One of my favorite shows is "That 70s show". Right now it's off the air but when it was running I watched it and now I still watch the reruns.
The show on a whole uses Satire a lot but here are some of the examples:
There is a lot of irony like when Michael Kelso cheats on his girl friend but when she cheats on him he gets extreamly angry and threatens to dump her.
Another example of satire is the contant use of sarcasm. Eric's dad will say something to him, and Eric will respond with a sarcasm which gets him usually called a smart mouth. An instance of this is when Eric's dad says what are you going to do with your life and Eric says, "Everything you do Daddy!"
Another use of satire That 70s show frequently uses is when they immitate an old fashon movie or scene with one of their own. Like when Hide, one of Eric's friends, moves into Erics house and they have a black and white scene that's like: "So, your parents got a new son", "well look on the bright side, you can watch your parents and their new son through the window", "If they let you". This scene was in format of a black and white silent movie though.
Altogether that 70s show uses satire in every episode.
