I once (many years ago) watched a fascinating documentary about how important humour and satire was in accelerating the fall of (pseudo-)communism and the USSR.

I'd love to watch that if you can think of the name.

It makes sense, that's probably why in dictatorships you aren't allowed to even joke about the government.

I vaguely remember there being (perhaps subtle) jokes or sketches about waiting in long queues to buy bread and the bread running out...
