MAD magazine schooled me on SATIRE when I was 12 .I came to your channel to learn the differences between satire and parody. farce was a bonus.

[andreas]

[Sphepunk]

Honestly satire chose me, thank you for the clarity!

[growskull]

farce is stupid and low brow but i love it

[joashlee]

I never comment on anything, but I absolutely adored the nerdy thoroughness of thought dotted by wacky sound effects in this video (bupwup)!! You're absolutely killing it content and execution wise and I can't wait for you to blow up as you keep doing what you're doing °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

[DillVicious]

Very high quality and informative video. I wish u the best in your YT journey! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[alexandralumme]

Excellent! Thank you for answering what farce is! Been wondering that ever since I learnt Send in the clowns, now this all makes sense!

[evilsharkey]

[FarhadMahdian]

I think i love satire the most but i love all of these. I found this video looking for the difference in types of comedies because I am going to be a comedy youtube channel. Ive made satire videos before for college projects. I had so much fun. Farce appeals to me a lot because I love the chaos lol. I am gen Z but i have watched many shows and movies that my dad liked.. he was born 1979. So 80s to 90s n early 2000 movies n shows I grew up on. I remember the first time i watched a parody movie but i especially remember watching a lot of parody comedy on youtube . Ryan nigahiga does some, guava juice and wassabi did a series featuring a character named yolanda a parody on dora the explorer, etc.
Thank you for the info . I subscribed. :) will watch more of your videos

[deighcheeneamar]

I think satire would be challenging so I'm going with it

[daniellexhegarty]

oh my gosh, i’ve just found your channel & this is exactly what i’ve been looking for, amazing amazing content thank you! 🎭

Sir as you know today there are so many acting courses. The same institute had many different duration of courses like Short courses of 3 months, Crash course of a few days and other diploma/degree courses of 1, 2, 3 years.
Every course had a primary focus on acting only, so what to do.

Now which one to opt?
what is the duration of the acting course that one should prefer if he is a beginner?
Ideal duration?

Will wait for your reply.
Love from India 🇮🇳

Correct me if I am wrong
:-We can watch some farces in between a parody movie but we can't watch any farces or parodies ina satirical movie
And the ⬇️⬇️ is my personal opinion
I like parody movies than a satirical movie because in a parody movie there is no lagging means just using an issue and making comedy, but in a satirical movies, humiliation and commenting on it is very funny but it will be getting bored and it looks like a lag sometimes for me

[charlesbannon]

Thanks for the video. It was very poignant. I live and breath satire, so that. Though farce can kinda be paired with that too.
IE the utter absurdity of blood and violence in Stormship troopers. Often I feel satire exaggerates issues to show its self awareness, kind of also done to also be a tell its not a serious opinion.

[meedodedo]

I'm lucky to find your video ... thanks

[americanmade]

I was hoping you'd find A reason to mention the movie that is probably the finest amalgam of all three: "Blazing Saddles".

[LostAllEmotion]

Been using satire and parody interchangeably. Whoops.

[Theisaakgz]

One of my favorite parody movies is Naked Gun
