You can show a girl get stabbed and kids hung but you have to blur out a middle finger to conform to youtube guidelines... On a video about satire. Brilliant.

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here, this is the war room!"

Another fact about the war room: the table is covered in green felt, like you'd find on a pool or gambling table, emphasizing that the whole thing is either a game or a gamble. Yes, the movie is in black and white. Yes, the audience can't actually see the green felt. Yes, Kubrick specifically requested a green felt table in a movie that he intended to shoot in black and white, knowing full well that the audience would never actually appreciate that little touch. But-the actors knew it was green felt and what it represented.

Satire is essentially holding up a circus mirror to an issue to illustrate your point. The specific distortion that circus mirror creates can vary, as excellently covered in this video ! Great job once again 💪

So I took a Roman Satire class as part of my masters in Classics, and I happened to watch Borat for the first time that semester. It was honestly wild to see how the tradition has carried on. I would say the one element missing from this analysis is the way in which Satire mocks something, but in doing so turns a mirror on its audience. At first, you laugh at the thing being mocked, but the bigger question is: what does your reaction to the target being ridiculed reveal about you?

I didn't think I needed this video but Studiobinder is back at it again

The German version of "I want to hold your hand" isnt really a "cover" since it is actually The Beatles themselves, recording an alternate version for the German speaking market (West Germany, Austria, Switzerland). It might seem strange to us now, but this wasn't too unusual back then

Jojo Rabbit: Nazi satire as a satire of "The Wes Anderson Style."

It seems like juvenalian and menippean would have a huge overlap - ridiculing institutions or class structures would quickly become tied up with the ridiculing the attitudes and ideas upholding those structures.

It's a shame that 'The Boys' wasn't mentioned in this video. It's probably one of the most relevant satirical shows right now with It's depiction of Capitalism and Celebrity culture

I study an MPhil in Modern Philology and one of my courses on poetry of the XVI century started by explaining the three types of satire, like you guys are doing with movies! It's always a pleasure to watch your videos

Ok, ok, look, I haven't watched Idiocracy, but the line "so you cared whose ass it was, and why its farting" has convinced me to

Man I wish there was some Four Lions references in here, one of the best satires.

I don't understand the categories. The first ones are based on tone, but the last is based on the target

Actually, the Beatles got their breakthrough singing in Germany before they got famous in the UK. That was probably their original song in German. They had a limited repertoire of songs that could be easily translated.

Sometimes I wonder if Team America failed as a satire, considering the most common usage is unironic jingoism

Interesting ideas. Every upload all the core ideas you've mentioned before just comes together. Keep informing

13:54 I don't think that's a cover. The Beatles did record German versions of a couple of their early songs.

This turned out useful to help me clarify how could I do a script that targets the ideas that I want. Before I just wanted to shoot everything but now I think reducing the targets would work better. A menipean satire would work, or maybe It could turn Juvenalian during writing
