A satire is piece of literature or visual art that usually addresses some type of problem or situation going on in the world or in a certain area. It addresses the problem by making fun of it, so it is usually seen as a humorous thing, but often has a deeper meaning behind it to show a certain truth to the situation.
South Park would be one of the biggest satires in television. Almost every single episode is directed towards making fun of political ideas, racism, celebrities, and social groups. They often make fun of the events in such a way that is so rediculous that it shows you how stupid the person or situation really is.
Shows like Family guy could be considered satires as well since their main jokes are usually based off current events.
