Satire

Satire: The use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices.

An example of satire is Family Guy.

There's Something About Paulie -Season 2. In this send up of the mobster mentality in which Peter is enlisted to see that Big Fat Paulie, a Jersey mobsters relative is taken care of during his visit to Quahog, when he accidently gets Paulie to put a hit out on Lois. Chaos ensues, ending in the Godfather's daughter's wedding and a Tiramisu. Classic family guy humor with some solid asides.
