Stephen Colbert is America, and So Can YOU

Never read it. Which type of satire is it?

Ummmm
What's the kind that mocks everything at once while being almost serious?

 

[Gene O]

to me Tom Lehrer is the godfather of satire. If you want to qualify that with 'American satire' I won't cause a fuss.

Props to Jello Biafra as well.

There are too many to pick from. Colbert has to be my favorite though.

Also "Wierd Al" Yankovic, if that counts (it should, right?)

 

[Scythos]

Don't ever see Frankie perform stand up then. It's just a huge disappointment when 90% of the material you've heard before =/

 

[historybuff]

Colbert and Jon Stewart.

And I have an attachment to The Onion.

 

[Jerious1154]

Catch-22 -- Possibly the funniest novel ever written.

 

[soren7550]

Weird Al Yankovich
Scary Movie 1-3

Uhh, that's all I can think of at the moment.

 

[Flying-Emu]

Oh shi-

That was satire?

 

[Jumping_Over_Fences]

Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut, or anything else by him.

...except Galapagos, I just couldn't finish that damn book, especially because it was very clear how it was going to end very early.

My sarcasm alert just went off!
