Satire Post #2
Satire, demonstrated in The Colbert Report and The Daily Show, is what people love to watch. People making fun of other people and saying rediculous things appeals to people. The main reason for this popularity is because of how funny these can be. Reporting on news and at the same time, mocking it, creates a hilarious atmosphere especially in these two shows.
People want to see others be outrageous and rediculous because they themselves are not outspoken or courageous enough. It’s like when people talk about how funny it would be if someone did that, or how crazy it would be if he actually said that. These shows are simply doing the out of the ordinary things, and have made a career out of it.
