Satire A brief overview

What is satire? Satire is a style of rhetoric that exposes vices and foolishness in people and society Satire generally uses humor, irony, sarcasm, and other techniques to get an emotional reaction from the audience Satire often aims to create political or social change

Types of Satire Horatian Juvenalian Pokes fun at human foibles (quirks, shortcomings) and folly, with witty, gentle, even indulgent tone. Juvenalian Denounces, sometimes harshly, human vice and error in dignified and solemn tones.

Elements of Satire Parody Imitating someone for comedic effect Often includes the use of other techniques (hyperbole, irony, etc.) Example: Weird Al Word Crimes

Elements of Satire Irony Using words in a way that conveys the opposite of their literal meaning Can be used to show difference between appearance and reality Overturning expectations Example: Star Trek reviews - Maybehttp://youtu.be/02LgdXVkXgM

Elements of Satire Hyperbole Also called exaggeration In satire, hyperbole is used to make an idea or situation seem ridiculous by taking it to the extreme Examples: Google opt-out - http://youtu.be/lMChO0qNbkY

Elements of Satire Understatement Like hyperbole, this is a type of exaggeration Can be used to make a situation or idea seem less important than it really is Example: “Just right” - http://youtu.be/y_HiX5eUfNo

Elements of Satire Caricature Exaggeration or distortion of an person’s physical features to the point of making that individual appear ridiculous. Example:

Elements of Satire Wit A clever expression Usually through clever word play Example: What’s the difference between a hippo and a Zippo? Why was the little ink drop crying?

Elements of Satire Sarcasm Like irony, but more “mean” Usually used to mock a person, situation, or idea Example: “Weirauch, you’re really cool.”

Elements of Satire Ridicule Intended to belittle a person or idea and arouse contemptuous laughter. Makes the topic seem ridiculous, laughable. Example: John Oliver Misleading food labels

Elements of Satire Invective Abuses, denounces, or attacks the subject. Heavy use of negative emotive language. Example: “His mother should have thrown him away and kept the stork.” Mae West “He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.” Oscar Wilde “He has Van Gogh’s ear for music.” Billy Wilder "A custom loathsome to the eye, hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain, dangerous to the lungs, and in the black, stinking fume thereof, nearest resembling the Stygian smoke of the pit that is bottomless." (King James I, "Counterblast to Tobacco")

Elements of Satire Incongruity Putting things together that normally wouldn’t go together This can be used to make ordinary things seem ridiculous Example: Obama teleprompter - http://youtu.be/aXQTaWjMoFw

Potential Problems with Satire Misunderstanding: Audience may think the satirist is being serious Misuse: People hide behind the idea of satire to get away with saying really stupid and cruel things Missing the Point: Too much satire can distract the audience from the “real” message

When analyzing satire, consider… SOAPS Subject: What is the main idea? Occasion: What current event/trend is the author reacting to? Audience: What person/group is the satire targeting?

SOAPS Purpose: What is the “real” message behind the satire? What should be changed? Speaker: How does the author create credibility? Why should we trust this person?
