satirical television

Satirical television uses humor, irony, and exaggeration to critique or comment on societal, political, and cultural issues. It aims to entertain while encouraging viewers to think critically about current events, authority, and social norms. Through parody, mockery, and clever storytelling, it highlights flaws and absurdities in institutions or behaviors, often challenging viewers to question accepted narratives. Examples include shows like "The Daily Show" or "Saturday Night Live." Satirical TV combines wit with insight, making complex or serious topics engaging and accessible without diminishing their importance.
