We chose helicopter parenting as our topic because we found helicopter parenting a common issue in todays society. The articles we read in class on helicopter parenting inspired us to make a satire video on the issue. According to Dictionary. com, the definition of satire is “the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, of ridicule to expose and criticize people’s stupidity or vices…” In our video, we use many examples of satire to express our aspect on helicopter parenting. Some examples of satire in our video include five tools. The five tools we used are mock encomium, surprise, invective, inflation, and situational irony. We used mock encomium in the scene when the mom comes into the classroom and interrupts the class to check on her daughter.
