Comedy is a genre of entertainment that aims to provoke laughter through humor, often using exaggeration, absurdity, or relatable situations. It can take various forms, including stand-up routines, films, and television shows, and often highlights the quirks of everyday life or human behavior. Satire is a specific type of comedy that critiques societal norms, politics, or cultural issues through humor, irony, or ridicule. By exaggerating flaws or absurdities, satirical works, such as those by Jonathan Swift or Saturday Night Live, encourage audiences to reflect on serious topics while being entertained.
