Satire in Television

      Satire can be found in many things, including television intros. One of the famous shows, The Simpson’s, displays a lot of satire. In this particular intro, more towards the end displays the Simpson family playing many other show for way back in the day. It starts off with the Simpson family playing The Honeymooners where they are in the kitchen. This is satire because they are showing all the people how silly old television was. The next part of the clip shows the intro to Dick Van Dyke. This shows Homer Simpson Falling over the ataman, making fun of the real show where the character really does trip over the furniture. The third clip shows a scene from the Brady Bunch. This correlates to satire because its making fun of Marsha and how she hurt her nose in the actual series. The last clip of the Simpson’s shows them all at the bar in the television series Cheers, where a character soon comes out from the door and sets the Simpson’s running. When they run off the stage they are finally in their own television show. This is satire because the Simpson family is poking fun at all the older television series.
