Different types of satire

The difference between what determines good and bad satire can only depend on the aims and objectives of the particular satirist we are talking about. Satire is such a vast field to explore (Dating back centuries ago to the days of Aristotle, all the way till now where we have people like Parker and stone creating extreme content for their take on current affairs). Lets face it, there are many parodies , all which are created for different purposes, some being more savage and vulger (with more direct and hard hitting attacks) than others.

Therefore I feel like I have to grab a focus and try to explore:

• The aims and methods of satire
• The different traditions of satire and how these have been adopted and or modified by animators (since I myself am an animator)
• The different purposes and intentions behind both cynical and savage satire
