SATIRE. WHAT A WONDERFUL CONCEPT. Satire is what brings us
today’s most popular forms of entertainment. “Today’s episode of Family Guy is
brought to you by the best thing on planet earth. Satire… and the letter A.” In
today’s comedic acts, the comedians often use forms of satire when telling a
story and trying to portray it in such a way that the audience will find it
funny. To do so, they use SATIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. For example, Bo Burnham.
**I will for warn you that this could easily be offended. So
if you are easily offended, do not watch.**
Satire is so popular in today’s culture because sarcasm and
irony is such a popular source of laughter. And we are an extremely dramatic
generation of over exaggeration an ironic or sarcastic situation is like the
golden key to making a person laugh. Oh, and if it’s insulting we usually find
it even more entertaining… because we’re such great kids and all… one thing I found
very interesting, and also true, is the fact that components of satire such as
sarcasm, irony, and hyperbole’s do not translate over to other languages and
cultures. So it kind of makes you think, did we invent the concept of satire? If
we did then when? And how? Hmmmm….
