So far, no example
of British satire has appeared on this blog. This is really unpardonable when you
consider the great amount of amazing British satire out there. I became
aware of this a few hours ago when I was watching a celebrity talk show, featuring
celebrities that all spoke of the same thing when interviewed (though, I admit
it, they all had slightly different ways of saying the same thing). This made
me think of an Oprah-sketch
from A Bit of Fry & Laurie (a British comedy show) that I saw a
while ago, featuring Stephen
Fry as Oprah Winfrey and Hugh Laurie as a celebrity being interviewed by
her.
This is true satire in that it is “almost indistinguishable from the
actual
Oprah show” (which is the sketch's most liked comment on Youtube). At
least I think so. Watch it for yourselves and see if you agree.
