Goals and membership
The goal of the Good Humor Party is to make people happy. The membership fee is stated as "three wide smiles a day". The party cooperates with people and organizations with similar goals, supports entertainment initiatives and finds humor in current affairs.{{cite web|url=http://www.naszswiat.net/y-we-woszech/nasze-sprawy/5567-partia-dobrego-humoru-wkroczya-do-woch.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222031230/http://www.naszswiat.net/y-we-woszech/nasze-sprawy/5567-partia-dobrego-humoru-wkroczya-do-woch.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=February 22, 2014|title=Partia Dobrego Humoru wkroczyła do Włoch|last=redazione|date=21 June 2023 |publisher=}}
A party symbol is Happy Skyscraper (Polish: Wesoły Wieżowiec), a model of a tall building bearing the party's logo. Those who wish to join the party are asked to download, construct and then photograph a model skyscraper alongside a well-known landmark in their town or city and then email it to the Good Humor Party. The first Happy Skyscraper was placed in Manhattan on 10 October 2012. Since then, model skyscrapers have been photographed in a variety of well-known locations, including Sydney, New Delhi, Santiago, Lima, and Yerevan.{{cite web|url=http://www.bumerangmedia.com/2013/04/wesoy-wiezowiec-partii-dobrego-humoru.html|title=Wesoły wieżowiec Partii Dobrego Humoru stanął w Sydney|website=www.bumerangmedia.com}}
Government and political stance
Good Humor Party claims to have its own informal government and ambassadors, including in the United States.{{cite web|url=http://www.akcjadobrapolskaszkola.com/art/2012/01/10/partia-dobrego-humoru-otwiera-swoja-wesola-ambasade-w-usa/|title=Welcome akcjadobrapolskaszkola.com - Hostmonster.com|website=www.akcjadobrapolskaszkola.com}} It is active on social media and has an e-magazine. Although the party describes itself as nonpolitical, in the 2012 United States presidential election, it supported the performance artist and presidential candidate Vermin Supreme.{{cite web|url=http://www.newsy.sadurski.com/Partia_Dobrego_Humoru___Good_Humor_Party/0/3/2747/1/Popieramy_kandydata_na_prezydenta_USA/|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130622120245/http://www.newsy.sadurski.com/Partia_Dobrego_Humoru___Good_Humor_Party/0/3/2747/1/Popieramy_kandydata_na_prezydenta_USA/|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 22, 2013|title=Popieramy kandydata na prezydenta USA - Partia Dobrego Humoru - najnowsze informacje, ciekawostki, newsy|first=Szczepan Sadurski, cartoonist; Agencja Reklamowa EMedia|last=www.emedia24.pl|website=www.newsy.sadurski.com}}
