I am going to discuss the above statement, "Satire must be contemporary", making reference to a contemporary comedian and other academic sources, to aid and support my exploration and discussion of the subject.

"It is alive and thriving because it springs from feelings and behaviour that are shared by many people. As with any other kind of expression it may become at times esoteric and obscure, but that does not change the fact that at it's core satire speaks for and to human beings of diverse backgrounds. " (Test G, 1991, P.5-6).

-This statement suggests once again that it is the emotions, behaviour and character traits which allow past satire to still be prevelant in modern culture.
