What is ultimate satire? What makes a comedy funny?

I'm not sure, but, satire is ultimately garbage.

Learn how to use commas if you're going to use them.

There's a whole lot of satirical lit. Satire is a response to a specific culture, so it'd be hard to find one "ultimate" satire. Or maybe it'd be something gay like a satire of satires. Not sure.

The ultimate work of satire is probably Candide follow by Gulliver's Travels

lol this.
I'm taking Classics in college and we did Wasps last year. My teacher tried to make it funny by illustrating how random and slapstick it was.

It was probably funny two thousand and fifty years ago, but desu even the smartest satire from our generation won't seem funny to people in the future.

A comma can be used to indicate nothing more than a pause, if the writer desires.
