Satire you morons

Parody is a smaller part of satire as a whole

You use parody to satirize

right.
+ the whole show isn't a parody of anything. only some episodes.
and it reflects on our media consumption habits...
I also wrote a little about alice in wonderland which is cool
does anyone know a "citable" dictionary for literary terms (I don't want him to read my works cited and laugh)

I first was like when I heard we were watching an episode of the simpsons cuz I thought we were watching a newer one but then I saw it and was like
would the very beginning and the ned flanders one be a good example without having to talk about what has happened before?
I think I'll finish this tomorrow and do something else now. maybe descartes or reading the other tons of pages we have to read

but when is he really satirically awesome (I know always but I need something that fucking hits you in the face with its satiricality and that can be refered to the viewer getting moral messages in reverse and all that cuz that's where I stopped writing and I don't want to delete all that shit)

the thing about essays is you can usually cut out all the bullshit and say what you're trying to say in a couple of paragraphs

i fucking hate essays and i always failed them for that reason

I wrote really big parts of it and then I found out that we have to discuss that essay by that australian bitch on the simpsons and now I'm desperatly struggling to manage that shit.
My essay in short form:
It's not a parody
It's not a parody of a sitcom because it is a sitcom
It's not a parody despite the fact that it has parodies in it
It's a satire
it's reflective
people get moral messafes by avoiding the stupid behaviour
what I want to write about is the way characters are like living stereotypes, which makes it a satire but I don't have the space
