can anyone explain to me what satire means?

Question

literary element

Answer 1

To deliberately poke fun at an event, issue, feeling, etc...by exaggerating and embellishing the points in which you disagree with or have an issue with to show or demonstrate how foolish the event, issue, feeling etc really is.

Answer 2

Satire is when you decide to mock something (an art form, type of song, an author's body of work) by using common ideas, story devices, characters and ways the stories are told and then making them slightly wrong just enough to make your satire funny. Mel Brooks movies are excellent low-brow satire. The more subtle(less obvious) your satire is the better it is. The idea behind it is to do such a good job of imitating something that your satire gets laughs and you laugh when you watch the original.
Good Luck,
