Satire is a form of humor, and is considered the cruelest form of comedy. Satire points out the folly of people, organizations, institutions, and ideas. Often, satire will use fictional counterparts of real people as characters, as a parody of Real Life. However, a satirical work can also use original characters to explore the foibles or ramifications of an organization or course of action. Satire often relies on current events, which raises a danger that it won't be appreciated in another era. The poetry of Alexander Pope and John Dryden satirized English politics of the 18th century, but few would appreciate the humor now. The best satire can still be appreciated on its own merits even after the thing it's criticizing fades from consciousness. Occasionally, a piece of satire regains relevance in similar circumstances; for example, satire aimed at George Bush I (or, perhaps more justifiably, Richard Nixon) can often be easily applied to Bill Clinton; 1990s "look at the old guy!" barbs at Bob Dole were recycled in 2008 to target John McCain. The Roman poets Ennius and Lucilius are considered the progenitors of the genre, though almost all of their work has been lost. Latin satire was generally delivered in verse, like most literature of the time. It was considered the sole branch of literature native to Ancient Rome and there was no Greek equivalent, though some Greek comedy, such as Aristophanes, had elements that we would consider satiric. Horace, Persius, and Juvenal are perhaps the three most famous Roman satirists, ranging from good-natured (Horace disposing of a dreadful bore) to savage (Juvenal's condemnation of sodomites pretending to be philosophers). They are for the most part preoccupied with urban life, morality, and how other people suck. Literary convention divides satire into the Horatian (good-natured, almost affectionate, light-hearted, and more likely to view the target as foolish rather than evil) and the Juvenalian (contemptuous, abrasive, scornful, and outraged, relentlessly mocking a target often regarded as outright evil). See also Parody, Pastiche, Farce, Meta Trope Intro. Compare Deconstruction, as a lot of satire incorporates elements of it, as well as Black Comedy and Take That!. See also The Comically Serious, which is often a key component of satire. |

Lily and the Art of Being Sisyphus is a hilarious and exceptionally well-made satirical mockery of popular conventions in Harry Potter Fan Fiction, the Harry Potter fandom, and the universe of Harry Potter in general. Of special note is the relationship between the Mundane and Wizarding worlds — which is sharply delineated in the source material and most fanfiction. In the protagonist's eyes there is no divide, and a significant element of the humor stems from everyone around her being unable to parse this. | |

Calvin and Hobbes contains a variety of satire. Most often Calvin himself acts as satire of narrow-minded self-centeredness of people or the shallow ethos of the consumer society, sometimes other things. His father's behavior is often satire of certain kind of parental behavior. Both of them sometimes offer satire of hobbies taken too seriously (bicycling for Dad and chewing gum for Calvin). And there's more. | |

Starship Troopers, controversially, satirized the Cold War-era anticommunist hyper-militarism of the original novel and gung-ho war fiction more generally, the genesis of which was director Paul Verhoeven being unable to finish reading it when he got the job because it reminded him too strongly of his childhood in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands. The very Juvenalian film is formatted as a gung-ho Propaganda Piece to aid Terran Federation recruitment, even though the war is probably unnecessary, nearly everyone involved in it is incompetent, and they're losing. | |

The Daily Show satirizes modern US and global news events, as does the Spin-Off, The Colbert Report. Whether their satire is Juvenalian or Horatian depends on the subject: Fox News Channel? Juvenalian (particularly when it comes to Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity). Barack Obama? Horatian. George W. Bush? Are we talking 2001-2006 or 2006-2009?note First period is mostly Juvenalian, thanks to the Iraq War, etc., while second period he was seen as more or less pathetic, and leaned more Horatian. The rest of the media? What are they saying now? Etc., etc., etc. | |

Spitting Image: satirizing politicians and other celebrities of the day. Its more enduring portrayals are typically more Juvenalian (e.g. "I've Never Met a Nice South African", which calls all Afrikaners racist, ignorant, talentless, humourless, murderous, smelly loudmouths who exiled their one and only decent countryman). | |

When Stephen Colbert took over The Late Show in 2015, he took with him his satiric roots. He did change his approach, becoming rather more Horatian, as he shed his "Stephen Colbert-the-right-wing-pundit" character and simply appears as someone more or like his actual self (a rather mild-mannered liberal and suburban dad of deep but unostentatious Catholic faith). | |

Midnight Mass (2021): The show ultimately tries to point out the folly of being religious. The first two episodes clearly establish that the writers respect those with religious beliefs by accurately portraying Catholicism, but after that the show gets more and more offensive to religious people. By the end of the the first season, it's clear this is a satire that favors atheism over religious beliefs. The Decoy Protagonist is an atheist who tries to stop the Catholic vampires, and the first victim of the show, a dog, is killed by the most well-read Catholic character. There are some "classic" anti-Catholic tropes present throughout the season, such as only one Catholic knowing much about Scripture, Catholics drinking literal blood as opposed to blood in the form of wine, the Church embezzling people's money, the monsignor regretting becoming a priest and fraternizing with a member of his flock, the faithful being timid and subservient to the one person who quotes Scripture the most, and Catholics being generally closed-minded concerning other religions. While there are two characters who are Muslim, one of them converts to Catholicism and by the end of the show they both die while praying. Moreover, the Catholic vampires all die while singing a hymn, which is a form of prayer. In the season finale, one of the supposedly devout Catholics, who has attended Mass every day, suddenly goes through a "death-bed conversion" to atheism, insisting that she will become one with the universe after decomposing and even going so far as to use the phrase "I am that I am," making herself equivalent to God, which is the last thing one would expect a devout Christian to say. |

