  1. My favorite satire is The Daily Show. The Daily Show is a sarcastic, fake news show. It is a comedy type show that makes fun of politics and current news stories. Basically the show covers anything that draws a lot of media attention. It works because it is a direct satire. It does not sugar coat things and the show I feel like portrays what a lot of people are thinking, but not saying. It can be persuasive because it can be shockingly honest and blunt, but really funny.

  2. My favorite satire is one of the parodies from MadTV. It's called bon qui qui. It's about this girl that talks "ghetto" and isnt really at work in King Burger to take orders. She shows a lot of laziness and that she can care less about her job cause she is a teenager. It covers basically how a ghetto teenager would act and how funny they act. This parody goes to beyond sarcasm and exagerates with their actions and the point they are trying to get acrocc and make it into humor.
