Satire

    There are many examples of satire in writing. It occurs in many different movies, books, plays, and it also occurs in music. Saturday Night Live is an extremely well-known t.v show that incorporates satire into its sketches and story lines. Sketches about politics and the government are very popular in this show and many times, they make satire based on these topics as well. It always keeps the audience on their toes and it definitely spreads more word about the show.


   Some viewers may find their satire content to be offensive and they may often complain about what is being said. Serious topics like diseases, campaigns, and current world-wide events are definitely an influence on this show and it shows it in their skits. A lot of the times while writing these skits, they try to make them interesting and they want to create the unexpected. The amount of satire content in this show is definitely big, and without some of it, Saturday Night Live would probably not be as popular as it is now-a days.
