Can anyone more knowledgeable than I point out any examples of the Vilification Tennis show doing productive social satire - that is, making fun of something in order to demonstrate its impropriety or nonsensical nature?

I'm seeing excuses that I shouldn't be offended at their upcoming show because it's productive social satire.

I think it's just an excuse and the show isn't about satire, it's about getting laughs by being as mean as possible. They are really good at it. They get a lot of laughs. I think they're kidding themselves about the satire, but I'm not that familiar with their shows.

If they do it again and again after repeatedly being asked not to I give them the final 'I told you this hurt me and you didn't stop' and then I stop being friends with them. But Each incident isn't so cut and dry. I cannot tell someone who makes their living a fat suit to stop making a living that way. I can either accept it as part of them or not be friends with them. It's kinda selfish and silly to think my way of living is the best/only way of living for everyone.