Sword Art Online Abridged, in addition to parodying the source material, also satirizes the video game industry and its questionable practices. For example, the very first joke in the series mocks game companies that aggressively force adverts in players' faces and use micro-transactions to extort money for features that should be in the game from the beginning (such as, in this case, removing the ads). The titular game itself is shown to be an invoked Obvious Beta with many Game Breaking Bugs that occurred because it was Christmas Rushed, paralleling real games like Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) that fell to the same fate. It also attacks "crunch time" and overworking developers by showing that this led to many of the bugs plaguing the game. In addition, real companies like Bethesda and Ubisoft are made into targets of ridicule by being the publishers who are responsible in-universe for the games releasing in their terrible state, as well as fostering toxic work environments that overwork their best developers (Akihiko Kayaba) and allow sexual predators to do as they please (Noboyuki Sugou). | |

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory satirizes parents who coddle and indulge their children, and the spoiled brats that said children become (embodiments of gluttony, greed, pride, and sloth), with a contemptuous, Juvenalian approach as the brats meet a variety of blackly comic fates. The Serious Business of the Golden Ticket hunt and its media coverage come in for gentler, Horatian satire, especially in adaptations. The 1971 and 2005 film adaptations dial back the aggressiveness of the satire with regards to the brats. But the 2013 stage musical not only updates two of the brats to satirize vapid modern celebrity (Violet) and parents who try to excuse a child's downright malicious behavior (Mike) but tightens the screws — several of them suffer karmic Death by Adaptation. | |

Veep, Transatlantic Equivalent of The Thick of It, is, despite coming from the same crew, surprisingly far less Juvenalian and even moves into Horatian territory, with the politicians and staffers mostly being overworked or likeably incompetent rather than scheming sons-of-bitches. It helps that there is no clear equivalent to Malcolm; the Invisible President's messenger to the VP's office is possibly the saddest schmuck in the District (and the District is full of schmucks). This is partly because Armando Iannucci was struck (while researching for In the Loop) about how young everyone in the American government seemed to be. (Today, "the Veep explanation" (or similar) of a political phenomenon is a common Beltway shorthand descriptor for "the explanation that assumes that the phenomenon is the result of overworked and/or incompetent staffers trying to make sense of their equally-overworked and/or incompetent bosses' pronouncements without any of it being part of a plot for anything more nefarious than temporary political advantage this news cycle.") | |

Beavis and Butt-Head Do America mockingly puts it feet down further at The U.S. Federal Governments incompetence, inadequacy and inefficiency, especially when dealing with dangerous criminals and terrorists, predating the 9/11 tragedy of 2001.

Have I Got News for You.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Very Juvenalian, the novel satirizes Imperialism: The Nautilus itself is a parody of The Empire - a Oddly Small Organization that manages to be a N.G.O. Superpower, their members only consumes sea products and speak only their own language, but we never know any of them, nameless masses. The only one who matters is Captain Nemo (the Emperor), who claims a entire continent on his name and constantly crosses the Moral Event Horizon for no other reason because he can. The three prisoners personify the attitudes about The Empire of the conquered nations: Aronnax is the high class, who tries to get all the knowledge he can from the Empire, Counseil is the middle class, who passively accepts his loss of freedom as something inevitable and doesn’t want to make a decision without the approval of the high class, and Ned Land is the lower class who rebels constantly and uselessly. However, after seeing Nemo’s Kick the Dog moment with his Weapon of Mass Destruction, the three classes agree that Nemo’s empire is as bad as any other. | |

Even Johann Sebastian Bach took a crack at satire, with his "Coffee Cantata" satirizing the then-emerging opinion that drinking coffee was a bad habit. Apparently, Moral Guardians were just as annoying in Bach's time as they are today. To top it all, the piece is not actually a cantata but a mini opera. | |

Alexander Pope's The Rape of the Lock is mocking the hubbub that sprang up when a friend of his cut a woman's lock of hair. Long story short: hair gets cut, war erupts.

