This video is from The Colbert Report and is satirizing astronauts. He talks about NASA's 'great' finds and exaggerates on everything that he says. When he is talking about NASA, he makes it sound like that he is being serious, but in reality, he is being sarcastic to the highest degree. I chose this satire because it shows good techniques of a satire, such as sarcasm, exaggeration, parody, and may others. This satire is a good example because it can represent verisimilitude, or the quality of realness in something.
