Satire Essay
This essay will discuss a Simpson episode, the satire in it and weather or not it was successful. The episode I will discuss is on Guns, in which Homer buys a gun to protect his family but loses them in the process. This Simpson's episode starts with a commercial for a soccer match which it's self uses satire by listing the names of all the South American players. It also lists the features of soccer such as low scoring, ties and slow game play but says it in a way to interest the viewer. The match it's self also use's satire in the two commentators. The American commentator is not impressed by the slow play and little action of the game whereas the South America is screaming into the microphone the names of the players this is an example of juxta position. As the crowd becomes less and less enthusiastic about the game and try leaving a riot breaks out over who is going to leave first, at this point Willie a Scotsman says to his fellow Scots ' Tis no soccer riot, let's take em' to school boys'. This is a parody on the violence of riots and how many Europeans take their sport so seriously. This riot continues into the night and over the news Mayor Quimbe declares Mob rule and every family for t
Marge is angry and says that people trying to protect their family usually kill a family member. Homer holds and NRA meeting in the house and is kicked out of the NRA because he uses the gun too much for simple things like turning on the T. Just as the Robber is about to make his getaway the NRA members bust though the door and scare him away, they tell every body that the clerk tripped the silent alarm. When Homer and Marge come in, they see Bart about to shoot and apple in Milhouses mouth. At the meeting, Moe is telling the members how a 'punk' tried to rob him and Moe shot him in the back. The Simpson's has much succuss in getting across the point in their shows through satire. This is ironic because the motel has hourly rates, prostitutes out the front, coin operated beds and bibles and surveillance cameras in the roof. When Homer arrives Homer he tells Marge to shut her eyes because he has a surprise, when she opens her eyes Homer is pointing the gun at Marge. In the next scene Homer is entering a gun shop called ' Blood Bath and Beyond'. When they arrive, the sign reads Sleezy Motel in the place off Sleep Ezy Motel. The Simpson's writers use the show to satires modern problems and send them up to get across their ideas to people young and old. When they are checking out of the hotel, it gets held up, Homer whips the gun and the robber drops the knife and his hostage.
