What is Satire?
The Big Bang Theory
The Big Bang Theory is a excellent example of satire. The show makes fun of "dumb people" and nerds. The show uses ton of irony, reversal, metaphors in the show. An example of satire in the show would be Dr. Rajia Regesh can speak to women yet he is married to miss india. Another example is the main group (Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, Raj) all how very attractive wives and girlfriends which is exactly the opposite in most cases. My last example is one of the main characters is waitress yet can afford the same stuff as a physicist with a PHD.
Satiracle Example: Cartoons and Memes
George Dunking
This picture describes George Washington dunking on Kim Jong Un while Abe Lincoln blocks out Stalin. The main point being we kicked our enemies butts. The joke appeals to america because the other team is america's enemy. It describes how america gets the job done.
Bad Judge
The Picture describes a person who has been incriminated being taken away non-guilty. The point being the judge is always right. That our judicial system might be a little untrustworthy or wrong.
Global Warming
The picture has a sign that says walk for global warming and only one person is there. The point being no one is worrying about global warming and if no one starts paying attention we might not have enough time to change. The author wants to bring awareness to global warming because it's a big thing, it's a hot topic.
