What is satire? It's easy to throw out a quick satire definition, but many people don’t truly understand the origins of satire or the characteristics of satire. In fact, there are three types of satire, each with their own approach, targets, and goals. In this explainer, we’ll take it back to Ancient Greece and Rome to see the origin of satire and how it branched out into Horatian satire, Juvenalian satire, and Menippean satire.
In general, we can define satire as a storytelling genre that mocks, ridicules, and criticizes perceived wrongs in our society and belief systems. Therefore, one of the main functions of satire is to inspire change intended to “right these wrongs.” The method with which each writer or filmmaker uses satire to achieve that change varies between the three main types of satire. So, where can we use satire? Let’s jump into some of the most popular satirical examples in film history that answer that question.
Our first and one of the most popular types of satire comes from Horace (65 BC - 8 BC), a Roman writer known for playfully mocking leading figures of his day in his work. Horatian satire is usually comedic in tone and the critique can be mild - it’s more of a playful mockery than an abrasive condemnation. In our video, we chose Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove as one of the best satirical examples in the Horatian mode. The film takes aim at the absurdity of nuclear brinkmanship and the cartoonish leaders responsible for it.
Next, we have Juvenalian satire, which is one of the more darker and antagonistic kinds of satire. Named for the caustic Roman writer Juvenal (1st Century AD - 2nd Century AD), this mode of satire is light on comedy and much more pointed in its criticism of social institutions like government, politicians, and class structures. A fantastic modern example of Juvenalian satire is Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite - which tackles capitalism and the way it forces both the rich and poor to act like parasites.
Finally, we’ll look at Menippean satire, which can vary wildly in tone but focuses its critiques on mental attitudes and belief systems such as racism and religion. This satiric mode of storytelling is named after Menippus (3rd Century BC) even though all of his own writings are lost to time - all we have are other contemporaneous writers discussing his work. We chose Taika Waititi’s Jojo Rabbit as our main example of Menippean satire because it turns a very serious and dangerous historical movement (Nazi Germany) into something completely absurd.
No matter the social institution or belief system you feel needs changing, one of these main types of satire can be the ideal vehicle to deliver your message and bring change to the world.

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.

“Wow, this is so metaphorical!” But really, I do like this metaphor
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?

"Every satire needs a target". Strangely, this reminds me of The Wild Ones: "So, what are you against?" Brando: "Whaddya got?" After seeing the movie The Sting in the theatere, my dad asked me what I thought the moral of the movie was. I puzzled over this for a few seconds and replied that I didn't think there was a moral to the story. "Sure there is", my dad replied, "the moral of the story is, 'Crime *does* pay!' "
My favorite satire is Irresistible. Unlike other satires, it is VERY mild in it's exaggeration. It's so toned down that it feels like a "based on a true story" movie. Looking back on it, I would describe it as a grounded Horatian satire on the American electoral system
So in simpler terms: Horatian satire is when you make fun of your target by pushing things to the absurd (Idiocracy), Juvenalian - is when you criticize the subject by drawing parallels to what happened or is happening in real life, and Menippean - is a mix of mockery and absurd? Tell me if I'm wrong.
@StudioBinder

Juvenalian is more about the tone, it's designed to make us angry about whatever topic is being addressed. Menippean can be either humorous or dark; the unique feature is what it targets- morals and beliefs

You can do satire without exaggerating, almost writing a documentary. There's a perfect example of that, the best TV show ever created - Yes, Prime Minister.
On Northrop Frye's Anatomy of Criticism, he explains that the difference between irony and satire, as genres, is that satire is militant, or political, as it makes clear that there is a legitimate moral code of conduct - which is implied as the normal, or the ethical way of seeing things - to which the narrative contrasts its characters and characterization, in general, against an absurd or ridiculous set of beliefs. Satire is closer to comedy than irony is, because it's the clash of a normative/oppressive society against the hero's society (or system of beliefs).
7:40 South Park perfectly fits the description of Juvenilian satire.
Recently had my first watch of Don’t Look Up, would that be more Juvenalian than Horatian? I found the commentaries on our online community and society legitimately hilarious, but couldn’t completely ignore the pain I started to feel while watching it.

Not making a lot of sense, here. Movie clips obfuscate the subject. For example, if you introduce Aristophanes, provide a few quotes. The man was screamingly funny. He was forever attacking Socrates and putting words in his mouth. One of his funniest bits was Socrates' opinion on whether a mosquito made its high-pitched noise with its mouth or its asshole. Of course Socrates never said anything of the kind. That's just one example.
I feel like “Don’t Look Up’ is a mix of Horation and Juvenalian. Is that possible or am I just wrong?
The voice is so soothing...
most people who quote _idiocracy_ are actually the demographic that the movie is satirizing
What's the name of that stop motion animation clip you showed at the beginning? Which movie is it from?
so many comments "internet killed satire" or "modern world can't have satire as everyone gets offended" - yeah.. it is because people get so easily offended satire can grow.. if anything many of the extremes we see happening in real world are satire that the masses have gobbled up in the need for perpetual offense in search for attention.

Satire is meant to mock those in power. To mock those without power is not satire, it's bullying. (Terry Pratchett)
Parasite and some other films mentioned in the video explicitly critique Capitalism and labor exploitation and not just simplified version of it which is "have vs have nots."

Capitalism plays a role, but Bong Joon-Ho has always been interested in class inequality and Parasite focuses primarily on it
11:30 korean dramas and movies are so often comical AND then extremely dark later on, western audiences would say it’s a tonal whiplash but I wonder if cultural difference is at play here
Sir on the grave voice, I miss your amazing voice 😍 good hear you again
This was so amazing and I thoroughly enjoy it. Curious if there's any examples of non-white examples of satire, as this is obviously very euro-centric...

It seems that the entire point of satire is to amuse the intelligent but powerless. Satire has never changed anything, has it?
Idiocracy was an amazing way to end the video. All of the movie examples were phenomenal by the way, props.
i love that even the "Origins of Satire" part was satire.

sorry. what i really meant was: *ahem* i like how he said "it's satirin' time" and then satired all over the place. there. culturally relevant reference for our current moment!
Someone needs to create a satirical movie targeting the unhelpful, pretentious and deliberately exclusionary names for forms of satire. Why use self explanatory terms such as "light hearted satire", "dark satire", "belief focused satire" when you can use the names of ancient greek/roman intellectuals? The feeling of superiority you feel when asked to explain the meaning of those to your less "cultured" colleagues is just exquisite.
It was in ancient Roman satire that they first sang "I'm Romely, so Romely--"
really good video!

I think Idiocracy was more of a satire on American culture than politics.
