoxha and also finds documents that prove how humorists were eavesdropped on and denounced.
