The End Satire

“The Office” is a critically acclaimed comedy television series spanning nine seasons. The show is a “mockumentary” a style of satirical comedy that is crass in nature. But uses its platform to shed light on the hazards of societal norms that reinforce stigmatic ideals. This particular show follows salesmen’s lives around the workplace in a dying work field of a small town.

Following the success of the US version of The Office starring Steve Carell on NBC, Parks and Recreation, a small-town government political mockumentary, premiered on NBC in April 2009. The show trails Leslie Knope, an employee of Pawnee, Indiana’s Parks and Recreation department, as she pursues both her political and altruistic ambitions to better the town and perhaps the entire country through bureaucratic hard-work. The audience journeys through the amusing political climate of a small middle-America town, as Leslie attempts to beautify and magnify her town via new parks, programs, and events. With thanks to the talented, comedic cast, including SNL’s Amy Poehler and The West Wing’s Rob Lowe, Parks and Recreation aired for 7 seasons, recently

Final Paper Rough Draft Auston Collins Ever since their inception in the early 1930’s, television programs have revolutionized the United States in countless ways. From informing millions about current news to allowing sports fans to watch their team playing across the country, television has truly been one of the most revolutionary inventions of the past century. More recently, television programs have begun to comment and take a position on current events. In particular, satire has been very common, as it uses wit and irony to critique certain aspects of society.

Medieval literature is involved in the school classroom for a very long time. Medieval literature is very important and even though it's old it offers many interesting stories and life lessons. There are many medieval literature works- Beowulf, the author tales, and more. The film of Monty Python and the holy grail combines all the medieval literature and satirises them all. The Monty Python film mocks and satirizes a lot of the important themes in the medieval literature. Among the many themes it satirizes, the theme of Chivalric Code and Knightly Behavior is the most prevalent. Many themes are repeated over and over again and it is easy to draw conclusions from what we read in class to the movie. Through this essay I will show these examples.

Use the guided analysis exercises within the lesson as a model for this part of the assignment.

In the film Wag the Dog, many units such as humor, irony, and satire were present and played a predominant role throughout the movie. With the presidential election just a few weeks away,mother president is blamed inveighing and alluring a firefly girl who is underage. While watching the film I thought it was very ironic for the other presidential candidate to use saying such as “thank heaven for little girls” on his television commercials. All of a sudden the mastermind Brennan came up with a plan to make the firefly girl scandal disappear. The first plan evolved the president to spend a few extra days out of country because the b-3 bomber had been activated.

When watching TV, it is almost certain that an infomercial will cross paths with an innocent bystander. Some people ignore the enticing “deals” on their television, but others cannot help the classic “but wait there’s more” call. Today in America and around the world, consumers are being subliminally advertised to whether it is by a billboard, an online article, promotion by a celebrity, or even a commercial on TV. Many in the advertising and market industries use strong rhetoric to lure people into buying a product or service. The MagnaSoles article from “The Onion” however , exposes the loopholes in a satirical manner for those who may not be aware of the constant marketing battle.

Technology and control by the state is a theme constantly touched in Brave New World; states is control of many thing. Many of which would be reproduction in using eugenics; to sterilize women specifically the poor and those of color as what nazi germany did.

Three of the most clever, entertaining, and all around well-made films I’ve ever seen are the three that make up what is known as The Cornetto Trilogy: Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World’s End. While the first two very clearly take well known genres and play on conventional expectations of them, the last breaks out of the box slightly and thus makes it harder to define. The one unifying factor to be found in all of them, aside from the obvious recasting of main characters and director, is that they can all be considered comedies. However, similar to the way Shaun of the Dead uses the concept of a zombie movie and creates a movie falling into that category that breaks the mold of other previous zombie films, all three take the category

Dr. Seuss, an amazing writer who showed the world of satire and literature to all ages. Books such as The Lorax, The Foot book and The Butter Battle Book are perfect examples of that. Seuss, a man known for his creative vision and use of words, made these books a satire gold mine! We already know about his rhymes but Seuss was also extremely good at using exaggeration. Don't forget his amazing use of onomatopoeias or his profound use of repetition. I could go on forever but the fact is Dr Seuss and his creative mind has an amazing talent for using satire to make his books come to life. To make his books stick around for so long and to open the minds of his reader to the world of satire and the amazing world of literature.

My Opinion in on how we can end modern day is to fight to end it by making a statement and not just by yourself but by having a voice that can be heard in your community but also around the country as modern day slavery should stop no matter what type of circumstances that we may be going through as many of today's america problems involve race,sex trafficking,sexuality as many of america's circumstances exists around police brutality against blacks are the more talk about in america today but when so much police brutality going on not only are we killing ourselves but we are killing our society and how next generation will be formed,we are killing our next generation over sexually,race and how we dress and present ourselves in society in my opinion it needs to come to a stop and our voice should be heard not only when a situation happens but making a statement everyday not only just for a week and stop talking about the issue that is present at hand but many ways to bring a stop to the racism and judgment based on race is to make sure your voice get heard by making a statement by joining a local social justice group. One of the many social groups in charlotte that exists are the southern coalition for social justice,freedom
