Satire

Satire is a comedic way to point out the flaws in our society or even specific persons, that could be based off of beliefs, race, gender etc. Not only is it a a comedic way to point out but gives constructive criticism on the certain flaws we have. Many television shows use satire as there comedy, such as south park or family guy, pointing out the flaws right under our noses with out even realizing it. "Fools are my theme, let satire be my song." -Lord Bryon. The quote is self-explanatory. Satire is making fun of someone, pointing out there flaws and whats wrong.
"First make people laugh, and then make them think."-Ig Nobel Prize Organizers. Satire is not always meant to make people laugh. Satire can also be used in serious discussions such as politics, religion, and art using forms of irony and burlesque. In the book Nine-teen Eighty four, the book can be viewed in a Juvenalian satirical style, with less pressure on humor but more in a political spectrum. Many people who do not understand satire may often get satire confused with teasing.Satire is to point out the flaws in us and others being used through wit, sarcasm, exaggeration, and irony. Teasing is usually just made to point fun or hurt. Horation satire is usually used in most mainstream things such as comedy's (colbert report, family guy.) Horation is much more common and very gentle, not serious.
