British cultural satire

British cultural satire is a form of humor and critique that uses wit, irony, and exaggeration to comment on societal norms, politics, and institutions. It aims to highlight absurdities or flaws within British society, often challenging authority or tradition in a clever, indirect way. Through satire, creators encourage audiences to reflect on issues like class, politics, and social behavior, fostering awareness while entertaining. It is a distinctive part of British culture, historically exemplified by writers like Jonathan Swift or shows like "Monty Python," and continues to be a powerful tool for social commentary.
