Satire What is it?

Satire Defined When human vice or folly (flaws)is attacked through irony, derision (making fun of), or wit for the sake of provoking or preventing change.

The following clip provides some background info on Satire:

In the next slide you will watch satire in action In the next slide you will watch satire in action. Answer the following questions while or after viewing the clip: ● What or who is being made fun of? ● How are they made fun of? ● Is it effective or well done? Why or why not?

Satirical Example from S&L

Now answer the following questions with your peers at your tables: What or who is being satirized or made fun of? How are they made fun of? Is it effective or well done? Why or why not?

Satire Vocabulary and Definitions Jot these down!

Humor The ability to perceive, enjoy or express what is amusing, comical, incongruous, or absurd

Incongruity Means not fitting together Brings together two ideas (or events or people) that do not belong together, are out of place or absurd in relation to its surroundings. Particular techniques include oxymoron, metaphor, and irony.

Irony The opposite of what or incongruity between what is expected to happen and what actually happens.

3 Kinds of Irony Situational-what actually occurs is the opposite of what you expect to occur EX: A man goes over a giant water fall in a barrel and survives, only to take a cleanup shower where he slips on the soap and dies from trauma and drowning. Verbal-saying the opposite of what you mean EX: A speaker say, “What lovely weather we are having;” while she is saying this and looking out the window, a rainstorm rolls in to the area. Dramatic—the audience know the opposite of what the character(s) knows to be true. EX: Romeo believes that Juliet is dead while the audience knows she is alive.

Wit Keenness and quickness of perception or discernment

Sarcasm A cutting, often ironic remark intended to wound

Hyperbole To enlarge, increase, or represent something beyond normal bounds so that it becomes ridiculous and its faults can be seen. Caricature is the exaggeration of a physical feature or trait. Cartoons, especially political cartoons, provide extensive examples of caricature. Burlesque is the ridiculous exaggeration of language. For instance, when a character who should use formal, intelligent language speaks like a fool or a character who is portrayed as uneducated uses highly sophisticated, intelligent language.

Reversal To present the opposite of the normal order. Reversal can focus on the order of events, such as serving dessert before the main dish or having breakfast for dinner. Additionally, reversal can focus on hierarchical order— for instance, when a young child makes all the decisions for a family or when an administrative assistant dictates what the company president decides and does.

Parody To imitate the techniques and/or style of some person, place, or thing in order to ridicule the original. For parody to be successful, the reader/viewer must know the original text or comment that is being ridicule.

Pun A pun is a play on words in which a humorous effect is produced by using a word that suggests two or more meanings or by exploiting similar sounding words having different meanings.

Now you have the tools to understand Satire. In the next couple of weeks we will be analyzing satirical writing and videos and asking the following questions of each? What is being saterised? Why is it satirical? Is it effective or well done? Why or why not?
