Agreed. But that was different from, say, poking fun at Johnny Depp's portrayal of Willy Wonka or the age difference between Daniel Radcliffe and Harry Potter. That
does fit the definition.
I thoroughly enjoyed that second video, by the way.

By that logic, all observational humor is satire.
On the other hand, since I have not and hopefully never will see any of the "_____ Movie" movies, I can't say for certain that it isn't satire. But even if it does fit the letter of the definition, I very much doubt it's
good satire. It may very well be satire in the same sense that a hubcap between two donuts is a sandwich.

I was thinking the exact same thing. :D

Well.....the two do seem to be closely related. You
can satirize real life, after all.

That's a funny way of spelling "best."

My feelings exactly. In what universe does something like this happen? Give me a fucking break.
