Satire
A satire is A literary work in which human vice or folly is attacked through irony, derision, or wit. Satire is prose or verse that employs wit in the form of irony, innuendo, or outright derision to expose human wickedness and folly. ... Satire makes us aware that evil exists, and makes people wiser or braver by laughing at it. Satire can be traced all the way back to Rome, where social criticisms, not governmental criticisms, were the focus of satirists. Today, authors use satire to poke fun at all types of things- government, social affairs, religion, and many other aspects of our lives.
