Parody vs. Satire
2
The Difference Between the Two

• Parody
• Parody makes fun of another work by imitating
  some aspect of it.
• Parody is meant for mocking and does not contain
  anything serious.
• Parody is pure entertainment and nothing else.
• Parody does not intend to bring about societal
  change.
• Parody can make fun of literature, film,
  advertising, popular culture, etc.

The Difference Between the Two

• Satire
• Satire ridicules the shortcomings of people or
  institutions in an attempt to bring about a
  change.
• Satire makes a serious point, usually through
  humor, while attacking some aspect of society.
• Satire often uses irony and exaggeration to make
  its point.
• Satire can sometimes use parody to make a point
  (but not all parodies are satire!)
