Andrzej Duda, the incumbent president of Poland was once pranked by some Russians during a phone call into believing he was speaking with Emmanuel Macron.
More recently a far-right mp Grzegorz Braun snuffed out Menorah in Polish Parliament building with a fire extinguisher.
A young danish female politician started her first speach in the european parlament with the words ‘this is my firs period’
Dennis Skinner would make a quip every time Blackrod opened parliament over his very long career. He also once called David Cameron “Dodgy Dave” and was kicked out of the house for the day for the comment.
On the right, Boris Johnson once bodied a child in Rugby.
For Poland: the entire Wałęsa presidency and the 90s in general. For more recent examples, everything Janusz Korwin-Mikke or Grzegorz Braun do
The first one that comes to mind was the leader of the green party said that the oil in the north sea was between the rocks on the sea bed. She was heavily critiquing the norwegian oil industry wich they want to dismantle. Also saying that the oil company she was talking about had their main office in the captiol. But it was actually in another town on the other side of the country wich is widely regarded as the “oil city”.
The same party was also said some stupid things about the road toll system in norway. The common argument was that it was getting to expensive for people to drive and some people may have to end up selling their car. The green partys response was that “Poor people do not own cars”.
Also a politicians once said “Ive never said it, but im happy to repeat it”
Probably others aswell. These are just the ones that comes to find as i find em laughable.
When there was arson in kebab pizzeria one left wing liberal woman politician automatically accused racists of it. And that Finland is racist country and we should be all ashamed. Then it was found out the arsonist was the kebab enterpreneur himself.
In Portugal in 2002 in the middle of Parliament, the President of the Assembly Mota Amaral (basically the Speaker) was quoting a law when he said “article 69, curious number”. The whole Parliament laughed their asses off so much the guy threatened to stop the session.
Croatia.
The mayor of the capital city died suddenly in 2021.
Officially it was a heart attack.
Unofficially Viagra during … Well, for whatever Viagra is used.
A Hungarian politician who is part of Hungaries Orban party, who are known to be very anti LGBT, was caught in a gay orgy in Brussels.
While Urho Kekkonen, president of Finland, can be a somewhat controversial figure in Finnish history, but he unquestionably had plenty of funny moments and strange habits.
For one, he used to take his most important guests to sauna, give them plenty of cognac and beer and once they were solidly drunk, start his diplomatic manouvers. He estabilished dominance by being butt naked and making the sauna unbearably hot, so visitors had to sit on the lower benches, below him. He also had high tolerance for alcohol, that he often used to outdrink people and milk them for preferrable promises.
One time Nikita Hrutsov, Soviet head of state, suggested that “How about we remove that border between our beautiful countries and make them into one”, to which Kekkonen replied “I’m sorry, but i don’t think i could govern such a big country”.
One politician, the late Michel Daerden, aka “Papa”, was well-known for getting outrageously, hilariously drunk on the job.
These instances were often caught on camera – either in Belgian Parliament, or sometimes even on live TV. At the time, Youtube was a small video-sharing platform, and clips of him went viral.
[Here](https://youtu.be/1tLEGy0ddkw?si=1eTWxHivMsdng1RA&t=241) he is in the Belgian Parliament, drunk as a skunk, trying to deliver a speech in Dutch, a language he barely knew even at the best of times.
And [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0rLAK-onJI) he is on RTL after the 2010 elections.
He had an extremely thick Liège accent, so sometimes it was even hard to tell if he was drunk or just Liegeois.

While the man was certainly a “bon vivant”, he undoubtedly had issues with alcohol.
In the early 90s in Sweden there was a serial shooter that targeted immigrants. When the prime minister held a meeting with representatives for immigrant groups and the meeting started to get heated, the minister for culture and immigration issues, Birgit Friggebo, interrupted and tried to get the crowd to sing ”We Shall Overcome” together. Needless to say that didn’t happen and even the prime minister Carl Bildt looked at her like she was crazy.

