Saturday Night Live Satire Through, the use of parody and low comedy; the producers of Saturday Night live expose the behavior and habits of our Candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. In this certain episode “Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton Debate Cold Open” the actors embody their role quintessentially. Everyone knows Donald Trump's phrase “Wrong” and the fact that he likes to speak nothing but ludicrousness when addressing certain situations. During the episode the actor exaggerates Trumps habits by using Horatian satire which leads the audience to laugh. Another point the producers try to make is the fact that both Candidates are ridiculous. Neither Trump nor Hillary deserve the title of commander in chief but America must choose

    Political Satire Braindead

    The television show for my discussion is called Braindead. This is a television show filled with political satire that I find amusing. The setting of the show is Capitol Hill where alien type of ants invade the brains of both Democrats and Republican politicians in Congress. Once the ants are done feasting on your brain the politicians become Braindead and act absolutely ridiculous and behave absurd.…

    Rhetorical Analysis: Make America Great Again

    Donald Trump’s slogan may be “Make America Great Again” but that will never be reality with him as president. According to polls from Huffington Post on Apr. 3, 45 percent of Republicans favor Trump. With blatant statements for everything ranging from women to war, the real estate tycoon dominates over the presidential election despite being the most unqualified candidate due to his political career, or lack thereof. However, the overwhelming preference for him is distressing because he built his rhetoric on bigotry and a shaky involvement with politics.…

    Rhetorical Strategies In The Presidential Debate Of Donald Trump And Hillary Clinton

    In a recent presidential debate, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton argued their character, and if they are fit to serve as president of the United States or not. Throughout their debate they depended on both rhetorical fallacies and strategies to build their arguments and prove their capability to run this country. Although the arguments made by the candidates seem to be just repetitive nuances of common issues, this debate gives us an idea of the duties and character traits a president must obtain. From start to finish, the candidates in this debate use rhetorical strategies to make their arguments stand out.…

    Satire In The Simpsons

    In today’s society we are introduced to many problems that are always put to the side and is never taken care of because people are so in denial and don’t want to face the truth. In the simpsons intro the writer uses satire( the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues) to explore the flaws of society through his made up fictional characters. Some issues that I have come to a realization are the fact that parents in this century are not paying enough attention to their children and holding them fully responsible for their own actions. In other words children are doing whatever they please with no care whatsoever in the world because they know that there is no consequences for their actions. This also causes these children and teens to misbehave in class which leads to a distraction that takes away learning from kids whom parents actually send them to school to learn.…

    It's 12:30 in the afternoon and I have just rolled out of bed. I made myself a veggie omelette with a side of turkey bacon and a cup of coffee. I make myself comfortable on my living room couch and turn on Netflix. As I sit there and contemplate about what to watch, I decide to take a trip to the 1970's and turn on "That '70s Show."…

    Cops Satire

    Sometimes in life you may feel like you are living a movie or a television show. I’m going to tell you about a time I felt I was living the television show Cops. Cops is a reality show where criminals are arrested. I learned that the catchy title song “Bad Boys Bad Boys Whacha Gonna do When They Come for You’’ really means something after all. Being young, dumb and doing stupid things ended with me being arrested and taken to the Polk County Jail.…

    I Am America, And So Can You ! By Stephen Colbert

    Colbert makes homophobia seem single-minded, sexists look like Neanderthals, censorship childish, and Racists as outdated and unwanted as the United States’ Postal Service. As I stated earlier satire is a complicated form of comedy, as an example the Stephen Colbert you have likely seen today on the Colbert Report is not actually what the man is like off camera. Though I know from news interviews of Colbert being out of character that he is Catholic, from the South, but is not conservative, obviously. (BIO, n.d) Colbert’s humor is viewed as liberal satire, meaning it makes conservatives look like uninformed idiots. Colbert is also known to rip on major slam talk show hosts like Bill O’Reilly, which make sense because Colbert created his character to be just as obnoxious as Bill O’Reilly…

    High School Satire

    Occasionally I look back on my high school experience and realize I never did a keg stand at a party, I never skipped class to get stoned, and I also never got the guy I had a crush on for three years. Instead, I was studying for that AP government exam, standing in front of my fellow science club members talking about how we can restore our local creek, or working on hitting fastballs for softball. When I catch myself feeling as though I missed out on stereotypical high school or even college experiences I watch a movie not just any movie but a teen comedy. My ideal teen comedy has a group of friends who are about to graduate high school or already have that feel like they missed out on the clique high school experience, in order to gain some…

    Political Satire

    One ominous morning of 2008 I woke up to a saddened atmosphere. I look around at my parents, who are hardcore republicans, and asked them what was wrong. They said that they had lost the election. My eight year old self replied that they never won because they never ran, and of course they explained that their party lost the run for presidency. For the years to come every time I would look at the news and see a little “R” next to a person name I would know that they are the “good guys”.…

    Animal Farm Satire

    There are many ways to harvest chicken and meats, but the most common one and the one you’re consuming may have been raised in the cage free environment and getting injected with steroids. That’s sound free and happy right? Well no is not, cage free stands for having thirty thousands of chicken or even more, stuck in a dark place where they cannot move. The chicken are only allowed to stand in one place, do their needs in that same place and not even get clean. Imagine your meats and poultry being injected with steroids, how bad does that sound?…

    Dystopia Aldous Huxley uses many political and social issues such as drugs, sex, and brainwashing to create the theme of the novel. He also uses diction and details to emphasize the theme. The World State’s use of conditioning centers forces the whole of the society to find the value in spontaneous sex and drug usage. He uses satire to reveal that he does not want bokanovskfiy indefinitely because it would take away all individuality.…
