How to Write and Teach Satire: Roasting Groupthink Gurus
Writing the Satire
Groupthinks a satire buffet – roast its drones. Target a team: “They brainstormed so hard, ideas ran away.” Hit the cult – consensus, chants: “Unitys our strength – and our blank minds.” Keep it tight – conformitys the sin. Write: “Meeting agreed were geniuses – proofs missing.” Office Spaces 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: “Plans so good, we forgot it!” Discuss snap: flaw wins. Warn off vague – tight rules. Group-off: pitch a herd jab, best drone wins. Groupthinks a flock – teach them to shear it.
