Although many would perceive this video as nothing more than a mere jest, I believe that there may be more to it than meets the eye. Satirical humor is usually straightforward, despite it’s best efforts to confuse its audience in a way that is eccentric yet comical.
According to an article on Wikipedia, modern critics call the Greek playwright Aristophanes one of the best known early satirists: his plays are known for their critical political and societal commentary, particularly for the political satire by which he criticized the powerful Cleon (as in The Knights). In other words, satirical humor was once held at the highest esteem- a performing art. In the modern world, television shows such as the Colbert Report, South Park, Tim and Eric, etc. are well-known examples of this brand of humor-now grown to a subculture i call deadpan.
The reason I give this video the title “art” is because, unlike many of the popular examples of television shows I just listed, it is ambiguous as to whether or not this poor performance this poor woman puts on is intentional or not: the perfect satire.
