Satire: Roasting Groupthink Gurus

How to Write and Teach Satire: Roasting Groupthink Gurus

Writing the Satire

Groupthink’s a satire buffet – roast its drones. Target a team: “They brainstormed so hard, ideas ran away.” Hit the cult – consensus, chants: “Unity’s our strength – and our blank minds.” Keep it tight – conformity’s the sin. Write: “Meeting agreed we’re geniuses – proof’s missing.” Office Space’s yes-men inspire. Start small: “Team says yes – I forgot why.” Practice turns herds into hilarity.

Teaching the Technique

Teach group roasts with a herd twist. Give “team win” – twist: “Team so tight, we lost alone!” Show Office Space clips – drones, zing. Steps: cult, dumb, jab. Assign “group plan” – spark: “Plan’s so good, we forgot it!” Discuss snap: flaw wins. Warn off vague – tight rules. Group-off: pitch a herd jab, best drone wins. Groupthink’s a flock – teach them to shear it.
