What are satires and how do they work? People talk about those all the time, like modern satires would be the Simpsons, Family Guy, or the late night talk shows such as Letterman, Leno, Colbert (mainly for politics). Its suppose to be ironic and humorous but I'm not sure how it works.


Can people post some examples, such as pictures or parts of a book or something and explain it? Btw this is for a project, thanks!

It's basically something (such as literature) that tries to ridicule something. I don't know if you've ever read it (it's short), but George Orwell's "Animal Farm" is a satire against communist governments (specifically Josef Stalin).

Family Guy is extremely weak as far as satire goes. Southpark is a much stronger example. It's essentially parodying something to show its absurdities. Lettermen and Leno aren't very satirical though. The Daily Show generally is and Colbert's whole persona is a satire on Bill O Reilly and the like. The War on Imaginationland or Vote or Die are other good examples.

The most famous satires are probably Animal Farm, A Modest Proposal and nearly anything by Mark Twain. Oh, and of course The Onion. :D

Basically, something that imitates/ exaggerates something else in order to mock it. A good example is Dr. Strangelove.

Back in highschool I had to write a satire for Humanities.

My senior year the administration decided to take us out of class for 2 periods and forced us to go to an assembly, where two college dropout assholes tried to lead us through a bullshit five page pamphlet in how to find what we're good at and what we want to do with our lives, and then sell us class memorabilia like the gowns, special tassels, keychains and rings. My satire was just a written remake of their presentation.
