HUMOR W CZASACH ZARAZY (POLSKA 2020–2022)
HUMOR IN TIME OF PLAGUE (POLAND 2020–2022)

Summary/Abstract: The article presents humor created in Poland during the COVID-19 pandemic from March 2020 to February 2022. Internet memes, social media statements, jokes and comical graphics present in public spaces were created by Poles in reaction to the events brought by the pandemic. Among the main topics of pandemic jokes were: making supplies, sitting at home, staying in quarantine, illegal gatherings, remote working and schooling, pandemic absurdities, symp- toms of coronavirus infection, and vaccines. At the same time, there were taboo topics that were unlikely to be subject to jokes. The humor of the pandemic initially served a therapeutic and bonding function, but later turned into sarcasm and took on an aggressive tinge.
