This was originally going to be a meta, but I figure the humor can be more visible if I make it a themed puzzle. Also I don't have to twist myself into knots turning these four jokes into a coded message that never fits right any way.

    haha. Some of the fill was tough but I loved the cluing. I think I found my new political party at 36A. And I occasionally still 1A. Well in theory anyway. There are tons of them still on my shelves gathering dust. Thanks for the puzzle!

      Before flippers were introduced in 1947, this was considered a game of chance and was illegal in many jurisdictions as a form of gambling. In 1976, Roger Sharpe demonstrated to the New York City council he could actually control the ball in order to overturn the ban in NYC.

Koch (1906-1967) was a Nazi war criminal known as "The Witch of Buchenwald" who should be forgotten for all eternity.
