Abstract
The ubiquity of satire in contemporary American popular culture suggests an opening for contributing to theory about that particular kind of comic artefact. In addition to a sketch of the necessary elements for satire to appear, I offer some theoretical remarks about the field of study—humor studies as it is usually called, The Comic as I term the enterprise. Potential meanings of comic laughter are explored in order to probe the nature of satire and its reception by audiences and readers.
