The Daily Show is incapable of being satire focused.
A feature of satire is strong irony or sarcasm "in satire, irony is militant", according to literary critic Northrop Frye but parody, burlesque, exaggeration, juxtaposition, comparison, analogy, and double entendre are all frequently used in satirical speech and writing
Following in this tradition, Juvenalian satire addresses perceived social evil through scorn, outrage, and savage ridicule
