NOTE: USE STRONG VERBS.

Today in class we watched ta few episodes of “Last Week Tonight.”

It’s a variety show on HBO.

Last Week Tonight is a unique show as it utilizes satire
to make nuanced points on real-life issues, often using exaggeration as a means of humor.

Depending on your class we watched 2 to 3 episodes from this list:

“Automation” or  “Psychics” or “WWE” or “Medicare for All” or “Warehouses.”

For your assignment write about two of those episodes.

SATIRE

If you don’t understand satire, study the definition of satire.

To truly understand satire this video example is really strong.

Your assignment is as follows.

Write a 1-page analysis. This is very easy. Answer three questions.

What was the show about?
Did you like it?
Why?

1-page –as always, typed, double space, 12 point Times Roman font.

Always edit and DO NOT cheat, i.e., copy stuff off the internet.

You will fail the class if I catch you cheating.
