Scientific satire is a form of humor that critiques scientific practices, theories, or the scientific community itself. It often highlights absurdities, misconceptions, or ethical dilemmas in science, using wit to provoke thought and discussion. This genre can take various forms, including articles, cartoons, or videos, and aims to make complex scientific ideas more accessible and engaging. By employing exaggeration and irony, scientific satire encourages audiences to reflect on the implications of scientific advancements and societal attitudes toward science. Notable examples include works by The Onion or Saturday Night Live, which use humor to address real scientific issues while entertaining their audience.
