2. Wikipedia says

Satire is a technique used in drama and the performing arts,
fiction, journalism, and occasionally in poetry and the graphic arts.
Although satire is usually witty, and often very funny, this humour
is more often than not tempered by passion and anger, even righteous fury.


In fact, the primary purpose of satire is not humour as such
– but social or political criticism. The target may be a person,
an idea or attitude, an institution or a social practice: in any case
it is held up to merciless ridicule, ideally in the hope of
shaming it into reform. An essential, defining feature of satire is a
strong vein of irony or sarcasm, in fact satirical writing or drama
very often professes to approve values that are the diametric
opposite of what the writer actually wishes to promote.
