Nah - read those. Then I read this definition for satire "the use of humour, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues." The American definition is slightly different from the UK one which is "Satire, artistic form, chiefly literary and dramatic, in which human or individual vices, follies, abuses, or shortcomings are held up to censure by means of ridicule, derision, burlesque, irony, parody, caricature, or other methods, sometimes with an intent to inspire social reform."
I suppose it's the humour that got me - as in it wasn't funny? British satire can have humour (and much does) but loads of other styles of content.
I think. Maybe.
