Why do politicians often become the subject of humor?

Politicians become the subject of humor not because they are inherently funny, but because their hypocrisy and empty promises make them the jesters of their own game.

— Osho
According to Osho, politicians invite humor because political ambition attracts the least creative, pettiest minds—people hungry for power, not creation. Their hypocrisy, empty promises, manipulative slogans and perpetual public smiles make their conduct self-satirizing; you needn’t mock them—they expose themselves. Those capable of music, art, or genuine creation shun politics; what remains is mediocrity on display.

Many politicians chase power instead of creating real good, so their fake smiles and broken promises naturally make people laugh at them.
