There is a slight difference between the idea of a parody and that of a satire.
A satire is typically politically charged, and written for the purpose of promoting change.
Example: "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift.
A parody, however, tends to show respect for the source that it is imitating.
“The use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of the words’ literal meaning.”
Situational – When the opposite of what is expected to happen, happens.
Verbal – When a speaker intends to be understood as meaning something that contrasts with the literal or usual meaning of what he or she says.
Dramatic –When the reader or audience is aware of something that the characters are not, thus creating suspense.
Burlesque - a literary, dramatic or musical work intended to cause laughter by caricaturing the manner or spirit of serious works, or by ludicrous treatment of their subjectsExample: Stewie from “Family Guy.”
Lampoon- Publicly criticize (someone or something) by using ridicule, irony, or sarcasm
Sarcasm – The use of irony to mock or convey contemptSpoof – A humorous imitation of something, typically a film or a
particular genre of film, in which its characteristic features are exaggerated for comic effect
