'''Tactical frivolity''' is a form of public [[protest]] involving humour; often including peaceful non-compliance with authorities, carnival and whimsical antics. Humour has played a role in political protests at least as far back as the [[Classical Greece|Classical period]] in ancient Greece. However, it is only since the 1990s that the term ''tactical frivolity'' gained common currency for describing the use of humour in opposing perceived political injustice. Generally, the term is used to denote a whimsical, nonconfrontational approach rather than aggressive mocking or cutting jokes.
