"The Office" is a tv series the qualifies as satire because it has humor, irony and makes countless references/jokes about politics and real world issues they address with a humorous approach.
Another example of satire is the book Animal Farm by George Orwell. "He replaces the Russian people with animals on a farm, with the leading figures of communism represented by pigs. At first these pigs are supportive of equal rights for all animals, but gradually they give themselves all the benefits and exclude the other animals from the rewards of the farm. The men who were expelled at the beginning of the story represent the Tsars; by the end of the story, however, men are back on the farm and the animals outside cannot tell the difference between the pigs and the men. Orwell used this satire example to show that the men who came to power after the Russian Revolution were no more “equal” to the common people than the Tsars before them." The entire book has allegory, George Orwell wrote like this because during the time period we was writing the Russian Revolution was occurring and he couldn't just say things so he had to write with hidden meaning while also showing the flaws in Russian politics."
