Saturday Night Live

Saturday night live is a huge example of satire. They mostly act out what other actors do. The reason they do this is for entertainment. The reputation of someone could be messed up for this too. Sometimes though its not bad stuff because lots of people dont care. The people they make fun of are all around the world.

Politcal Cartoons

The satire talks about the politcians and political issues.the policy decisions and personalty traits of elected officials can be flawed. This picture is satire because the president is not suppose to bow to anybody. It makes the whole leader week. There are many questions why some certain people make decisions like this when they are in charge.

Austin Powers

I say this is satire because austin powers makes fun of many things. He also makes fun of the actors in the movie. This is satire because of the made fun of the 1960s spy movies. This movie is satire over sexism towards women. Ridiculues escapes by the spyand stupidity of the evil villain.

Scary movie


Scary movie is an example of satire that makes fun of horror movies. It exaggerates the techniques used by horror movies to scare audiences. The movies personally I think are funny and people shouldnt take it seriously. Sometimes they can take the movie too far with their satire and the movie becomes stupid. I think that if you watch the real movies they make fun of, then watch this movie, the real movie wont be so scary.

The Daily Show

The daily show is an example of satire that mocks television news.  It identifies human flaws and vices related to politics, entertainment, and current events.  While many people think the Daily Show goes to far and touches on sensitive subjects, it is just a show for entertainment.  People should not view it as negative, but as a way to view our situations in a silly manner.