"The Dead Past": Dr Asimov takes the idea of an Obstructive Bureaucrat, creating a world where governments dictate scientific progress, and then takes it apart to see how it fails. The government is trying to preserve our way of life (rather than withholding the technology for selfish motives). The hyper-focus in narrow fields of study was supposed to prevent the advancement of certain fields (except an unrelated field was responsible for a huge leap forward in a suppressed field of study). The story ends with the suppressed technology getting worldwide publication, essentially proving that trying to suppress science will never work. | |

The articles in Private Eye are mostly Juvenalian satire... when they aren't hard-hitting straight-up exposés of real wrongdoing. Sometimes articles do dip into the Horatian (particularly the Prime Minister parodies, which are usually too ridiculous to be truly stinging). Incidentally, the founders of Private Eye in The '60s specifically cited (again) Punch in its heyday as their inspiration — rather than as it existed in their time, which they found rather insipid (and which eventually was reduced to writing nasty articles at the Eye's expense). | |

Peanuts dabbles in this occasionally: Linus' obsession with The Great Pumpkin was Charles Schultz's way of making fun of Santa Claus. A series of strips in October of 1964 featured Linus running for president as a strongman candidate, only to have his political career ruined by a gaffe involving (you guessed it!) The Great Pumpkin. Later adapted into You're (Not) Elected, Charlie Brown. |

The Patrick Star Show: Following the show's Growing the Beard, episodes sometimes have a satirical bent to them, mainly about the entertainment industry. "Get Off My Lawnie" takes on stan culture. Granny Tentacles accidentally becomes a famous TV star, resulting in her getting an unwanted army of Loony Fans who break into her house and think everything she does is part of her "character" on the show. After chasing her relentlessly, they beg her to say her famous Catchphrase Insult: "SAY WE HAVE NO LIVES!" At the end, once Granny Tentacles finally embraces her fame, her fanbase has moved on to an incredibly vapid thing to obsess over: an old man painting a fence. "Bubble Bass Reviews" is an Affectionate Parody of 2010s Video Review Shows, and how hostile these reviews can be towards people who work on the shows. Bubble Bass flat-out calls Patrick and Squidina the "enemies of the state" and rants that they be thrown in jail just because they make a show he doesn't like. At the end, Patrick and Squidina make their own review show on his review show, proving that he can't handle the same thing when it's done to him. "The Patrick Show Cashes In" is one on the treatment overly marketed franchises receive. It revolves around Patrick and Squidina licensing a variety of questionable and dangerous products. Even though the first Parody Commercial ends with the kids being bandaged and fainting, they continue to sell the products because they make money. However, the episode does have a legitimate moral that TV shows aren't about making money but instead Doing It for the Art. "Movie Stars" has a brief joke about franchise milking when SpongeBob and Patrick go to see "the new Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy Pets Movie: 'Mermaid Worm & Barnacle Barnacle: Episode 6: The Bubble Blowers Revenge, Part 2'!" The title is so long that SpongeBob can barely say it in one breath. Squidina also assumes that blatant Product Placement in films doesn't work, only to see that Cecil has immediately fallen victim to it. "Dr. Smart Science" has some choice words about pop psychology and pseudoscience. Patrick preaches astrology on his show, describing, "if you've ever thought, 'coming up with my own personality is too hard,' you're gonna love this!" He then launches into a prediction for Sagittarius: they will be very unlucky unless they purchase his products and healing crystals. An old man excitedly dials in, planning to cancel his doctor appointment. "Big Baby Patrick" satirizes the Spin-Off Babies phenomenon, pointing out just how dull and uninteresting these shows are because there's not a lot that babies can actually do, and they're too young to really have a clue what's going on anyways. |

Punch!, a British magazine launched in 1841, was a groundbreaking satirical periodical, including satire of then-contemporary society and politics.

In the setting, failed start-ups go under literally, being sunken under the earth, have their members turned into monsters, and become dungeons. A lot of the dungeons poke fun at the kind of projects they do (an app to facilitate the Gig Economy, a dating app, a new cryptocurrency, etc), but a lot of the story also point out the excess of start-ups, their poor management, hiding flaws behind corporate speak, the conflict between bosses and workers, and stealthily supports worker unionization. | |

Doki Doki Literature Club! satirizes the relationship between video game players and characters by invoking Video Game Caring Potential, then having bad things happen to the characters, and then having dialogue reacting to this as in Video Game Cruelty Potential, showing that kind of thinking as horrifying rather than fun.note The creator has also called it "satire" of the genres it's initially a pastiche of, but that mostly matches the definition of parody. | |

DarkMatter2525: Many if not most of the videos involve this, running with common apologetics claims to show what they entail in Real Life. For instance "How To Be Like God", which displays how defenses against the problem of evilnote the ancient question how an all-good, all-powerful, all-wise deity can possibly coexist with the evil in the world. like respect for free will, being simply "mysterious" etc. would seem if a person did them (i.e. a huge sadistic jerk who lets you die rather than give help he could easily provide). | |

Helldivers is a satire of American neoconservatism and War on Terror politics, as well as a Parody of Paul Verhoeven's Starship Troopers. The Helldivers are the forces of a dystopian Super Earth fighting offensive wars against various alien races in the name of "spreading freedom and democracy". Of course, Super Earth is actually a People's Republic of Tyranny and the brainwashed citizens do not even really understand what democracy is. Where it gets really on the nose is the reasons for war against Super Earth's enemies: The Cyborgs? They blew up District 48 and might be Dirty Communists; the Illuminate? Super Earth Senator John W. Killjoy has evidence that the squid aliens have nano-fusion obliterator bombs and the government feels threatened by an alien race who can rival or exceed human technology; and the Bugs? Well, when they die and decompose, the create an awful lot of oil byproduct... | |
