Political satire

You can find political satire far back in the recordings of history. Leadership has been a target of comedians for ages. Making fun of a leader is always easier to promote because you are linking to their fame. It is also more competitive because many others are doing the same thing. The biggest downside of writing political satire is that it has a margin of time to be popular.

The easiest way to begin writing is to imagine the politician as he or she having to say what they really mean. It really isn't that hard to do with most of them. You can pick almost any issue find humor in the way a politician looks at it. You can also take everything they are for and make them against it. You can use their mannerisms and their body language to enhance your funny lines about them.

Politicians are always spending too much money or spending too much time not doing their job. So many times they say one thing and do another. It may take a little research but the funny stuff is most certainly there. Pretty much anything they do concerning their job is fair game. Their personal lives however, should go untouched. Always remember it is political and not personal.

The world is filled with funny politicians and sometimes their antics alone write the comedy lines for you. You can even imagine things like "If so and so were a different sex, what would he or she do then?" You can make them a different race, size, religion or political party and come up with hilarious material! Make yourself laugh and you can make the world laugh.
