Satire is the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.
In my sophomore year I read Animal Farm by George Orwell. The book makes fun of the Russian Revolution and replaces the real characters with farm animals. I sometimes watch Saturday Night Live and they make fun of currents media and people. Kind of like parodies. So I think satire is basically sugarcoating something. Instead of using bad language criticizing something, you use humor to make it less offensive.
