How to Write and Teach Satire: Corporate Comedy
Writing the Satire
Corporate satire rips suits – juicy stuff. Target a CEO: “He cut jobs to fund his moon golf.” Hit buzz – synergy, pivot: “Teamworks my jets name.” Keep it real – tie to greed. Dilbert nails office farce. Start work: “Meetings vital – nap time!” Practice turns boardrooms into buffoons.
Teaching the Technique
Teach corporate jabs with buzz bait. Give “layoff news” – twist: “Fired to boost my yacht!” Show Dilbert strips – suits, sting. Steps: target, buzz, jab. Assign “team talk” – spark: “Synergy sank us – great!” Discuss bite: truth wins. Warn off vague – sharp rules. Corp-off: pitch a suit jab, best sting wins. Suits are clowns – teach them to spotlight it.
