Family Guy
The television series Family Guy pokes fun at numerous other past pieces of work (like Star Wars for example). The show uses satire, or a form of humor, to point out the ridiculousness of the plot line. By using crude, distasteful forms of humor, the show makes its audience laugh. The series is mainly a form of Juvenalian satire, utilizing sarcasm, irony and criticism. Family Guy also utilizes a couple weapons of satire: Burlesque, by using over the top, mocking imitation, and forms of Caricature, which is association with visual images. The show can also be considered to be a Parody, due to its mocking style. One last comic device the show relies on is known as Slapstick, due to all the use of humorous pyshical abuse. The show is both funny and satirical at the same time.
