Summary:Humour is a complex reality but, despite its ambivalence and ambiguity, it can be a valid strategy for certain communicative goals. This is what happens with informative parody. It linked to current news. This represents the serious by presence or by absence or evocation, whereas informative parody becomes events, figures, speeches, news in target of the humor.
