Satire (Satire is primarily a literary genre or form, although in practice it can also be found in the graphic and performing arts. In satire, vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, and society itself, into improvement. Although satire is usually meant to be funny, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit as a weapon. Satire is nowadays found in many artistic forms of expression, including literature, plays, commentary, and media such as lyrics; The film The Great Dictator (1940) by Charlie Chaplin is a satire on Adolf Hitler; The film Dr. Strangelove from 1964 was a popular satire on the Cold War)

It casts an eye on society and its institutions and tries to expose wickedness, abuses of power and infringements of human rights and dignity. Straight satire is a continuous flow of scathing humor and caustic wit. It often uses exaggeration and fantastic occurrences to make its point. The most common types of satire are social satire, political satire and religious satire. Quite often, satire uses the vehicle of black comedy, science fiction or fable for its outer form of presentation. Parody and satire are sometimes confused. When the object of satire is a single individual rather than society, the term lampoon is often used.
