A sitcom isn't usually the right tool for satire.
Chris Morris
All satire is blind to the forces liberated by decay. Which is why total decay has absorbed the forces of satire.
Theodor Adorno
But in terms of satire and comedy, our biggest and earliest influence was Mad magazine.
Jerry Zucker
Comedy has to be done en clair. You can't blunt the edge of wit or the point of satire with obscurity. Try to imagine a famous witty saying that is not immediately clear.
James Thurber
Conventional show-biz savvy held that Americans hated to be the objects of satire.
Carroll O'Connor
Fools are my theme, let satire be my song.
Lord Byron
For years, reality has been nipping at the heels of satire. Now, it's finally caught up. I don't need to make this stuff up.
Paul Krassner
Hollywood is horrible... it's beyond satire.
Yahoo Serious
I like the George Romero films, which were really great, social satire movies; really twisted.
John Cusack
I never wanted to do political satire because it seems too surface to me.
Tracey Ullman
I think up until the point when we started in the business, which was in the early '70s, most of the humor was political. The smart humor was political satire.
David Zucker
If you're going to get into social criticism with absurdity and satire, you can't be politically correct when you do that.
John Cusack
It is difficult not to write satire.
Juvenal
It is hard for power to enjoy or incorporate humour and satire in its system of control.
Dario Fo
It seems like there's a lot of people who just do not understand satire. They think it's weird. There's people who just don't understand you portray something or just explore a character, it means you're condoning it, saying this is the way to live.
Mike Judge
It struck me that working digitally with a small crew, I could lay out a general plan for Famous and hope for mistakes which would create something more than satire and something less than truthful reality.
Griffin Dunne
People say satire is dead. It's not dead; it's alive and living in the White House.
Robin Williams
Pornography is a satire on human pretensions.
Angela Carter
Praise undeserved, is satire in disguise.
Alexander Pope
Satire is a lesson, parody is a game.
Vladimir Nabokov