There’s a bar in Norway called “Dama di” which roughly translates to your girl or your girlfriend.
It’s a socialist/hipster bar so the leader of the communist party was going to have an event there where he talked a bit about the party’s policies and answered questions.
The party’s Facebook page wrote “Bjørnar Moxnes is coming on your girlfriend, are you coming?” with no further context.
They still claim it was an accident and unfortunate wording, but I think it was on purpose
Does letting your lover crush the government with luxury handbags count? Our government in 2013 collapsed due to a slightly bizarre scandal. Our prime minister Petr Nečas got himself a lover, Jana Nagyová. Nothing all that weird about that, right? Well, she used intelligence services to spy on his wife to get information against the wife. And people paid her for favours and acccess to the prime minister through various means, her favourite one being luxury handbags. But she didn’t mind jewelry and fur coats, either.
Petr Nečas actually ended up marrying his lover and countless court battles ensued. They’ve recently announced they’re divorcing.
Stephen Milligan, Tory MP, was found dead in his home naked except for a pair of stockings and suspenders, with an electrical flex tied around his neck, his head covered and an orange in his mouth
Well, I don’t think it was THE funniest thing that ever happened, but our former chancellor Schröder married a lady who’s surname was Köpf. There was a theoretical possibility to combine the names as Köpf-Schröder, which would have signified “behead Schröder“.
It still cracks me up (although I voted for him back then).
20 years later, she is still a politician in her own right and I have more respect for her than for her former husband. Yes, he’s the one with the Russian oil.
A guy previously sentenced for internet drug trade made an offer to the Ministry of justice – return me my forfeited laptop and I donate €40 million to the state.
“That’s great offer! Deal.” said the minister.
A while later, news reporters found the donation contract and started sniffing. Turns out that the laptop contained €500 million worth of Bitcoin. A hilarious chaos ensued, with government politicians excusing, defending and lying. One of their parliament members even said something like “I don’t know what bitcoin is.”
In the end, the minister was forced to abdicate. He was replaced by one of his most vocal defenders, who then hired a group of people to make a report about what actually happened and whether it was legal or not. One of them was ordered to write a summary report for the public. He just got fired and his report will not be released.
Yes, this happened in 2025. If that’s not a proper political comedy, I don’t know what would be.
OP mentioned Schiappa, but our former minister of the economy (and of debt digging), Bruno Le Maire, also wrote some novels while in office with some erotic passage. I let you enjoy the translation in English of a small part of his last masterpiece.
She turned her back to me; she threw herself on the bed; she showed me the brown bulge of her anus. “Are you coming Oskar? I’m as dilated as I’ve ever been.”
There was a prime minister a long time ago (2022) whose political career chances were compared to a head of lettuce.
They did a live stream of her photo next to a head of lettuce. She lasted 49 days and the lettuce was still going strong.
As the post of Attorney General is a political appointment, and he/she sits in on Cabinet meetings (though is not a member of the government), I do feel I can include the Attorney General in the broad category of politician. So, the weirdest thing one has done here is [harbour a double murderer](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/20/ireland-most-notorious-murderer-malcolm-macarthur-why-i-might-have-done-what-i-did).
Well there was this guy in Germany that taped himself licking public toilets and worse

Our “anti LMBT” who was caught on a gay orgy was already mentioned, so here’s another one: also Orban’s party, and they are famous for following “christian values”. So a video surfaced on the net, where one of these christian politicians was recorded on a yacht, with wh*rs and cocain. The news spread so slowly (or fidesz voters are so stupid) that he was still elected as the city’s mayor, but he resigned right after the elections.
It’s gonna be hard to beat [Pig-gate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piggate?wprov=sfla1)
But here are some other examples:
– Anything involving former culture minister [Nadine Dorries](https://youtu.be/sMFWT8HzsPg?si=oBFadjgts9wlEF8o)
– The time health secretary Matt Hancock hired a journalist who hated his guts to ghost-write his autobiography for him, who somehow managed to persuade him to share all his ministerial Whatsapp group chats with her and then leaked them all into the public domain
– The time Rishi Sunak (a person who grew up in a very privileged environment) was asked what major sacrifices his parents made for him to pay for his education. He said that they made him go without Sky TV. Sky TV is a satellite TV service that only a tiny fraction of the population had at the time and was considered by many to be a pointless luxury.
– Also, the time Rishi told a couple of teenagers he was a Coke addict, and then had to quickly correct himself to emphasise he meant Coca Cola
– The time former Prime Minister John Major set up a [hotline](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cones_Hotline?wprov=sfla1) solely dedicated to reporting renegade traffic cones
– The time Prince Andrew (does he count?) tried to defend his innocence against paedophilia allegations by insisting, among other things, that he wasn’t able to sweat, that he had gone to a pizza restaurant on the day of the incident, that he didn’t know where the bar was in the club where the incident allegedly took place, and that he had to meet Jeffrey Epstein four times just to tell him he was going to cease contact with him
– The time Liz Truss made an incredibly awkward speech trying to advocate for [British food exports](https://youtu.be/qfkSYY3OV-s?si=B_q_v10Pi_eyBUAY)
A minister from the ruling party declared a hunger strike, claiming the opposition was oppressing the government.
No, that’s not The Onion, that’s Serbia.
Nigel Farage made/makes £70 videos on Cameo in which he read amusing messages like wishing a happy birthday to “Hugh Janus” and talking about the ongoing crisis of “Remoaner Big Chungus” launching a military coup which you can stop by downloading some VPN or another on the link in the description.
Before the 1998 elections, the leader of the political party “Pensioners for Life Security” promised that if his party didn’t get into parliament, he’d eat a may beetle in public.
They didn’t get in, so he ended up eating a beetle, even though it wasn’t the may beetle – they couldn’t find any, so he ate a different kind of beetle.
