Refer back to the satire handout on Blackboard and perform a brief analysis of your favorite satire. What is it commenting on? How does it work? Why is it funny, biting, or persuasive?

My favorite satire is the one Family Guy did on Jersey Shore. It was funny how they made the characters look, as well as making them look like they were the bad people. It shows how ridiculous the show really is and how even though it's so stupid, people still watch it. I believe this is indirect satire because it is communicated through the characters, however it could also be direct because it is pretty obviously stated that it is making fun of Jersey Shore. Acting like if they are from Jersey Shore is a crime or something makes the satire very funny and entertaining.
